1-8 Introduction
Align cartridges
Drawings containing both black and color elements require alignment of
the color cartridges to the black cartridge. See Appendix A for details.
Cut carefully
Use the correct cutter for the media and set its depth correctly.
Three types of cutting blades are offered: steel, sapphire and ceramic.
For general cutting, use the steel tip. For longer blade life, use the
ceramic blade. For media such as masking film, and for cutting detailed
shapes and characters, use the sapphire blade.
Set the blade depth so that it cuts through the media, but not the sub-
strate. Instructions are included in Chapter 5.
Blades eventually lose sharpness. Be sure to replace the blade when
necessary.
