Can CMC cut paper, cardstock, vellum ?

Post by UNIART »

Hi there, I am new to the CMC cutter world - looking at purchasing a second hand "GUNNER F1 hybrid XL" or a "WIZARD 9000" - aside from cutting matboard and foamboard, I was wondering if CMC cutters in general, and these machines specifically, can cut papers of different textures and thicknesses, watercolour papers, vellum etc.

Any info would be appreciated.

Yup Wizard can cut card and paper with ease. You may need to experiment with the holding of the paper.

Let me know if you want more info

all the best

Yes, but it's much better on a machine designed for the task, like the Valiani Optima with a vacuum bed.
It comes with a camera to detect crop marks and cut around them and a special etc etc.
