Does anyone have settings for cutting matboard? I need to cut specific, complicated frames and could really use some help with the settings.
Hey, welcome to the forum! The good news is that you’re not alone, lots of people work with new materials all the time.
#6 on this list answers pretty much every question about settings, including a great way to test your specific matboard to get the exactly right settings:
As a START, I have used 183/100/1. This was white…you will have to adjust from there but it’s always nice to have a starting point.
There are quite a few posts here in the forum regarding matboard - some include settings. Here is one example: Custom Mat for Photo Frame
It would be helpful to mention which machine you have. Most of the answers you will get here are for the original (“Performance “) machines, but if you have an Aura or Spark the settings will be very different.
Also matboard comes in so many different densities and thicknesses that running a test is pretty much mandatory.
This. Get comfortable with custom settings and test. I have cut a bunch of mattboard and I don’t think I’ve ever used the same settings twice.
