A4 and A5 mirrored vignettes – We recommend printing out mirrored vignettes in 120gsm Pro Printing Paper
We recommend the Canon PIXMA TS5105. These are affordable at-home printers that we use ourselves for testing artwork. However, any inkjet printer should give you great results when combined with our Pro Printing Paper.
We recommend using our Pro Printing Paper, with the printer settings ‘Media type: Photo’ and ‘Quality: Best’ to get vivid, high quality and stunning results when printing out our artwork. Remember also to print out at 100% or ‘Actual Size’.
We cannot guarantee results when using a laser printer.
USB
There is a known problem with all brands of USB’s since Adobe performed an update some time ago. Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Acrobat rectifies the problem. If not, then right click to see which other programmes are available on your computer to open the USB with or you can copy and paste it onto your desktop and open it from there.
Yes! Our USBs work with all well-known brands of cutting machines. All USBs come with SVG files, and newer USBs also come with dedicated Cricut files.
Dies and Products
If you are cutting out printed artwork we recommend Pro Printing Paper, but for other cuts you can use any paper you like. Perfect Papers, and Blush.
We recommend using Cut Tidy to help cuts go through. We recommend placing the die towards the back of the cutting plate and to the side. Machine pressure, shims, sandwiches. Cut tidy instructions
You can register your interest on the product page to receive an email when it’s back in stock. We regularly keep track of which items people are registering their interest for so remember to do this so we know you’re waiting for it!
Cut-Tidy not only keeps all your die cut pieces safe, it also helps you cut those more intricate dies! Simply create your Cut Tidy sandwich like so: Place your cardstock or printed artwork inside the Cut Tidy, close it up, and then place your die on top of the Cut TIdy. Then all you need to do is place it through your die-cutting machine!
Firstly, check if your die is a ‘split die’, if so, no it is not broken! You can use your split die by placing it over your card bases so that it goes just slightly over the sides. When you cut it out, your card base will fit perfectly to the contours of the main die you’re using.
In the unlikely event that your die is not a split die and is in two parts please contact [email protected]. Please include your order number and photos of your problem.
Oh no! We know that it can be difficult to keep track of intricate die sets. Read our article on storing your dies here to avoid this happening again:
At our own discretion, we are sometimes able to send out replacement parts for die sets for a cost. To discuss this email [email protected]. Please include a photo of the dies that you do still have, which die you’re missing, and your original order number.
You can add products to your favourites to easily access them later. You can then find these in the ‘favourites’ section of ‘My account’.
