Troubleshooting
Die not cutting through paper completely
Ensure you are using the correct plate combination and sufficient pressure. Try adding an extra shim or running the sandwich through the machine a second time.
Paper is tearing instead of cutting
Reduce the pressure slightly, or check that the cutting edge of the die is clean and free from debris. Ensure the paper is flat and not buckled.
Die is sticking to the paper after cutting
Gently use a craft pick or brush to release the paper from the die. Ensure no adhesive residue is present on the die.
