What kind of paper works best with this die?

Troubleshooting
Die not cutting through paper completely.
Ensure you are using the correct sandwich combination for your machine. Try adding a shim (e.g., a piece of cardstock or specialty paper) to increase pressure. Check if your cutting plates are worn and consider replacing them.
Small pieces of the cut word are difficult to remove.
Use a die brush or a piercing tool to gently push out small paper pieces from the intricate areas of the die after cutting. Wiggling the die slightly after the first pass can also help release the paper.
Die seems to be dragging or tearing the paper.
This could indicate too much pressure or that the die is not sitting flat. Adjust your sandwich or try rotating the die. Ensure the paper is placed correctly on the cutting plate.
