Troubleshooting
Die not cutting through paper completely.
Ensure you are using the correct sandwich combination for your machine. You may need to add an extra shim or a thinner cardstock.
Embossing not deep enough.
Check that you are using an embossing pad or mat and that the pressure is sufficient. Adjust your machine's settings or sandwich if possible.
Paper tearing or snagging.
Use slightly lighter weight paper or ensure the die's cutting edge is clean and free of debris. A cutting plate might be too worn.
Die is difficult to remove from cut paper.
Try using a die brush to gently push out the cut-out pieces. Ensure the die is clean and that no paper fibers are stuck in the cutting lines.
