Placing Matboard When Cutting from the Back

Info

When the Cutting Preview screen indicates that the current layer is to be cut from the Back of the mat, this also determines how to place the matboard onto the CMC.

Tip

  • Default Settings: See Admin > Cutting for the default settings for Cutting from the Front or the Back.

  • Have Two Layers of adequate size of disposable matboard under the Mat to be Cut; a Layer can be temporarily removed when cutting thicker matboard.

  • Place the matboard into the left corner of the CMC, making sure that the matboard nestles tightly into the Horizontal and Vertical Clamps.

titleCut From the Back Definition

Cutting from the Back will cut with the back of the mat toward the operator, and can be selected on the Cutting Preview.

Configurations cut from the Back will only display the bevel type name with no further label; i.e., Normal Bevel.

If you are cutting an element that must be applied to the front of the mat, such as a V-Groove or Pen design, any openings on that layer will also cut from the front and use the Front of Mat configuration item; i.e., Normal Bevel-Front of Mat.

titleBacking Board Definition

The Backing Boards are Two Sheets of matboard placed on the CMC behind the sheet of matboard being cut.

This protects the CMC’s metal surface and helps stabilize the mat being cut.

One sheet can be removed when cutting thicker material if needed.

  • When cutting from the Back, make sure the front of the matboard is facing the CMC.
