*Cutting performance for 8-ply matboard may vary due to changes in material production, matboard manufacturer differences, and the limitations of older hardware.
The CMC Model 8000 is not specifically designed or guaranteed to cut 8-ply matboard, and users attempting to do so may experience inconsistent results.
For optimal performance and reliable compatibility with 8-ply, we recommend upgrading to CMC Models 8000+, Z, or Z1.
