Cutting a Typical Matboard with the CMC Z1, Z(9000z), 9000 and 8000+

Note: Decreasing the air pressure will decrease the blade depth.

  • FrameShop will prompt for a head pressure change only if the current mat is a different setting than the previously cut mat.

  • All designs come to the Cut Preview with Dense unchecked on the Cut Speeds screen.

  • Returning to the editor then going to the Cut Preview resets the layers to typical matboard with Dense unchecked.

  • Click Cut to cut the mat and Align the Head if requested.

  • The Head plunges at the home position and applies the current pressure and displays a prompt to adjust the head pressure to the low setting.

  • Pull out the air regulator pressure knob by pulling it to the left.

  • Turn the air regulator pressure knob counter-clockwise until the marker on the gauge is at the low setting.

  • Make sure the gauge does not go below 30 psi.

  • Push the air regulator pressure knob back in by pushing it to the right.

  • Click OK to cut the mat with this setting.

No Speed Reduction

  • This is a feature of the VPO Head; not all CMC models have this feature.  

  • Optionally, select No Automatic Speed Reduction for Depth of 16 and Above if you do not want the CMC to reduce speed when cutting thicker material.

  • Unselect No Automatic Speed Reduction for Depth of 16 and Above to let the CMC automatically reduce speed when cutting thicker material.

  • NOTE: Depending upon the thickness and density of the matboard, you may get better cuts by slowing down the cuts.
