Cutting Force
To get the right cutting force is a very delicate balance. You want the blade to cut the material and not through to the liner, or scratch the machine. The maximum cutting force is 450 grams on the 120 (48") model.
ARMS
When cutting pre-printed media like stickers and decals, ARMS technology will come in handy. ARMS stands for Automatic Registration Mark Sensor. The machine automatically detects registration marks making contour cutting for decals and stickers much easier. Cut many stickers very fast!
Tangential Emulation
When cutting corners or circles the blade is lifted and pivoted in a different direction to prevent dragging for cleanly cut corners. Cut thicker and thinner materials more accurately, and achieve finer details
Overcut Feature
Cuts the graphic over the end of the line to make sure the cut is complete. This makes weeding a breeze, especially when cutting rhinestone templates.
