COMMENTS: Mask on both sides and elevate above the table at least 1/8”. Use a lower PPI
setting to reduce discoloration of the cutting edge.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Mat board (thick cardboard) is an excellent material to use for architectural modeling and for
picture framing. It cuts and engraves very neatly and cleanly. It comes in a variety of shades
and colors. Patterns can be engraved on the surface with a power setting for light engraving
which just breaks through the very thin top layer and exposes the lighter colored underlying
substrate. When engraving, a low PPI setting is used to prevent overexposure of the
underlying substrate material which causes excessive dark discoloration. Masking is not
necessary on the top surface when engraving. When cutting, both sides might need to be
masked and the material elevated above the engraving table. This will produce an extremely
clean edge on both sides of the material.
