Paper Cutting Questions

Recommended Posts

I have a couple of questions about cutting card-stock for craft type projects. Without getting into lasers, I want to know more about those machines that cut with knives.

If you are familiar with the Cricut and Silhouette Cameo desktop craft cutters, these questions might be for you. What are these machines called generically or in the industry? I tried looking them up on google to see if someone makes larger, commercial grade machines, but didn't know what keywords to use...

Do they all require the sticky mats to hold the paper or are there other methods out there for cutting intricate shapes from card stock?

Also, how successfull have any of you been in using a vinyl US Cutter machine (SC 34" is the one I'm looking at) to cut card stock from 12"x12" sheets?

Thanks in advance!

Get one of the backing sheets that are used for the Cricut. It gives something for the card stock to stick to while cutting. You can get them at most craft stores or WalMart.
