Plotter cutting mat
There are plotter cutting mats with light, medium and strong adhesive power. The use of the cutting mats must be matched to the material to be cut. It is advisable to use a lightly adhesive plotter cutting mat for paper work, as the paper may stick too strongly to the mat and cannot be removed without leaving residue. For transparencies, use plotter cutting mats with normal or strong adhesive strength.
Cutting mat for plotting
Most cutting mats for plotting have a grid for better positioning of the cutting material. In the plotter software you will find the same grid and can thus plan the cut optimally. The cutting mat for plotting is a consumable like the knife. When the adhesive strength decreases, it can be restored with adhesive spray or a new cutting mat can be purchased.
