Download the file above and resize the frame to fit your favorite photos.

Vector: 40% speed, 50% power, 100 frequency

A couple of suggestions when working with matboard:

  • Choose a darker color of matboard to decrease the risk of "smoky" cut lines.
  • A darker color also makes the engraving stand out against the background.
  • Use a lower frequency when vector cutting and turn on the Air Assist to improve the cut lines.
