Page 19: Kiss-Cut
There are two types of matless cutting: kiss-cut and pop-out cut. A kiss-cut is used when you are cutting materials that have a backing, while pop-out cuts slice all the way through a range of materials. When using the Auto Sheet Feeder, you must use one of these two matless cutting options. -
Page 20: Pop-Out Cut
Pop-out cuts will cut all the way through material but leave the shape in place using strategic perforation cuts. Because of a channel that runs under the blade area, your Silhouette machine can cut all the way through the material without a cutting mat. -
