When performing Basic Cut operations on some materials that need to be processed with the surface facing downward, the normal image needs to be mirrored to obtain the correct processing result.
¶ Which materials require the pattern to be mirrored before processing?
| Material type | Reason for mirroring | Image | Type of cutting platform required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heat Transfer Vinyl | The cutting side of the vinyl is opposite to the ironing side. The ironing side needs to be placed on the cutting platform with the ironing side facing downward. |   |
LightGrip Cutting Mat |
| Reflective Decal Sheet | It needs to be placed with the **reflective side;**acing down on the cutting platform for basic cut. |   |
LightGrip Cutting Mat |
| PU Leatherette Fabric | The leather surface (smooth side) of PU leatherette fabric makes it easier to stick to the platform. When only basic cut is performed, it is recommended to place the leather surface downward.Note: If the processing involves laser technology, the leather surface still needs to be placed upward, and there is no need to mirror the pattern. |   |
StrongGrip Cutting Mat |
When the usable side of the material is not on the same side as the cutting side, it is necessary to mirror the design before processing.
