Tips for processing
When using cutting machine pens, make sure you use the appropriate holder or pen holder for your cutting machine and select the "Draw" or "Sketch" function in the software. Test for residual material in advance to check the line width and drying time. A steady hand and slow speed or print settings in the cutting machine software help to ensure even lines.
What to look out for when buying
Choose pens according to tip (e.g. 0.3-1.0 mm), color effects (metallic, glitter, matt) and compatibility with your cutting machine. Also pay attention to light resistance and drying time, especially if cards or gift packaging are to be further processed. Keep pens tightly closed for storage so that the tip does not dry out.
