Dark or black card cuts cleanly — the dark colour absorbs the diode beam far better than white paper. Shadow box artwork in black card is an excellent fit for the S6 Pro's capabilities. Intricate paper-cut designs work well at slow speed with steady hands on the honeycomb.

"Used it with a Glowforge — engraved beautifully with no changes. I will be purchasing more digital downloads from this shop."

"This template made my slate coasters so much easier. 4×4 coasters from Michaels drop in easily and are easy to remove. Def worth it."
