With such an independently-thinking machine that seems to be able to do so much with such versatility, it may leave you wondering what the machine can’t do. However, depending on the product you buy, you'll find that some vinyl cutters are more capable than others in cutting other materials. This is an extremely important detail that you should be made aware of or inform yourself about before you invest in a machine like this! The last thing you would want is that your vinyl cutter is not cutting into the material that you specifically bought it for! For example, the Cricut Explore Air 2 cuts over 100 different materials into the design of your choice. As technology advances, you'll find that high-quality vinyl cutters can actually cut into materials like paper, cardstock, tissue paper, reflectives, thermal transfer material, and even wood or aluminum.
