New Epic 6 Info.

I know that there is information going around on the net about issues with some Epic machines. Some cutting mats are having issues and Quickutz is working on a fix for those with an issue. I have seen videos with solutions. Please do not go ahead and do what they say. Do not add the magnetic sheets without some testing.
I had an issue with cutting some 4x8 fonts on my demo machine and that is it. All I did was put an extra piece of cardstock underneath the font and it cut properly. I made the mistake of adding the magnetic-it will not work on most machine and you will break your machine. All it is is that some fonts or dies need a shim, use the one that came with the die or a scrap piece of cardstock. And remember very few machines have this issue.
As for embossing with Texturez Plates from Sizzix. Use the embossing platform(and I did not realize that they were labeled until after I wrote on mine), the texturez plate, the silicone mat from Sizzix and the QK embossing mat. That is it.
I have also found that the Epic embosses the Qk embossing folders much better than the Revolution and the Big Shot.
Now QK is releasing their own rubber embossing mat to impress with cookie cutter dies, they will be shipping in the next bit.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Our next shipment of Epics is due today. We will have only 3 available from that shipment for sale, after that we have no idea when we will get more.
And our Epic sale ends Aug. 1.
Happy Scrapping.
