Our new shipment of Inspirations will already come with removable rollers. Once you receive your Inspiration you’ll want to make sure that you place them on the metal bar. This ensures that as the Inspiration is cutting your project that the material you have on your mat is held firmly in place. However sometimes the rollers are more harmful than helpful. For example as the rollers roll over soft materials like fondant, cookie dough, or even fun foam they can leave ridges in their path. They can also smear ink if you are using an extra “juicy” pen with your pen tool. So there are some situations where you will prefer to have the rollers off. If you have a machine that already has the rollers attached you can take an exacto knife and cut the four rollers off. You can purchase a package of removable rollers for your Inspiration for $3.95. If you find that you don’t do that much journaling using the pen tool and you don’t ever cut any soft materials then there’s no need to replace the rollers on your Inspiration with removable ones. We also have a video tutorial on the removable rollers to help clarify any of your questions and learn how to make sure that they’re properly installed
