Purpose of the Arrows on the Top of the Inspiration
Have you ever wondered what the arrow buttons are for on the top of your Inspiration? These buttons make it easier for you to align the starting position of your blade over the top of your desired starting position on your paper. As an example, let’s say you have a 12×12 piece of paper and in the center of the paper is a clean spot to cut your next image. You can move the position of the blade carriage over that specific location on your page and have it cut. You’ll just want to make sure that your image on the screen in the software is in the upper, right hand corner. Another useful function for these buttons is being able to move your mat under the rollers a bit further than the Inspiration automatically loads your mat. This can be especially useful if you have a thicker material on your mat such as chipboard; moving the chipboard under the rollers just a bit will make it easier for the Inspiration to move in to the starting position and the rollers will help keep your material from sliding. While your cutter is capable of performing all of its functions without the use of the buttons on the top of the Inspiration, it’s still nice to know what purpose these buttons can serve for your next project.
