Material and operations
Use material confirmed compatible with your Glowforge model and laser type. A vinyl craft blank is not a laser material: Glowforge warns that vinyl can release hazardous gases and damage the machine.
Check the working area
Glowforge gives an 11 by 19.5 in (279.4 by 495.3 mm) print area for its Performance Series. Models and engraving settings can have smaller areas, so use the area shown for your selected machine.
Printing before cutting
The SVG paths can be assigned to laser operations. They are not a blade-cutter Print Then Cut sheet and contain no registration marks for a printer.
