Does the metal screw head on the board interfere with drawing on a piece of paper? How do you attach sheets of paper to the board?

I would attach the paper with the blue tape that you find at a hardware store. Regular masking take doesn't work, it sticks to the paper. You could detach the screw if it's on the way. I hope this was helpful!

I use rolls of ordinary adding machine paper. It takes no special paper and prints out just fine. I'm really pleased with mine. I bet you will be, too, if you get one.

There are no clips and the slide bar is a straight edge for drawing straight lines. The paper needs to be held in place with adhesive drafting dots.

The paper is wide enough for the large clips to hold the paper taut but it doesnt work for both sides width wise. I found that keeping the roll tight with a clip works so the roll of paper stays taut as well. The easel and the accessories allow for taut paper options. I have also found that the refill paper pads work well to. I have used tape on the dry erase side to adhere paper for a 2 year old and it comes off fine with no issues to the dry erase side.

You have the option of using the included "magnetic stickers" that are included with the item. You also have the option of using the included double-sided foam tape, as well as included single-sided tape/hanger. All are approximately one square inch. So yes, you may use the included magnets to adhere the board to a metal/magnetic surface. However, it should be noted that the board itself is NOT magnetic. Therefore, magnetic pens will NOT adhere to this board.

You would need to make it into 4 smaller portions so your board can still fold. If you do a large (via a plot printer) and try to fold the large, single piece, the paper will start to curl and peel off. Four separate ones and you'll be fine.

Try putting five sheets of regular paper in the bottom of the feed tray before loading the transparency paper. Also, I add the transparency paper one by one to make sure the sheets don't stick. Works for me.

There should be a small hole on the bottom (middle of the bottom)...we inserted an unfolded paperclip and wiggled until it opened. We had trouble with this too and also wondered why there were no tools/instructions included...Sorry I can't be more helpful!!

Hi! The project I bought this for was to fill in a surface that had a border so I didn't have that issue. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Yes, there should be small plastic rods inside the aluminum rail that grip the paper. If yours does not, then I'd return it for replacement or refund.

There are screws by which the clamp can be removed. Can't answer about mat boards, because I haven't tried that project, but I do cut through card stock often and can cut up to 5 or 6 (depending on weight) rather smoothly. YMMV.

It is very easy to add/remove paper from the rails. They act like a claw that you open a bit and then close around the paper. You could even do double sided I'm sure - a map on each side and spin it around. Cheers!

There's a slit in the back of the machine. Guide paper into that slit and press the "feed" button in the front and it should go in. If it doesn't, make sure the paper edge is even and hold the paper going into the slit firmly while pressing the feed button. Hope that helps.

I don't have that problem, however, pulling the tray out to fill it is very difficult. I am afraid it will break and it does not hold too much paper.

I used a glue stick, which worked okay. I did not feel like it was reliable though, so I usually put some tape on the edges as well. I would not use elmer's unless you have a way to spread it thinly, since it could make the paper wet and wrinkly.

I didn't have a problem with it - I just used my fingernail to peel up the light-colored paper backing, exposing the shiny black adhesive backing of the felt strip. You could try with the edge of a sharp knife (carefully), like an exacto knife.

Did you have any of the mylar shims with it? Like thin sheets of plastic? If so, start adding those to the sandwich and see if it improves. If you don't have them, try copy paper- adding a sheet at a time until it cuts all the way through. Thats all the problem is, the sandwich isn't quite thick enough. remember to add shims one at a time until you get a good cut- you don't want to force something too thick through your machine.When you have the cut right, you can see if you could swap plates- taking out a thinner one and replacing it with a thicker one. Its really trial & error- no two machines will use exactly the same pressure, so what works for one person may not work for someone else. Sometimes, placing the die and chipboard on a different area of the platform, or facing a different way can help too. Hope this helps.
