Heat Transfer vinyl, Adhesive vinyl, cardstock, other things.
Put the material on cutting mat and load into the printer.
Manufacturer recomendations for mat choice (we have all 3): The standard grip mat is for sticker paper, transfer paper, vinyl, pearl paper, cardboard, etc. The light grip mat is suitable for lightweight cardboard, and materials like kraft paper and vinyl. The strong grip mat is for cardstock, glitter paper, and more.
There are some tools as well like a weeding tool and others.
The printer has bluetooth and it connects with the proprietary software (there's open source plugin for inkscape but undocumented here).
The touchscreen is kind of broken but repeated touching to make it load the mat works and the rest can be done from the software.
We have a few autocutters and some ratchet tools (Untested).
