## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this version hang on the wall?**
A: The Dahle 550 long metal edges are “folded” at 90 degrees which do leave a channel which could conceivably be used to hang the cutter, if one were so inclined. That being said, if one were considering hanging the cutter, it would be advisable to make sure the devices used to hang were mounted very securely into studs. Hope this helps.

**Q: I want to purchase this cutter to cut canvas from my epson printer. Can it do that?**
A: I have an Epson P5000 and print canvas. I recommend buying a good pair of shears, like these that I have: Gingher 8-Inch Knife Edge Dressmaker's Shears. You can print cut lines if necessary.

**Q: Do both axis have metric and imperial measurements on them?**
A: Yes, Both X and Y axes have imperial and metric scales

**Q: will this cut laminated (5mm film) cardstock?**
A: Hopefully your laminate is "5 mil", which is .005" thick (a "mil" is a thousandth of an inch) rather than 5mm. 

I have cut menus laminated with 5 mil hot laminate on this cutter. It works very well.

Why did I wait so long to purchase this cutter??!!! This cutter is amazing! I received it yesterday and used it this morning to prep orders for shipping. It’s amazing! I love it. It’s light weight. I thought it would be heavy to carry but it’s not. Super light but sturdy at the same time. Great construction. The cuts are beautiful; super crisp cuts.
