Using Vintaj
Blanks in the BIGkick
®
DecoEmboss and DecoEtch dies are designed for use
with Vintaj blanks. Other manufacturers' metal blanks
may cause damage or premature wear to both the dies
and the machine.
Making Your Vintaj Brand Dies Last
To extend the life of your Vintaj brand dies, avoid repeatedly
placing the blanks in the same location on the die. Regularly
moving the blank to different locations on the die will ensure even
wear and minimize die distortion.
Use Only Vintaj Branded Dies When Forming Metal Blanks
The DecoPress Machine is compatible with most Sizzix
die-cutting products; however, Sizzix dies should not be
used to cut or shape metal unless they are Vintaj dies
specifically designed for that purpose.
