Cropping Tools

Can any of the cropping tools be sharpened? All of the cropping tools were developed using high-quality materials; however, over time the blades will become dull and require replacement.
About how many cuts will the Creative Memories cropping tools make? The typical number of cuts each tool will make depends on the type of paper and the frequency of use. The following are our estimates for the number of cuts each cutting tool will make before needing to be replaced.

What is the best way to use the Personal Trimmer? To make a clean cut, lift the cutting arm and slide your paper or photo to the top of the trimmer. Make sure your paper or photo slides under the blue safety guard. Apply equal pressure with your fingertips across the safety guard. With a slight inward pressure, lower the cutting arm straight down until you’ve completed your cut. Following these steps will give you a clean, crisp edge.
My Custom Cutting System Mat is warped. Is there any way to flatten it? No. Flattening the mat may damage the product. The Custom Cutting System Mat may become warped if exposed to high temperatures. If your mat becomes warped, we recommend purchasing a replacement mat through your Creative Memories Consultant.
