Table 1
The values in the following tables are only provided as a guide and should not be used as specifications since variances within the same basis weight can occur due to the characteristics of the stock. In addition, similar weight stocks can vary between manufacturers.

Note: The cutter may able to cut heavier ticket stock than indicated, but it is recommended that cutting performance be verified by testing the cutter with the intended stock.

Table 2 shows the approximate media thickness in mils (thousands of an inch) relative to the metric weight for that media.
