How sticky is your carrier sheet ??
Santa brought my Robo early and I was really excited to set it up last night (thanks for the fab tutorials Bev). The font cutting is fantastic but I can't get the darned paper off the carrier sheet once I've cut it, and I ended up ripping the beautiful letters trying to de-stick them.
Am I doing something wrong ?
I tried cutting the letters both face up and face down, on thin paper and stiff card, but it made little difference. Any help appreciated as I'm stuck

No The carrier sheet is very tacky to start with You have to be extra extra careful. It doesn't stay that tacky. I recently had to wash mine because it was not holding the paper at all. Are you cutting very fine lettering?. Try some chunkier ones to start?.

Please take my credit card away!!!!!!
That's a bummer, Teekay. It will get easier. A few more goes and you'll be able to lift them off quite easily.

Thanks for the info !
Ta for this - I was panicking a wee bit
You're right, the chunkier letters were a bit better. I'll persevere, this gadget is awsome !!

Hello !
Hi Angela, great to hear from you. As a newbie to scrapbooking I don't know anyone yet - hope to change that soon
I've been cutting out lots of exotic dingbats to show off the robo to family. ...Now wishing I hadn't gone so crazy on the celtic designs, there are tons of fiddly wee bits to pick off the carrier sheet now.
Gosh - just realised the time !! Who needs sleep when you have a Robo

I use my pricking tool to lift small stuff and letters/words off the carrier sheet and sometimes to lift corners of bigger shapes etc.

What's a pricking tool ??
..and where am I likely to get one ?
Sorry for being so thick, but this is all new to me

The guy from Graphtec who was demonstrating the CR at the NEC used a Stanley knife to lift things from the carrier sheet.
I've been cutting text (Merry Christmas, for cards) inside a rounded rectangle, lifting it off using Scotch Magic Tape, then taking off the negative in the same way. The edge still has to be lifted first, of course.
