 The Sakura Quickie glue pens work well in the Zing. They will fit into the Zing Pen Holder, as well as directly
into the blade holder seat (if alignment with cutting isn’t needed).
 The open path fonts available in MTC should work well for drawing as they provide single drawn lines and
curves versus an outline form. Refer to Section 5.11.

Adjusting for the Difference in Diameters of Tools and Blade Holders

The following method was first presented by Bryan Williams in an MTC Forum webinar. Diane Hiscoe made the
video above, using Bryan’s method and inspired me to create the following tutorial. Thanks, Diane!

 If you plan to use two tools with different diameters, then you will face an alignment problem. In the following
example, two glasses and an inner circle will be drawn with a silver gel pen and then the outside circle cut
out.

 Because the gel pen is thin, it sits further back in the blade holder seat than the blade holder. With no
adjustments made, the resulting drawn image and cut circle are out of alignment:

 However, there is a straight-forward method one can use to compensate for tools with different diameters.
This method involves adding a rectangle, within MTC, around the shapes. This rectangle will be drawn with
the pen and then the corners will be used as registration marks for a print and cut process:

The red line is the cut line. The
other lines will be drawn with

This rectangle should be on
its own layer.
