C1 Auto Setting — The material comes with an auto-recognition QR code sticker. C1 reads the code and automatically applies the recommended cut settings, so you can start creating right away. You can also spot these materials by the C1 auto-recognition icon on the product image.

Manual Setting — The material works perfectly with the C1 too, but doesn't include a QR code, so you'll need to pick the settings yourself. It's simple: just select the material in the software and adjust as needed. 

xTool C1 works with a variety of materials, including sticker paper, cardstock, heat transfer paper, vinyl, magnet sheets, and more. All materials featured on this page are compatible with C1, so you can shop with confidence.

Every new xTool material made for C1 includes a QR label. Before it starts, C1 will scan the code and load the matching blade pressure, speed, and cut type for that material. You can still fine-tune any setting in xTool Studio.
