Overview
A 13 inch by 5 foot roll of Cricut Smart Permanent Vinyl in matte black, cut without a mat on Cricut Maker and Explore machines. It is weather and fade resistant, aimed at outdoor decals and signage rather than indoor paper crafts.
Being a Smart material, it feeds and cuts directly from the roll, which is what allows a single continuous cut up to 12 feet even though the roll itself is 5 feet long: the machine pulls more material through rather than being limited by a mat. That matless design is the main reason to choose this over standard adhesive vinyl, since no mat means no size limit tied to a 12 by 12 or 12 by 24 inch mat. It only fits Cricut Maker and Explore machines built to run Smart Materials, so check the machine model before buying.
- 13in x 5ft roll, matte black
- No cutting mat required
- Continuous cuts up to 12 feet
- Weather and fade resistant
Who it's for
Suited to anyone cutting large decals, outdoor signs or car graphics on a compatible Cricut machine, where a mat would be the limiting factor. Not useful on Cricut machines that lack Smart Material support, since matless cutting is the point of buying this over ordinary vinyl.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Cuts up to 12 feet with no mat
- Weather and fade resistant matte finish
- Simplified bulk packaging keeps cost down
- Only works on Cricut machines with Smart Material support
- Matte black limits which designs it suits
Performance notes
The matless feed lets the machine pull material directly from the roll, so a single cut can run up to 12 feet, well past what any standard cutting mat allows. The matte black finish is described as weather and fade resistant, which points to outdoor use such as car decals and yard signs rather than delicate indoor paper crafts.
