Default Does anyone know of a good way to transfer a paper pattern

When we did this it was taped to the side of a machine - vertical surface.

Hi - Erine when I have tried to cut through a paper template with my
Hypertherm power max 600 it set the paper on fire big time. What is your
method so this doesn't happen?

suggestions. Thank you in advance.

I do this all the time.
I print out sheet metal plans on my E size pen plotter and use spray
adhesive to bond it directly to the metal.

Cut through both paper and metal with the plasma cutter.
Spritz the pieces with some acetone to lift off the paper and adhesive.
