Review on Replace And Upgrade With DOOHALO Cutting Mat For Cricut Joy Machine - 3 Pack Adhesive Mats In Vibrant Colors (Total 6 Mats), Variety Grip 4.5"X12 by Kevin Vanlaere

(Edit: I found that Cricut Design Space does not have a 4.5 X 6.5 mat preset and - at least on Mac - there is no way to add a custom mat option. So, I need to take into account that extra half-inch on either side of the mat to line up my prints properly. It's nothing I am going to change my review over, but I thought it was worth mentioning.)These mats are fantastic! I am using them with my Cricut Explore Air 2 machine and they work perfectly. I do a lot of custom drawing on small envelopes and I was getting tired of fumbling with the large 12"X12" mat that came with my machine. These 6.5"X4.5" mats save a lot of hassle and are the perfect size for smaller projects.I bought the "Variety Grip" option. I can confirm that the LightGrip mat has comparable adhesive to the Cricut brand LightGrip mats. I also tested out the StandardGrip and StrongGrip mats and I can confirm that they steadily increase in adhesiveness. The StrongGrip mat, in fact, was enough to tear the light paper that I tested on it upon removal.Honestly, if it weren't for the "DOOHALO" logos printed on the mats, I would have no way of knowing that these aren't genuine Cricut brand mats. I would absolutely recommend these mats to anyone who frequently works on smaller projects and would like smaller mats to work with.
