It doesn’t have the range to cover a full 3x5 card but it’s super fast on paper at likely under 60 seconds per card.

11.Is this machine ideal for die-cutting printed 8.5 x 11 papers?

A die cutter utilizes a shaped “die” to cut/punch through the intended substrate. This is a laser that cuts/burns through the substrate. The LP1 is limited to burning a maximum size of 100mm X 100mm in size. Size, and the amount of detail in your image will play a part in how long it takes to finish the burn. A large image with lots of detail can take 20 minutes or longer to burn, where as a die cutter punches through the substrate in a single step

12.Is the laser "bulb" replaceable?

We wouldn't imagine it would be. However if there is any need of repairs, I would get a hold of laserpecker themselves. This is a very small compact laser and it didn't come with any instructions for how to change anything out on it. The instructions are all about how to use it.
