I think magmates are vinyl, if so, you can't cut them with your laser - or you shouldn't anyway. I have cut magnet material, but not magmates, and it didn't cut very cleanly but it cut.

I thought that MagMates was a laser engraving magnetic material that has a color cap.

The pic below is a set of signs that I made from magnetic sheet that I covered with black and white laser lights. I raster engraved the details and then vector cut the shapes. Note how much detail there was in the grass.

FWIW laser cutting magnetic sheet is a dirty and messy job. I put these in a sink and washed them to get them clean.

Conde sells a hardboard stock that is sublimatable and laser cuttable.

I use it for may thing that require color as well as non stock shapes or sizes.
It come on .125 thickness, a magnet can be attached to the back.
