Cutting Out Finished Decals
Hi,
How does everyone cut out their finished vinyl decals (weeded and with application tape), so that they have an even boarder around the edge?
Can the plotter be used to do the above?
Thanks

do you mean through the backing carrying paper?

quote Robert Lambie:do you mean through the backing carrying paper?Yes, through application tape and backing paper.

depends on if you have used all the vinyl or you just create waste.
i.e.
4ft wide roll of vinyl.
cut a 12" by 12" logo at the bottom.you wouldnt just cut that out or you create waste due to the unused vinyl above it as it will no longer track in the machine as is.
in this instance you would lift the cut vinyl and re-mount onto fresh carrying paper which you can purchase or will have lots of if you have a laminator in house.

Cut mine on my keenkut.
I know someone who uses garment transfer film on the back of paper to cut shapes for keyrings etc.
If you cut through the backing as rob says the pinch rollers won’t have any media to track on, as it goes back and forward.
Maybe try a perforation cut? I’ve never had much success though.
