Thankyou from Sunshine Coast Australia for taking *your time* to help others. Always remember that thumbs down people are usually those who would never do a vid to help anyone anyway. Cheers mate. 👍

This was just what I needed to get started myself. Thank you so much!

Thank--you! Very informative. You laid it out methodically in a way that could be easily understood.

Thanks for the video. We're trying to decide what kind of cutter we need. We were already leaning towards US Cutter. You've given us some points to consider that we hadn't thought of.

Very well done. Useful information, without a lot of fluff. Thank you!!

AWESOME VIDEO! i couldn't find out how to cut my vinyl in the right spot i wanted without wasting ALL my vinyl space. Thank you soooo much!

Thanks man I’m subscribing you’ve taught me more than five minutes in the manuals and everybody else did with super simple descriptions at least now I have somewhere to start thanks again

Awesome video! It was cool to watch the process.

Killer video ... everything you need to know to understand it and how it works .. at perfect speed. At first I had to back away from the screen, but your expressions helped convey the idea - glad to see them up close. Great energy as well - your a cool dude - thanks for posting.

Cool stuff man, appreciate the info.

Great way to learn very clear and to the point! Thanks a lot

Thank you for this. I am looking at buying a plotter to make vinyl stencils for my decorating business and am not at all techie so this has taken away some of the fear.

Very straight forward tutorial.Thanks!

Vinyl has completely taken over for me. I use the FDC 4200 series 5 year calendared, or thermoflex plus and glitter flex for heat transfer stuff. Also researching some dye sub printers.

+Airbrushing Tips yup... So much easier for projects. And with all the new cool types of vinyl there's so much cool stuff to do.

Thank you. This video helped me so much.

I sure wish you taught classes, I just purchased a US Cutter 32in. and could use some tips for sure. Thanks for your videos!

Great video, great info. Thanks

sick training, thank you!

This guy's videos got me started cutting 8 or 9 years ago. I'm pretty sure he does airbrushing also. I started with a uscutter MH series, I don't recommend. Static was a major issue. The SC has been fine. I jumped to same laser point as this video. It's awesome. The best part of having a plotter, is making stickers to put on other people's cars. That they didn't want. Lol

I'm thinking about getting a vinyl cutter to so I can supplement my graphic design business. Lots of great info. Thank you.

LOOKING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN MAKE ME GRAPHIC DESIGNS sorry about the caps lock, do you do graphic design on side?

Shot bud ! Thanks for the info and your time .

thank you for explaining how to use a smaller piece, all the other videos only showed a full sheet and for me, I'll only need it for mostly small projects. You explain i well for us beginners!!! Subscribing for sure.

Nice Tutorial. I'm going to make my own Decals for my own company vehicles. I used to buy them at our local Farmer's Market and put them on myself. Now I'm going to make my own Decals and put them on myself.

Good video. We use a Roland GX 24 in our sign shop You just set the origin at the bottom left. You can move the pinch rollers as close together as your vinyl is narrow no matter how small. Saves having the crafter type step of laying the vinyl on a cutting mat . Nice work Good luck with your projects dude.

Good video, well explained. Thanks,

*Love your video!!* Thank you for sharing

This is an extremely helpful introduction to vinyl cutting. Already have mine just need to bust it out and start trying some stuff. Also liked how you showed what software you use to create your designs. Just need to get more acquainted with the software for both the cutter and the design software.

Used to use this stuff to cover my school books 40 years ago, was always known as sticky back plastic

This was great! I'm about to purchase my first vinyl cutter and this helped a lot.

Dorjedriftwood,I remove the waxpaper and just rub on it by hand until it deals less sticky- also just squeeze enough on edges- I painted lowrider of year 1998,99

Thanks for the help..!! 👍🏽

I have a small craft cutter, a Silhouette (actually I also have a larger Cricut that I got at an estate sale that I canNOT get to work with my laptop), and this is giving me a lot of ideas. I always think of vinyl cutters as the large, plotter-size machines, not like the little thing I use to cut paper and sometimes fabric. Duh. Suddenly, my motorcycle is going to get a lot more interesting. :)

On your small design example I found that it is better to use a full piece of vinyl so that it hits all the rollers. The only difference Is I draw a border around the design on the computer so that it cuts an even box and doesn't waste vinyl. The problem with using a mat material, like in your example, is it makes the depth of the material to be cut thicker and you have to adjust your blade.

Very Cool, Thanks

Awesome video!!!

@@Commandodesigns No worries, really enjoyed learning what you have to teach... I'm curious in how color graphics are printed and cut, an example being motocross bike graphic kits... I don't get how they can be printed and then cut out with a vinyl cutter so precisely, is this something you could / or have covered? Cheers.

@Commandodesigns

The professionals use printers(plotters) that are designed to print on white vinyl. Then they place the printed sheets into a lamination machine that adds a sheet of clear UV protectant film. Then they feed the laminated designs into a big vinyl cutter. They line up the cuts using small marks called registrations marks that are printed into or on the outside of the design. That's why real vinyl graphics are so expensive. They're time consuming and labor intensive to make. Hope this helps.

@@Commandodesigns Ok sounds interesting, I've decided to go ahead and buy a vinyl cutter specifically to cut vintage number plate backgrounds that's what I want to start with, these would be just one color like Matt black mostly.... so if I trace out the number plate how do I convert that or Vectorize it into the computer program? If i'm asking to many questions feel free to tell me to bugger off....if you didn't live so far away I'd employ you as a consultant for sure. cheers

@@thumpernats No problem... I'm glad to help if I can. If you're not in the market for vector software yet I would suggest Inkscape. It's awesome/free. Here is a link to a great article on how to vectorise in Inkscape: goinkscape.com/how-to-vectorize-in-inkscape/

Your blade looks fine. It's your pressure sensitivity that needs turned up, or "force" if you will.

This cutter with the red sides looks identical to mine .but mine doesn't have red ends but can take a 135cm wide roll and has the stand with rollers to hold the roll. good video cheers for some more info. its a cool tool i love mine. 😁

great vid man

CUTTERS ARE ON EBAY

Can you do a video on how to make mylar multilayer airbrush stencils using a vinyl cutter?

Great video... if you were going to apply your vinyl to a "3D" shape (meaning an item with dimension), how would you suggest setting up the file? Would you recommend adding a large enough stroke almost like a bleed to the flat shape? Are there specific ways to set the file up?

I bought my 24" us cutter the laser one like a while ago, i stopped using it because the software expired and after that I didnt look to renew or buy another one, but that wasnt the main issue, the biggest issue for me was getting to know the program, how to do this or that, I didnt really have anyone to help get familiarized with the program so i really couldnt do much but text decals.

When he said "that's clutch" 😂😂

THank you

Thanks

You are not able to set the home point of the blade? This would allow the user to designate the start point of the cutter. For smaller formats you can start near the center of the cutter and not always at the default start point. When the job is finished or the machine is restarted, the blade would go back to the default home or start point.

I would recommend this to anyone

Amazingly! :D

For a small image like this can you repeat it to get more out of one sheet

This makes me appreciate my much smaller, much cheaper Cameo. Seems like a lot more work making a small decal on such a large machine. And all that vinyl wasted has the spendthrift in me triggered! LOL Great video though!

i just bought this cutter (upgrade my roland Camm1) - this helped as i couldnt figure out how to get the paper to come down - just pull on it! brilliant! Do you know what device drivers i need? will it work with a mac?

Just what I have been looking for, in order to make control panel text and graphics for my projects

Hi Tony, love your videos I an now starting my t shirt and promotional printing products I do sublimation at the moment I want to start the vinyl thanks for the tip in the direction to the vinyl cutters. Can you do a colour print on htv and have it cut on the vinyl cutter? Thank you Toronto Canada

Had me at "Shiny-sticker-paper-stuff"

just starting on the vinyl cutting The video was very helpful. Can you print on vinyl with a pgment base ink printer ?

Are the two vinyl cutters you have in your description your top recommendations even in Summer 2019? Your video is one of the few on KZread that gives me confidence you know what you're talking about, but this video is a year and a half old, so I was curious if anything else came out that you would recommend. I'm working with $300-400. I'm more in-tune with the PC tech space and how much content and high quality reviews there is out there for that space, so trying to find vinyl cutter related videos, especially ones that are as detailed and informative as yours, were pretty hard to come by. Thanks in advance!

First off your budget is good for a very high quality cutter. Check out US Cutter (notice no affiliate or clickbate link) , they are really good. Even their generic cutters they back up with thier customer service. They are my go to.

We do an extensive amount of mirror etchings. The 531 is a thinner vynil, but for your application, I would highly recommend that or possibly GreenStar Intermediate which is much cheaper in price.

can you tell me what are the easiest free or super cheap ways to get customers? what works best for you? do you do this as your full time gig or as a side thing?

hey man where do yo buy all ur supplies at for example the transfer clear paper ?

Cool

The vinyl cutter operates more like a plotter which moves the substrate back and forth whereas a printer only moves the material in one direction.

Do you know what type of cutter can make vinyl floor tiles with a sticky back?

Hi Iam from India.I want to start this vinyl stickering and wrapping for bikes and cars.Would you plz recommend a budget friendly good quality vinyl cutter and vinyl rollers.

which model US Cutter are you using in the video?

nice video, i often have issues with the paper rolling backwards on using single sheet vinyl and i notice when you started to cut your cutter just cut and the bar didnt roll, how do you set your cutter to just start cutting with rolling forward or backwards first?

Thank you for this bro... I’m starting a clothing brand and I have my logo and I just bought a 14” cutter printer just for start up... is the process the same but just by adding heat..? Also can you do two logos at one time?

awesome - I am a beginner, thanks a lot- palm springs , calif-

I love this video Can i print on a vinyl

what model uscutter do you have? the red one

How do you make multi colored decals?

I have a vector 53 in cutter plotter. And I just got it and I have no idea how to use the software.

Which size vinyl cutter do you recommend is best for just clothing t-shirts hoodies etc?

so this is different vinyl than heat transfer vinyl right?

Hi...im new to vinyl cutters just bought one on ebay...ive seen people use contact paper as transfer paper...how much does transfer paper cost per sq ft so i can compare Price.....

Where can we find transfer paper? Is it same as a cello tape??

Is it possible to use different cutter software? Or do you have to use a vendor specific software?

This is a GREAT video - thanks for posting. I found that both the vinyl cutters you suggested don't work with MAC - are there any that do? I'd like to get involved with this, but have 2 MACs, getting another computer or laptop would significantly increase the hobby startup.
