Thanks for this. I'm messing around with putting a cutter on one of my 3d printers to cut some vinyl for giggles. Always helpful to see how it's done by those who actually do it for a living.
Nice video. Helps give a perspective of not only layering, which I recently started to try, but it also shows me the Sure Cut software and the SC series cutters I am looking at. *thumbs up*
Thanks alot for this video. It helped me out alot. Was very useful because I also use u.s. cutter and sure cuts a lot software and oracal 651 vinyl. Been doing single colors for awhile and now ready to get into multiple colors. Great job, thanks again!
Great video. I'm thankful this is much easier with Graphtec plotter and Cutting Master 3 - just generate the registration marks directly in Adobe Illustrator and select the colour to cut in the Cutting Master plugin (layers imported from Illustrator). Also those plotters are loud!! Individual setting of push rollers adds more motions to every stock change. I'd also say you don't necessarily need to use clear app tape, which is more expensive. The opacity of paper tape from a good brand really isn't that bad.
Thanks for the video I’ve been looking for something like this to help me out with Shortcuts a lot also can you try to make another video on how to layer one color on top of the other thanks
How do u like that program... I use the other program for my cutter... thanks for doing this video I learned a lot from it... how do u cut straight lines after the application tape is on
I use oracal 651 as well. I just started recently and I was trying to figure out what transfer tape to use as well, so I googled it and found a forum talking about it, and many people recommend Greenstar transfer tape from UScutters. They say the clear and paper type work really good, but it is about $15 for a 6" x 100ft roll, and about $20 for a 12" x 100ft roll as well (they also have 100yard (300ft) rolls as well but they cost more. I just ordered the Greenstar transfer tape from UScutters website and the clear, and paper transfer tape works perfect with 651 and it also picks up the small details on decals that are about 2" H by 4" W, ease, just make sure you weed it properly, and you have your cutting depth, speed, and down force set properly.
Just an FYI or a heads up, I would not use the oracal transfer tape because it absolutely sucks at picking up the oracal 651 eventhough it is made by the same company.
I know this video has been posted for a while but hopefully you will get this post. Did you set up contour cutting? I have the same machine tried several times and not working. USCutter support was no help... thanks
The measurements are microscopic, so can't really give a number. The best way to dial it in is pull the blade out of the blade holder, adjust it to a depth, and while holding it in your hand, use it to draw a circle on a scrap sheet of vinyl. check to see if the circle can be removed from the sheet. If it doesnt cut all the way through, adjust the blade so it sticks out farther. Do the opposite if its to deep and some of the backing paper comes with it when you try to remove the circle. It's a little bit of trial and error. You can also play with the pressure setting on the machine.
any recommendations on which vinyl cutters are best for starters? I want to start making my own to sell but not sure which vinyl cutter and program to begin with 😩
natashally ares go to uscutter.com. Check out their SC cutter. Get the biggest one you can afford. You always want to go bigger than you think you'll need. For software, I use "sure cuts a lot pro". It came with the cutter and serves me well. Not sure what software they are shipping with them now.
But if you have a big decal, you will waste a lot of vinyl. In your case you would throw a lot of green finyl away because of the big rectangle arround it. I like this proces as well for the smaller decals. But I dont want to waste al that finyl. Does anyone have any tips for the larger decals?
hi just got my cutter, new to all this, but when i cut the vinyl out the rollers are leaving a mark on the vinyl from the knurled rollers. how muck pressure should i have them
You'll just have to play with the tensioners on the rollers a bit until you find the right amount of pressure. It the marks are pretty light, they will go away on their own from the vinyl after it sits for a little bit.
That looks like a whole lot of waste. Wouldn't it be less waste to do each word individually without the large empty space for the second color, and then use a ruler to line them up afterwards?
Generally sign makers don't give a shit about wasting PVC film. Bugs me too, and I'm a sign maker. What you could do is make/generate the registration marks just around the part in a different colour, and then cut about 80% less material. Then you could do it with just scraps.
I fell like he wasted so much cause he was doing a tutorial for everyone, i have a feeling he could do a whole sheet of these decals all at once and not waste nearly as much.
I have a pretty good eye for lining things up.. when you do it long enough you can just wing it... but I always measure twice after tacking it in place prior to applying it. I understand that a lot of people can't eye it though.
I was going to do a 5 inch design with 2 colors but after watching this fuck that, the profit isn't there for this and theres too many mistakes that can be made

Hey, what transfer tape do you use, I mainly use 651 as well but I'm always having trouble with the tape not being able to pull it off the paper.
I use oracal 651 as well. I just started recently and I was trying to figure out what transfer tape to use as well, so I googled it and found a forum talking about it, and many people recommend Greenstar transfer tape from UScutters.

How much would you charge for one 6.5x6.5 decal ? Easy words to weed? And how many would you charge for over 100 of the same one ?
What software is this? & can you make a video how to sync the software to the cutter machine? tnx
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
very helpful thank you.
I know this video has been posted for a while but hopefully you will get this post. Did you set up contour cutting? I have the same machine tried several times and not working. USCutter support was no help... thanks
Cheers for this video. Highly appreciated.
Question: Whats the measurement of the blade out of the holder? How do you set the level?
The measurements are microscopic, so can't really give a number. The best way to dial it in is pull the blade out of the blade holder, adjust it to a depth, and while holding it in your hand, use it to draw a circle on a scrap sheet of vinyl. check to see if the circle can be removed from the sheet.

It's a little bit of trial and error. You can also play with the pressure setting on the machine.
Half the thickness of a credit card roughly. if you go to far out its not good. if its not out enough though it makes weeding harder also
Is there a way to do this so that youre not wasting so much vinyl?
great video!!! do you like your cutter?
What type of vinyl is that
MH 751 vinyl
any recommendations on which vinyl cutters are best for starters? I want to start making my own to sell but not sure which vinyl cutter and program to begin with 😩

Can you use this same principle to do multicolour heat transfers do you know?
what software do you recommend? i bought my us cutter a while back, sold decals for a year, but now Im trying to get back in it
Great vid. Just a side opinion, I loved it when the O's were filled in.
But if you have a big decal, you will waste a lot of vinyl. In your case you would throw a lot of green finyl away because of the big rectangle arround it. I like this proces as well for the smaller decals. But I dont want to waste al that finyl. Does anyone have any tips for the larger decals?

How do you do the decals that have a printed portion? For example lets say i wanted to have the FOR have a computer printed graphic on it.
You'll need a printer. They are very expensive.
I'm new to this which machine would you recommend
What is the best distributor to purchase the ultra clear transfer tape through? In your honest opinion.......
Luis Neves I get everything through Uscutter.com. I've always dealt with them, so can't say anything about other companies.
Is the software flexi 8.1 free or paid.
Orelse which software do you recommend
i need help picking out a vinyl cutter. any ideas?
What if ur design is a logo like a circle with word on top and bottom, blue circle and white text
How do you instal the workforit decal
That looks like a whole lot of waste. Wouldn't it be less waste to do each word individually without the large empty space for the second color, and then use a ruler to line them up afterwards?

The chronically broke hobbyist in me squirmed at all that Vinyl he threw away....
I fell like he wasted so much cause he was doing a tutorial for everyone, i have a feeling he could do a whole sheet of these decals all at once and not waste nearly as much.
I have a pretty good eye for lining things up.. when you do it long enough you can just wing it... but I always measure twice after tacking it in place prior to applying it. I understand that a lot of people can't eye it though.
What type of transfer tape did you use?
Yes, what kind brand and tack was it?
I still do it old school cut straight out of AI, I haven't tried the cut by colour option though I am not sure if it is possible using AI.
