I'm a big fan on communication and time spent. That was great especially on Contour Cutting. Most straight forward understandable tutorial on something that's been overly-explained into the realm of complication. After viewing this video on Vinyl Master I'm thinking on getting it. It seems making work much easier, minimizing learning curves and spending time that really counts in a sign business and that is productivity, meeting deadlines and onto the bank.. Yes great seminar Thanks!
All I can say is "Thank You!" I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I was able to follow you without a problem and learned a TON of new information for my new machine. Again...Thanks So Much!!! P.S. You're funny as heck!
Amazing tutorial!!! Muchas gracias!! Man you did an amazing job with this tutorial!!! My first time using Vinylmaster and this tutorial helped me tremendously!! Thankx!!!!
I was paying for the upgraded version but since I have Adobe I found myself doing all my work there and then sending it to the cutter software. Since I own the adobe it did not make sense
i have a question please .. about the ducker. does the printer have to be a laser printer? or doesn’t matter which printer? and maybe they'll make other videos on how and what fabrics can be cut with the cutter
I really enjoyed this video! One thing I’ve been trying to find out about in the program is the offset. Mine came pre set at .030 or .30 or something like that. What does it need to be set at? I have a mh mk 871 and I use orical 651 and easyweed. Thanks!
Blade offset is a measurement of how far the tip of the blade is from the center of the blade. For example, the pen tool would have a blade offset of 0 since the tip of a pen as directly on center. The blade is cut on an angle, so the tip of your 45 degree blade is .30 mm from the center. For pen tool your blade offset should be set to 0 and for 45 degree blade and 60 degree blade your blade offset should be set to .30
Can you make water slide decals with this program and will it measure in mm? I am currently using coreldraw and it crashes all the time so I am looking for an alternative program that works better I have been fighting with it for a year and I’m just tired of the battle of trying to do projects that take 10 times longer when it’s crashing all the time
You can create custom color palettes in VinylMaster or you can use the eye-dropper tool to click on a Siser color on a webpage to set it as your current color, but you cannot import the entire Siser color palette in one go. Is there a place on the Siser site where the color RGB values are available in a format that could be imported to any other software? If so, we can ask the developers of VinylMaster to work on an import method in a future software release.
I used this program for years and decided to look into an upgrade. With zero issues in the past... once I declined that upgrade it has continually crashed and is now basically useless. You decide what happened, and choose wisely when trusting any company these days.
Thank you so much for all the helpful info. Question.. You were using a cutting mat for a 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. How small of paper/ vinyl can be used without a cutting mat or does that depend on the cutter? I will be using 11 to 13 inch printable transfer paper. Wondering if I need to purchase a mat. Thanks
Use of a cutting mat is mostly dependent on how thin that material is you are trying to cut and whether or not that material has a backing layer that will not be cut. If you are cutting all the way through the transfer paper, you will likely need a cutting mat or a carrier sheet. These can be found at: www.uscutter.com/Vinyl-Cutter-Carrier-Sheets
How can I set the exact position of the slide in the program? If I put the foil in the middle of the plotter and 6 cm to the left, where there is no foil and 8 cm to the right, where there is no foil, how does that recognize the plotter? And how can I determine exactly where on the slide the plotter should start, left, right, center, bottom or top?
Hi I have the KI-720 CUTTER. All my connection as shown in the Cutter Manual. The software installed as instructed. My ISSUE is, the cutter is not receiving my files to cut them. The USB COM matches the same as in the Device Management COM. i need help! Anyone Please.
Having trouble welding a specificpiece in a number I need to cut. Each time I select the items I want to weld it does something I don't want it to do. Is there anyway I could get some help with that? Thanks
Crazy question, I have the Vevor 34" plotter and it comes with Sign Master. Is it the same kind of software as vinyl master? Like can I learn Sign master with your tutorials? Just FYI I haven't set the plotter or software up yet, it's kinda intimidating lol
Hi. Very helpful video and ok my question is..where can i find a mat like the one you used for cutting the small sheets like you did the stickers? Thank you
Watched so many vids...still my send to cutter button is grayed out..device have been installed so have software..test run was successful I see it works..just not allowing me to actually send my image to cut
Make sure you have the image selected. It wont show unless you have the image selected. If you have it selected and it still doesn't have the vectorize button on it you may already have the image vectorized or you have multiple objects selected and one of them is vectorized and the other is not.
Question My question is If I give job to machine for cutting how ca I increase the copies of current job. But I want to increase copies in verical down not in horizontal .please guide me
Hello, Wondering if you would be willing to try and answer a few questions I have about Vinyl Master. I just downloaded it yesterday after running into a compatibility issue with cutting master 4 and my new version of illustrator. Thanks
One huge difference is that the USCutter version of VinylMaster CUT (entry level software) has a vectorizer. That on its own makes it much more compelling. There are also differences in the drivers and the UI that are optimized for select cutters.
Thank you for this helpful video however i have had my cutter for maybe 2 years and have not been able to figure out how to contour cut. I have uscutter SC25. please help.
Does your cutter say SC or SC2 on it? The SC2 can perform manual contour cutting (but not ARMS automatic contour cutting). You can contact our support teams and they can step you through the process. Support: 1-425-481-3555 M-F 7:30-11:30am, 12:30-4pm PST or support@uscutter.com

Exactly, He had to talk too fast to keep up, but it was clear and precise and the videos can be stopped and started to take notes. The more I listened, the more I was convinced that this whole program is nearly identical to my CorelDRAW programs and that is a bonus for learning. I have been using Corel since it's early days of 89. I outlived my Roland GX-24 and upgraded to the 34" cutter MH 871-MK2 downgrade, but I don't need all the bells and whistles. What I do want is the 32" wide cuts x 8' long, which will be great for banners and billboards. I don't cut stencils for silk screening any more because digital wiped me out and can no way compete for real estate and political jobs.
I am having problems as the start and stop points of the cutting not cutting it all the way. is there a setting to make it go over that spot a little bit more.?
That doesn't have anything to do with Vinyl Master, but is related to your blade and machine. I would just replace my blade and adjust your blade depth to see if that fixes it. If it doesn't it may be something with the machine and you will want to contact support.
I have a very important question, so I peeled and threw away part of my vinyl project only to discover that it was the wrong part, I was supposed to weed the oppitoste of it. is there anyway I can cut just a certain part of a vinyl project at the he exact same measurements as to not waste the rest of this perfectly good vinyl that I already weeded otherwise perfectly. I couldn't find the answer to my question anywhere.
If it has enough unused vinyl for you to perform another cut and is still attached to the backer then you should be able to cut it with no issue. If its a smaller scrap, you may want to try putting it on a carrier sheet and then running it through the vinyl cutter. Link to the carrier sheet - uscutter.com/shop/?x=0&y=0&search_query=carrier+sheet
All vinyl cutters rely on the file being a vector format. Create what every you want to write and then convert it as an .SVG The font will have to be something special that is just a single stroke.
@@uscuttervideos thx for quick answer. Is it possible to have a only 1 pixel withd vector line for drawing like a pen? I find a very good online vector converter in the meanwhile
@@Electro-sportDe Its the pen tool in Vinyl Master that does this. It may be that you just have to create your own letters with this tool and then copy and paste them however you need them. Vinyl Master also vectorizes everything.
.SVG is the type of image needed. Vinyl master can vectorize most image types, but i try to stick with .PNG files. Watch the Quick cuts video here to see how ruclips.net/video/P88qnvfWhbA/видео.html

Is there a way in this software to select different outlines in the same file and set different cut pressures for each line. Trying to trick it into doing a kiss cut then a full cut through on the backing on the other line. End goal is to do a cut out square, all way through backing. Then I want to cut a hole out at the top to create a hang tag hole. I want a ready to go peelable vinyl decal. Gcc ar24, I have no reg mark reader. Just want these cuts done on the first pass if you can understand what I'm saying.
Different outlines in the same file are easy (Tools bar down the right hand side can set solid or dotted lines) but there is no way to set a different pressure for each line. Most people would need to step up to a cutter that supports registration marks such as the Laserpoint3 and then cut as two separate files.
@@uscuttervideos yeah, I'm aware of that. I have the gcc Ar24. Wasn't smart enough to know all that in the beginning. Just seems like an easy software setting to set a red color to a line and apply pressure settings, then set another line color as blue and set a different pressure. I use Greats Cuts
@@regularguyfixes3142 I am not on the sales team, but if ever there were a time to get a Laserpoint3 it is now, since during Mar 2020 the price is slashed and there is also a coupon code for your entire order if you look at the USCutter home page banner this week. www.uscutter.com/LaserPoint-3-Vinyl-Cutter-ARMS-Contour-Cut
Have you vectorized your image? Once it's vectorized, you then want to ungroup everything. If it is a tiny piece that is separate from everything then you should be able to delete it. If it is attached to a larger object, then use the node edit tool and delete some nodes and move them around until you are happy.
The Titan1 does not have the required sensor to read registration marks. Most any kind of paper that you can print on will work. You should be looking at a Titan3, Laserpoint3 or PrismCut. Many people are finding the PrismCut to be ideal for this type of work: www.uscutter.com/P28-PrismCut-Vinyl-Cutter-with-WiFi-Design-Cut-Software

What type of printer is used to make the decals? I have a US Cutter, would that scan the contour guides to be able to contour cut decals like in the video if I had the correct print?
You can use most any kind of printer, including desktop laser printers and desktop inkjet printers to make decals (within the physical size limits of the printer). VinylMaster software is used to add the registration marks that the cutter understands. The only other thing to consider is that the printable vinyl will be bale to feed through your printer if using a sheet fed desktop printer. In the video the printable vinyl was created on a wide format printer as is typically used in a professional sign shop. In terms of the cutter, not all cutters are contour cut capable - the cutter needs to have an optical sensor that can see the registration marks. Not all cutters have this sensor so you would have to check the capabilities of the specific model you.
You just need to add another cutter. You can do that in the Vinyl Spooler. I talk a little fast in this older video, but it shows the process - ruclips.net/video/41GOzk6X7Ng/видео.html

I have been doing research and watching tons of vids to learn how to cut a decal in two pieces using vinyl master........( a decal when complete is 3 ft square)... Please help !
If the decal has two pieces that fit together you would have to think about how the two pieces fit together - either a straight line down the middle, or maybe try to hide the seam by cutting along lines in the design near the middle. If you want to achieve tiling (split design into 2 or more pieces) you should upgrade to VinylMaster PRO. You can watch a video that explains tiling in PRO at this link: ruclips.net/video/E0FIN1ln1yU/видео.html
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to "split" a vector shape. For example, say I have just a long thin rectangle that I am using to underline text. I cannot figure out how to split that shape into two separate lines. My workaround has been to put a white (invisible) shape over the line and then screenshotting the split line and re-vectorizing the screenshot. Any help with this would save me hours and hours.
To underline, why not just use a polyline instead? On the left hand side of your screen you will see a tool that looks like a pen. Click on the lower right hand corner of the pen too to see three options (freehand/curve/polyline). Select polyline and then click at the start and end points of where you want to draw your line. Click the select arrow at the top of the same toolbar where you say the pen tool to stop adding more line segments to your polyline. There is also a DONE button in the same upper left area to stop adding line segments. Hope this helps.
Question. Will this program and machine work in South Africa. Stupid question but I had things brought in to South Africa only to find out the it does not work in my country.
I do not see why the program would not work worldwide. You must be experiencing some other problem specific to your country, most likely a driver issue related to your specific cutter. USCutter supports cutters purchased from us in the USA but we do not have any formal support for the rest of the world. Depending on your issue, you could try first the USB port and then the serial port to see if one works when the other does not.
You would use the Sure Cuts A Lot software and can use any cutter we offer except the MH. The MH cutter does not currently work with Mac no matter what software you use.
You can import .svg .ai .jpg .png .psd .pdf .eps and more. When importing a file you just need to add the file to the design are with a click to maintain a 1:1 ratio (or you can also easily resize the image by pulling one of the corners)
Unfortunately, the program does not have any means of automatically calculating how much vinyl you will need. A possible workaround may be to use the auto-arrange capability to re-position same color segments for maximum cutting efficiency and then manually calculate the area used by looking at the height and width numbers displayed.
hi , i wanna ask, my cutting plotter , always cut vinyl with no 100% accuacy,. example , if i cut a square box, its always cut a corner with no 90 degree precision. its alwasy look like a circle. do you have any solutions? thanks
One possible cause of your issue is that your blade offset is not set correctly. Page 27 of the MH user manual (link below) shows and example of rounded corners issue. In VinylMaster software you can set the blade offset to as value of 0.35 mm for a 45 degree blade. In VinylMaster when you send a job to be cut a window will open and at the top you will see three tabs - general/cutter_control/settings. Under the cutter_control tab you will be able to c heck the box to enable blade offset and adjust the offset value. Hope this helps. www.uscutter.com/static/PDFs/MH_Manual_06152016.pdf
You will need your USCutter provided PSN (Product Serial Number for the software) that came on the card when you purchased your SC2. Download the USCutter version of VinylMaster software again from the following link and select SC2 as the desired cutter during install: fcws1.com/info/vmlinks.php
Not sure I understand the question here, but you can certainly layer vinyl by creating different sizes of outlines around text. VinylMaster can easily do what you are asking if I understand your question.

Blade offset is a measurement of how far the tip of the blade is from the center of the blade. For example, the pen tool would have a blade offset of 0 since the tip of a pen as directly on center. The blade is cut on an angle, so the tip of your 45 degree blade is .30 mm from the center. For pen tool your blade offset should be set to 0 and for 45 degree blade and 60 degree blade your blade offset should be set to .30
thank you this has helped me with the program very much appreciated

Different outlines in the same file are easy (Tools bar down the right hand side can set solid or dotted lines) but there is no way to set a different pressure for each line. Most people would need to step up to a cutter that supports registration marks such as the Laserpoint3 and then cut as two separate files.
@@uscuttervideos yeah, I'm aware of that. I have the gcc Ar24. Wasn't smart enough to know all that in the beginning. Just seems like an easy software setting to set a red color to a line and apply pressure settings, then set another line color as blue and set a different pressure. I use Greats Cuts
@@regularguyfixes3142 I am not on the sales team, but if ever there were a time to get a Laserpoint3 it is now, since during Mar 2020 the price is slashed and there is also a coupon code for your entire order if you look at the USCutter home page banner this week. www.uscutter.com/LaserPoint-3-Vinyl-Cutter-ARMS-Contour-Cut
I can't figure out how to erase something. I have a design and there is a tiny piece i dont want on it, but can't figure out how to erase anything
Have you vectorized your image? Once it's vectorized, you then want to ungroup everything. If it is a tiny piece that is separate from everything then you should be able to delete it. If it is attached to a larger object, then use the node edit tool and delete some nodes and move them around until you are happy.
Can I contour cut images and decals if I have a Titan 1 cutting?? What contour printer and kind of paper do I need?
The Titan1 does not have the required sensor to read registration marks. Most any kind of paper that you can print on will work. You should be looking at a Titan3, Laserpoint3 or PrismCut. Many people are finding the PrismCut to be ideal for this type of work: www.uscutter.com/P28-PrismCut-Vinyl-Cutter-with-WiFi-Design-Cut-Software

Hi,
can I use the VinylMaster Cut with my Liyu SC631, please?
Not sure on this one. Best bet is to contact our support team to see if they have an answer for you. Sales & Support: 1-425-481-3555 M-F 7:30-11:30am, 12:30-4pm PST
Did you find out if it does work with the Liyu? Thanks
Does the vinyl master cut have the vectorizing, or is that with the LTR and more expensive software?
It is included with the basic Cut version from USCutter.com
USCutter Videos thank you I figured it out
I cant seem to find the vectorizer tool on my software, is the vectorizer not available on the Cut Basic ED?
It is, you probably have an image selected that is already vectorized.
What type of printer is used to make the decals? I have a US Cutter, would that scan the contour guides to be able to contour cut decals like in the video if I had the correct print?
You can use most any kind of printer, including desktop laser printers and desktop inkjet printers to make decals (within the physical size limits of the printer). VinylMaster software is used to add the registration marks that the cutter understands. The only other thing to consider is that the printable vinyl will be bale to feed through your printer if using a sheet fed desktop printer. In the video the printable vinyl was created on a wide format printer as is typically used in a professional sign shop. In terms of the cutter, not all cutters are contour cut capable - the cutter needs to have an optical sensor that can see the registration marks. Not all cutters have this sensor so you would have to check the capabilities of the specific model you.
is there a way to change the cutter model number? When setting up my software I messed up and did the wrong model number. Any help please.
You just need to add another cutter. You can do that in the Vinyl Spooler. I talk a little fast in this older video, but it shows the process - ruclips.net/video/41GOzk6X7Ng/видео.html
Thank you very informative

helllo I'm having problems with sending my stuff to the cutter and having it vectorized. I have the DSR version
I have been doing research and watching tons of vids to learn how to cut a decal in two pieces using vinyl master........( a decal when complete is 3 ft square)...
Please help !
If the decal has two pieces that fit together you would have to think about how the two pieces fit together - either a straight line down the middle, or maybe try to hide the seam by cutting along lines in the design near the middle. If you want to achieve tiling (split design into 2 or more pieces) you should upgrade to VinylMaster PRO. You can watch a video that explains tiling in PRO at this link: ruclips.net/video/E0FIN1ln1yU/видео.html
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to "split" a vector shape. For example, say I have just a long thin rectangle that I am using to underline text. I cannot figure out how to split that shape into two separate lines. My workaround has been to put a white (invisible) shape over the line and then screenshotting the split line and re-vectorizing the screenshot. Any help with this would save me hours and hours.
To underline, why not just use a polyline instead? On the left hand side of your screen you will see a tool that looks like a pen. Click on the lower right hand corner of the pen too to see three options (freehand/curve/polyline). Select polyline and then click at the start and end points of where you want to draw your line. Click the select arrow at the top of the same toolbar where you say the pen tool to stop adding more line segments to your polyline. There is also a DONE button in the same upper left area to stop adding line segments. Hope this helps.
Question. Will this program and machine work in South Africa. Stupid question but I had things brought in to South Africa only to find out the it does not work in my country.
I do not see why the program would not work worldwide. You must be experiencing some other problem specific to your country, most likely a driver issue related to your specific cutter. USCutter supports cutters purchased from us in the USA but we do not have any formal support for the rest of the world. Depending on your issue, you could try first the USB port and then the serial port to see if one works when the other does not.
redo = press CTRL+Y
what computer system is compatible with a vinyl cutter I have a mini Mac and it doesn't work with my cutter
You would use the Sure Cuts A Lot software and can use any cutter we offer except the MH. The MH cutter does not currently work with Mac no matter what software you use.
life saver!!!!
I just bought the v.4.2, but when I select my image I do not see the vectorize button...so where do I find it.
Depends on what format the image is. If you are editing a .SVG file it is already vectorized so you won't get the vectorize option.
'What files can i import? Also which type of program that locks the outline of the image to the ratio 1:1?
You can import .svg .ai .jpg .png .psd .pdf .eps and more. When importing a file you just need to add the file to the design are with a click to maintain a 1:1 ratio (or you can also easily resize the image by pulling one of the corners)
How do you determine exactly how much vinyl per color to use on a job?
Unfortunately, the program does not have any means of automatically calculating how much vinyl you will need. A possible workaround may be to use the auto-arrange capability to re-position same color segments for maximum cutting efficiency and then manually calculate the area used by looking at the height and width numbers displayed.
my uscutter cuts twice and it ruins the vinyl , how do i fix that and where do i begin?
In the SEND TO BE CUT pop up you need to go to the Cutter Controls tab and set your machine to only make one pass.
Thanks , i already had it checked and it was the software update that was my solution
hay whats the name of this program and how can i have it
hi , i wanna ask, my cutting plotter , always cut vinyl with no 100% accuacy,. example , if i cut a square box, its always cut a corner with no 90 degree precision. its alwasy look like a circle. do you have any solutions? thanks
One possible cause of your issue is that your blade offset is not set correctly. Page 27 of the MH user manual (link below) shows and example of rounded corners issue. In VinylMaster software you can set the blade offset to as value of 0.35 mm for a 45 degree blade. In VinylMaster when you send a job to be cut a window will open and at the top you will see three tabs - general/cutter_control/settings. Under the cutter_control tab you will be able to c heck the box to enable blade offset and adjust the offset value. Hope this helps. www.uscutter.com/static/PDFs/MH_Manual_06152016.pdf
@@uscuttervideos will read it very soon. thanks for the reply mate.
thank you
In the program does not appear my plotter uscutter sc 28 ”?
You will need your USCutter provided PSN (Product Serial Number for the software) that came on the card when you purchased your SC2.
Download the USCutter version of VinylMaster software again from the following link and select SC2 as the desired cutter during install: fcws1.com/info/vmlinks.php
Can a cricut file be converted by this program?
If you can export the file as a .SVG or .PNG from the Cricut software. You could also always take a screenshot and vectorize that.
is the outline only on PRO SOftware?
You can contour cut and view the image outline/cut path in every version of Vinyl Master that we offer.
@@uscuttervideos right Found it thank you🙏🙏
So is creating an outline of a text perfect for layering vinyl???
Not sure I understand the question here, but you can certainly layer vinyl by creating different sizes of outlines around text. VinylMaster can easily do what you are asking if I understand your question.
thank you ! & yes that answered my question
It´s bad show fuctions from different versions av VM. It´s usless. Can´t follow.
