  VINYL CUTTERS

  · Creates lettering for use on models, packaging and presentation boards quickly and professionally.

· Good for application of simple logos or details to models and prototypes.

The steps used to apply a sticker made on the vinyl cutter are:

  WHY IS THE LOW TACK TRANSFER TAPE USED?

· It has less tack (stickiness) than the vinyl; this allows it to          remove the vinyl from the backing paper, but the higher tack    adhesive on the sticker keeps it in place once positioned on the item, leaving the sticker behind and allowing the transfer tape to be removed.

· It keeps the alignment and spacing of lettering and images      EXACTLY as cut.

· Its transparent, allowing you to see precisely where you are sticking it.

 

 

PROFILE CUTTERS

  · Great for manufacturing NETS with pre printed designs.

· The machine has a reader that automatically reads pre-printed registration marks, allowing your design to be cut out exactly.

· 2D Design Version2 automatically prints these registration marks, using the Profile Cutters software plug-in.
