How Do Cutting Plotters Work?
#1Start with a Graphic or Design
Getting graphics ready for cutting is easier than you may think!
Create custom graphics and designs using CoredlDraw, Photoshop, or Illustrator.
You also have the option to have something custom made by graphic design professionals at ColDesi Graphics.
This is a premium digitizing service that can help bring your design ideas to life so you don’t have to.
Order graphics and designs from scratch or fix up any art work you may already have.
Then once you have an art file ready to go, you can send it to your Graphtec cutter.
#2Send it to the Graphtec Cutter
Sending a print and cut ready file to your Graphtec cutter takes just a few seconds. By using Graphtec Studio software, you can load your design, make any changes if necessary and send it straight to your cutter.
This software offers tons of different cutting/plotting options like centering, mirroring, over cuts and much more. Plus, it accepts a wide variety of file types.
As long as the cutter is plugged into your computer, using the USB port, then you are ready to go!
#3Heat apply it to your substrate
A heat press is a commercial machine or iron that combines heat and pressure to apply transfers to a substrate or blank. There are plenty of different style heat presses like clamshell, swing-away, and even cap or mug presses!
A substrate is just another word for the object you are printing on. So, for example a substrate can be a t-shirt, mug, coaster, tote bag, and much more.
With heat transfer vinyl, you can pretty much apply it to almost anything!
So once your Graphtec cutter has finished cutting your design out, all you do is weed the excess vinyl and heat apply it to your substrate.
Did you think there were more steps?! Depending on the complexity of what you are using the cutter for, there isn’t much more to it. You can create tons of different custom goodies for your business quickly and easily.
