Vinyl Cutter
The lab is equipped with a Roland GX 24 Vinyl Cutter. It has a cut width of 22.9″ with both roll and sheet options. This machine cuts adhesive backed vinyl for decals, stencils, and resists which can be applied via transfer paper to a number of different surfaces.
Once a file has been cut, there is a secondary process called weeding which is the removal of either the positive or negative space from the image. This is a process best done in the lab where we have the proper tools to do so--it is a good idea to leave some time for this process.
