Impressions - June/July 2019 - 44
To eliminate white areas along
the print/cut design's edge,
position the cut line along the
image's edge and extend the
design's color past it.
If a white outline is preferred,
create the cut line along the
image's edge, then expand the
outline to the desired thickness
around the perimeter.
The more
cavities a design
has, the more
pulls it will take
to weed the
vinyl transfer -
meaning more
production
time.
should be considered.The more cavities
a design has, the more pulls it will take
to weed the transfer - meaning more
production time. Include open areas in
the image to prevent the transfer from
being too solid and heavy.
Linking open areas with small gaps in
the lines will help to reduce the number of
pulls required for weeding.An exception
to the amount of vinyl used in an image is
with specialty vinyls, such as glitter or foil
material. In such instances, larger areas of
vinyl will help show off its special effect.
If you're not as concerned about time,
then you can play around with the line and
spacing thicknesses and include additional cavities. However, if you are creating
artwork for production by someone else,
consult with that person for recommended specifications.This will help prevent
future adjustments or additional fees incurred for proper cutting and weeding.
Print/Cut Transfers
With these types of transfers, a full-color
image is digitally printed onto vinyl and
then cut around the perimeter. Appropriate thicknesses and number of cavities
should be considered, similar to vinyl-cut
designs. However, a specific cut line also
must be set up so that the cutter will automatically follow the paths or outlines
of the different vector shapes to cut out
the image.
For print/cut designs, regardless of
whether they are vector or raster images,
the cut line must include a spot color that
is named with the appropriate naming
scheme, such as "CutContour," required by
