Vinyl cutter - FabLab Leuven

You choose an image (black and white), edit it in Inkscape (make quite a large file and put theimage in mirrorview !!) and save it via GIMP as .jpeg
Then you go to the vinyl cutter
You first put the right color roll in the machine – load roll, hang it straight and put the black "sliding wheels" correctly
Enter
Then you enter the dimensions (which you see on the machine) of the roll in the Cutstudio via Cutting > Properties (the PC is next to the cutting machine)
You import your document(s)
Per image: right mouse button: image outline – you play around with the density here and then: extract contour lines + ok
You check whether the contours have been followed properly. If not, you can still try playing with the density or your file
Then: Cutting + ok
After this, you must remove the sticker material that should not be printed (best with tweezers)
Finally, put your t-shirt under the heat press (max 180°C !!) and then your printed t-shirt is ready.
