If you have always wanted to add a vinyl cutter to your business, here’s something for you to consider: You can buy a cutter anywhere, but who will teach you how to cut graphics for garments?
It’s easier than you might realize to use a cutter and CAD-CUT heat transfer materials, but you still need a little help getting started. We know this to be true because we’ve spoken with countless cutter owners over the years who have purchased cutters and then never taken them out of the box! Why? Fear of the unknown, fear of hooking up cables, fear of making that first cut, there are many reasons. Your new cutter is packed with features that will help you cut all types of vinyl and graphics including heat transfers, sign vinyl, rhinestone templates, sandblast material and pressure sensitive twill. In order to help our customers get the most mileage out of their cutter purchases, Stahls’ Equipment Division is introducing the industry’s first online video orientation class for new cutter owners. Here’s what you can learn:
