Newb large vinyl question

Recommended Posts

I realize there is probably a video on this topic. But I’m looking to cut vinyl to fit an 8’x4’ area. How on earth do I get the machine to recognize I don’t have vinyl that size, and that I’ll need to puzzle it together.

you can either direct the software to "Tile" the image or you can select elements that fit into the width you can cut (which I can do 90 percent of the time) - - - - don't have kids around when you go to tape a 8 ft project the first time or install 8' the first time they will add to their vocabulary :)

Hi, and welcome.

I make signs all the time that are 4x8. The key is designing things to fit your vinyl.

For instance -- 28" x 88" is a good workspace for one section, and 14" x 88" for another. (30" and  15" material)

In this example, the phone # would be one cut, and the rest of the text another cut. (two different vinyl roll widths)4x8-lg.jpg
