How close can i cut to the edge of standard vinyl?

Recommended Posts

I own a LIYU DF vinyl cutter (1220mm wide), the tracking is quite superb on the machine anyway so i presume i can get fairly close. how close is too close though. would appreciate anyone's opinion/experience on this. thanks

There is no limit, put at least 1/4 inch away from the edge. We do not know how  you have your cutter set up.  Most don't own that cutter that reply back. Experience, trial and error. You will have to leave some room. I could with my cutter, but my cutter has great tracking (Graphtec)  Use a pen tool and experiment.

It really depends on how long of a run you're going to do. Pre-feed, and check the drift. You can make an educated estimation for the starting point.

Some software will start cutting from your point of origin, other software adds it's own margin of space.

So the best answer to that is trial and error, but try really, really hard not to go off the vinyl and cut into the cutting strip.
