Cutting images larger than vinyl

[kydj68 0]

Is there a way to cut an image that is larger than your vinyl. I thought maybe there is a way to cut the image and cut it after the first or will the softwear do this on its own. I got like 24" vinyl but image is 27". Any help you can give would be great.

What program are you using. Signblazer will automatically tile your image. Make sure your vinyl size is set correctly in the cut window setup.

I'm using SBE. I saw a tile button in the cut screen do I need to click it or what?

Mine just separates it into tiles. You do have to set how much overlap you want.

And where do i set the overlap? And is the overlap the extra that is not cut the first time?

[Jay2703 704]

It is in the cutter setup window. It sets how much the vinyl will overlap when you apply it. If it is set to zero the vinyl will butt up together. If you set it to .25 the vinyl will overlap .25".

cool so most of the time it will set at 0 then right?

[Jay2703 704]

If you set it at say .1 the only time it comes into play is if you are tiling a job. I would just set it to what you want it for tiling and leave it.

What is a good setting to put it on and leave it?

[Jay2703 704]

I would go .15 to .25.
