i have a standard vinyl cutter and i understand there some cutters on the market that are able to cut around your t shirt transfers perfectly...however at the moment i'm stuck with using my plain old scissors and hand. Obviously square images are fine to cut and i use a trimmer to get a perfect cut...but but anything else and you can see the cut lines and it looks terrible so different to when cutting images on a white background!
Is there any decent methods of cutting out circles or other objects. In the passed i have used a compass for circles but more often than not the cut isn't perfect and a tiny pin hole is created in the centre of the images!.....i take it it's pretty hard doing any other cuts apart from bog standard squares/rectangle images.

As you know Everlast opaque is another name for Ironall for dark. Some members who have tried cutting with vinyl cutter are having a hard time doing contour cutting. Chani is one of the members who has done very successfully in contour cutting of opaque transfer papers has not found a way to cut the material. At least the last time she posted about Ironall for dark.
There is a member though that claims cutting successfully with GX24. His id is Gordo. Try sending him a PM and ask him his method.
Good luck.
