Default Corel X3 -Cuttling Letters direct to Roland GX24

Hi People,

I have been up and running with my Roland for about a week now and the company who I purchased the cutter from in the UK, provide a days training, which is the end of the month. However I have a job to do which consists of 36 polo shirts with nothing more than black vinyl lettering front and back. I want to ouput this direct to the cutter through Corel, rather than using the cut studio software which comes bundled with the cutter.

I have a couple of questions.

1) Am I right in thinking that to set the letters to cut i apply a no fill, with a hairline outline, and reverse the text? I have played about with this and it seems to work.

2) I have to do about 48 sets of designs through the cutter, and I am using 500mm wide vinyl roles. Im not sure how to duplicate the design and apply it to Corel so that I can cut the whole lot in one go, with as minimal vinyl wastage as possible. I have drew a rectangle around the design, for weeding purposes. Can anyone advise how I go about duplicating the design and cutting all 48 jobs in one go. Its the same bunch of wording that I need, just duplicated 48 times and cut continously on the same roll. Its probably simple, but i am overlooking it at the moment.

Thanks so much. I have to get this job finished by Thursday PM.
