Default Re: Roland GX-24 Vinyl Cutter

That logo would work great on the Roland.
What you want to avoid is lots of small lettering or small cuts that would drive you crazy weeding. Some fonts like 'Cracked' need to be a few inches tall because of all the little pieces in each letter.

I also try to keep the lines thicker than 2pts. The thinner lines don't seem to stand up after repeated washings. They will crack or start to come off with the T-shirt fuzz in the wash.

The cut vinyl works great for small runs or unique garments like team jerseys. If you plan on 12 or more of the same design, screen printing is a better choice. (saves time and material costs)

The Roland will cut smaller pieces than you want to use with T-shirt vinyl.
