How do you make 2 color stickers?
Say the font is black and there is a red logo through it. If you cut out the black font and then cut the red logo, they're now on 2 seperate sheets.
How do you get them on to one sheet to apply them at the same time?
Like the ones I see in the motorcycle, bike, and tuner shops.
Thanks
Also, what's the major difference between the Graphtec FC7000-75 and the Roland GX-300?

Those are the 2 cutters I'm looking at.
Regarding the two color stickers. You apply one layer at a time, not both at once. Apply the back/bottom layer, get it set, remove bubbles, etc., then apply the upper layer/color on top. Again work it in as normal.
So if I do a 2 or 3 color sticker, I have to hand it over to my buddies in 3 sheets and have them apply it in 3 steps?
There's no way to float them on to one sheet?
I'm talking about stickers that are about 8" to 10" square or smaller.
The big graphics I understand would have to be done seperately due to size.

Hi Mike, just a quick tip while you're waiting for more answers in this thread. There are some past suggestions and photo about doing multi color vinyl applications here: multi color vinyl related topics at T-Shirt Forums

Here's a video (a bad one) and it'll show you steps in how it's done.
It's not real clear how they do it, you may want to watch it more than once.
Also, there are more on YouTube that show this, I just couldn't remember where they were.
Basically, you need register marks to be able to do more than one color, and it helps to also not have close registration with each color, meaning, if the colors don't touch, it's easier to do. YouTube - how to Layer 2 colors Vinyl Decal
I hope this helps some, but like I said, it's not a well done video, but it might help explain it some.
You may want to keep clicking on the video icons on the right-hand side and continue looking around, there is definitely better videos of this transfer application than what is shown in this video.
Thanks Rodney, those are great for T-Shirt, which I will be trying also. So I guess there's no easy way to stack multiple colors on 1 vinyl sticker. Most of my graphics will be for racecars and car haulers, which are large anyway and I will be installing. It's just the little ones I wanted to put on 1 sheet. Alot of my customers would not want to layer they're own sticker.
