I don't quite understand your question. The Roland GX-24 (and several Graphtecs) use the optical eye to read registration marks to automatically cut out your image. Yes, there's a little setup involved, but it's pretty straight forward.
The only other way to do it with today's technology is to cut it out manually with scissors or a hobby knife.
I know of no other way to cut out an image except with the right paper and a cutter with optic eye or other registration system or a pair of scissors or exacto blade or similiar
OK,
I guess I was wondering if you could somehow line-up the cutter with the image that was printed and send the same image to the cutter, therefore cutting out the printout.
I hope that makes sense, it's hard for me explain what I mean.
Ok,
I understand what the optical eye does. I'm wondering if I can do this process without one. If I can line-up the printout so I can make the cutter cut the same image that is printed.
as Chani says...in a word NO.... you cannot have the cutter follow an outline with some sort of registration..you are just going to be frustrated as hell..
