Default Multiple colors in vinyl?

I am looking to use vinyl for some shirts. is there a way to use more than one color when pressing the vinyl? If so, could someone share with me the process.

I'm a noobie, and I really don't know.

thanks

I have used my cutter for about 1 1/2 years now but I just did my 2nd two color job. I have attached pictures of the first job. It just takes some lining up and patience.

I did a 2 color job today, and Im thrilled with the way it turned out.

I layed the first layer down then pressed it. You have to do it by each and by color, because you have the get the backing off the first color before you add the 2nd color.

Once the 1st color is applied, line up the second color and press.

Good Luck!

That thing had me so sore over the weekend. I can tell you it definitely can take pressure, that vinyl won't be coming off from too littel pressure that's a fact.

Nope it's not puffy, it's an optical illusion from the offset outline. It is good ole multicut vinyl that some wonderful lady on this forum introduced me too.
