Vinyl Cutter or Plotter? is there a difference between the two
Same thing, a vinyl cutter/ plotter does both. You load the blade attachment to cut vinyl or other materials, or you would load the pen attachement to plot on paper.
Re: Vinyl Cutter or Plotter? is there a difference between the two
A vinyl cutter and a plotter are the same machine, but are used different. The term plotter is when pens are installed and draw on paper like maps. The term cutter is when a blade is used to draw/cut vinyl material for signs or shirts etc. ..... JB

Plotting is not printing. Plotting is one color- like a Bic pen- whichever color pen you want, one at a time. You can do fill plotting, but it is very time consuming.
Re: Vinyl Cutter or Plotter? is there a difference between the two
oops that was weard but if a cutter and a plotter are the same machine then couldnt you plot out a job with the pen attatchment to see what it would look like before you just start cutting up some vinyl i mean to get to know your machine and settings before you get too deep in the hole burning up materials
Re: Vinyl Cutter or Plotter? is there a difference between the two
Yes you can do that. That's what i use to do when i first started out, I'll plot it on a regular piece of paper to see how it look's, and if i like it i'll go ahead and load the vinyl for my work.
Re: Vinyl Cutter or Plotter? is there a difference between the two
Yep- alot of people plot out their job first to make sure it is good before loading vinyl to cut it out. You can also plot house plans, CAD designs, fill plot multi-colored graphics, and I have even seen some people make their own coloring books for kids....
