Peace does anyone have a guide to using a vinyl cutter with t-shirt transfer paper. Is there a way that you can print your design out on transfer paper and then cut that same design out with a vinyl cutter? Peace Allah Divine
There are two different meanings of optical eye/sensor as applied to cutters. 1. the sensor that determines the size of the media by rolling the media across it whole length, th eoptical sensor detects when the light hit thereby determining that the media has reach its end, this data is then stored in memory so that the cutter does not exceed this point. 2. An optical sensor in conjunction with a laser that actually locate the pressence of a REGISTER ( circular print that signifies a demarkation point ). The laser emits a beam and the optical sensor receives the reflected beam from the media that tells the cutter where the bounderies are of your printed media, this helps the cutter locate the cutting point you programmed in the software. this process is known as "contour cutting".
Contour cutting is the feature that you are looking for, one such machine is the gx-24 by roland, graphtec also makes a few but i'm not familiar with their models.
If you do a search in youtube using gx-24 as search criteria, you will find a demo of the contour cutting feature. Good luck.

I have a seiki 870T vinyl cutter, do you know if that comes with it? I use flexisign pro 8. Peace

Since you are using Flexi Pro you should be able to do a trace of the graphic and then cut it in vinyl. You will probably have to do some clean up depending on the original graphic, but it is possible.

You can't do it,i tried when i first got it and you can't these are very low end cutters from Sunie.com that are not capable of contour cutting.

So can this cutter do vinyl t shirts? or is this just for signs? Because if that's the case I might sell it and get one that can meet my needs. Peace

You can cut Heat press vinyl and Decals,Signs and so on ,But like COEDS said you can't contour cut around inkjet transfers.
So yes you can cut t-shirt vinyl for t-shirts with it.

I finally made a simple text t-shirt lol I'm all happy and stuff. i know that I will have more to learn such as having 2 colors on my shirt ( outline my text 1 color and the text another ). So thank you all again. Peace Allah Divine
