I was wondering what all you need to do to a logo in order to get it to work with a vinyl plotter?

Thanks

With a cutter, everything needs to be vector or have a cut line where you want to cut. If you have a multi color logo, you'll need to do some color separations and fills for the colors that go in the back to avoid having to get perfect alignment when applying. If your good with wet application, you might get away with cutting only what is seen but why chance everything not lining up perfectly. You have to cut the outside and it won't cost any more to leave the inner part filled instead of cookie cutting every single line on all layers. Good luck and I hope you can understand what I'm trying to get acroos.
