I"ve found out how to save and use the extra 3"vinyl that was cut from the nornal size of 15" roll of vinyl for the roland stika 8" or 12" cutter.(these are for t-shirt printing)
1. Save all normal size plastic backings from the previous work/printing on shirts,etc.(12' w x whatever the length).
2. get the unused cut 3" vinyl from the storage and cut it into 12" .
3. get a piece of the saved plastic backing (sticky side on top).lay on the table.
4. lay one by one the cut 12" vinyl over the plastic backing. see pictures,using white vinyl).
5. slip the "new" vinyl to the cutter (i didn't get any problem with the additional thickness of the plastic backing ).
6. you can get only 2-2.75"H (with normal width size of your 8"-12" cutter) of an image from the 3" extra viny.
7. everytime you finished the first image cutting from the first vinyl, turn off the machine then roll the feeder up to the 2nd vinyl where the blade will start cutting, and so on...
Please see my pics...
(my roland stika 12" is really good fo a starterr, I hope I have the money for a roland gx24!! I was able to make 100's of graphics and it's still working!)
enjoy and I hope it helps!
