Hello All,

I'm curious as to whether or not they make a plotter or cutter for use with heat press transfers? I primarily use PhotoShop and my graphics tend to be letter or object cutouts along with photo cutouts. It takes way too much time to cut with sissiors, any suggestions?

you have to get an optical plotter. This would be able to cut your design out. You will need to set up a vector file, that can trace the outline of your design as well.

Many software programs that come with the optic eye cutters have the ability to trace a scanned or imported jpeg, bmp, gif, to make it into vector art. If you aren't into converting images to vector you might consider this. Roland manufactures a few models with the optic eye (ie. GX-24), as does Graphtec (ie. Craft Robo). The Roland Cut Studio software comes with the trace feature, the Craft Robo software does not. Roland also makes a Stika in the SV series that can be manually aligned to cut around printed transfers.
