Buying and care advice for vinyl cutter owners
Written from AM.CO.ZA product data and the existing copy on this domain, to help you choose, set up and look after the right vinyl cutter equipment.
30°, 45° or 60° blades
Most vinyl cuts with a 45° blade. The steeper and shallower angles are for the jobs that go wrong with it.
Contour cutting: manual, semi-automatic and automatic
Normal cutting follows a vector line on plain vinyl. Contour cutting follows the edge of a design that is already printed.
Label cutters and phone film cutters
Two V-Auto machines are built for one job each: cutting labels off sheets, and cutting screen protector film for phones and tablets.
Choosing vinyl cutting software
Most cutters ship with a way to send a cut. Better software saves weeding time with panels, tiling and accurate placement.
