quality instead of quantity - be creative with vinyl cutters

What is a vinyl cutter?

Schneideplotter sind - ebenso wie ein normaler Drucker – Ausgabegeräte, die durch den Computer vollautomatisch gesteuert werden. Doch statt mit Tinte zu drucken, schneidet der Schneideplotter mit einem kleinen Messer Objekte wie z.B. Schriften oder geometrische Figuren aus selbstklebenden Materialien aus. In der Regel werden einfarbige Selbstklebefolien verwendet, doch der Schneidplotter kann alle Materialien verarbeiten, die aus zwei Lagen bestehen und somit über einen so genannten Träger verfügen. Bei Klebefolien ist dieser Träger in der Regel ein Silikonpapier. Das Messer des Schneideplotters durchtrennt beim Plotvorgang nur die Folie selbst. Der Träger des Materials bleibt unversehrt und hält den frisch gestalteten Aufkleber (in der Fachsprache Plot genannt) zusammen, bis er auf die gewünschte Oberfläche übertragen wird.
