VINYL FOR DIGITAL CUTTER PLOTTER
Which vinyl should I buy? Vinyl comes in different widths and lengths. Our vinyl cutter can take widths up to 550mm. Length doesn't really matter - it's a roller feed system. Graphic Art Mart sell vinyl in 615mm and 1230mm widths, and sometimes 381mm (PUNCHED). If you want to use the vinyl without having to first trim it down, you'll want the 381mm (PUNCHED). "Punched" means that there are little holes all the way down the sides of the roll. The holes are there to help it feed into old Gerber vinyl cutter machines, which use a sprocket feed system. Because of the little holes, you'll lose 5-10mm from each side, giving you a useable width of approximately 360mm. Think of the holes as your selvedge!
