The vinyl cutter is a machine that is used to create and cut out small intricate designs onto vinyl to create stickable prints. The machine retrieves its design from CorelDRAW and prints it from that software. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use CorelDRAW to create and send a print to the Vinyl Cutter, as well as basic operations of the machine.
To be allowed to use the vinyl cutter, you must watch all training videos, 100% the required quiz, and perform a test print to show that you are able to use the machines safely.
