Yes and no! You can design something with a specific color in mind, but since the vinyl cutter doesn't print anything, it will come down to the vinyl color you chose! If you need a specific color, check the Friends of the Library Bookstore at Central Resource Library to see if you can find what need - you can buy by the sheet - or shop around at your favorite crafts stores or online.Ībsolutely! You can use free software like Inkscape, or commercial software like Illustrator to make your design at home.
When you're ready, click on Cut Now and confirm! When the vinyl cutter has finished cutting, lift up the clamp lever and take out your vinyl sheet: we will show you how to clean up or "weed" your design in the next step. It's definitely an advanced feature for experienced designers and outside the scope of this tutorial - but at least you will know it's here when you need it!
