With cutting plotter, the sign making process can be much easier!

       A vinyl cutter plotter, frequently referred to simply as a plotter, is a piece of computer equipment frequently used for sign making. A vinyl letter machine may be large or small and can be used to cut out vinyl sign lettering and other graphics, to make everything from bumper stickers to billboards. The vinyl used is like a decal material, with a vinyl facing and adhesive backing attached to a paper liner. Certain types are more durable and made to withstand exterior use. Heat-transferable vinyl, such as for making T-shirts, is also available and can be used with plotters.

       Vinyl cutter is a device that is used to cut vinyl or other material into shapes. The device is about the size of a desktop printer. Some machines are connected to a computer with a cable. Others use cartridges to determine the graphic design that is to be cut by the machine. The machine uses the information that it gathers from either a cartridge or a computer to cut a specific design from vinyl or other material. It functions similarly to a printer in that it moves along the material to be cut, making small incisions in the material. Once the material is removed from the vinyl cutter, the design may be removed from the material sheet. This design may be used for scrap booking, card making, sign making, sewing, or many other crafts.
