It’s assumed that you are already familiar with the basic print and cut workflow. In this article, we’ll focus on the steps peculiar to the perf cut process. LXI RIP 12 also has drivers for all the Q Series and Graphtec plotters mentioned here. You can do the same thing in Vinyl Express LXI RIP 12, which supports the PrismJET VJ24, VJ24X, VJ48, and VJ54 printers. Since most of our customers use SAI’s FlexiSign & Print 12 software for design and production of digitally printed graphics, these directions are based on the use of Flexi. We’ll need to add a couple of steps to the design process and a couple more to the cutting stage. The Perf cut process is similar to the standard print and cut workflow, but with a couple of added steps. It’s called Perf cut and it’s pretty nifty option, especially for on demand decals. These advanced machines can perform a standard contour or “kiss cut” around the printed graphic, then cut through the vinyl in a perforated pattern so that you can then pop out the decal and hand it to your customer for them to apply whenever they choose. If it’s a Vinyl Expess Q Series, Graphtec FC8000 or FC8600 plotter, it can. But wouldn’t it be nice if the vinyl cutter could do that for you? This can be done manually, or with a trimmer.
If you’re selling decals, especially at an event like a race or festival, you still have to cut them from the sheet of vinyl to give to your customer. If you sell printed, contour-cut decals, you know that printing and cutting the images is only the first step. How to make Perf-cut Decals with a Vinyl Express Q Series Vinyl Cutter
