What you should know about vinyl cutters

What you should know about vinyl cutters before investing your hard earned money. We will talk about a few things that we have learned all this time about our vinyl cutters. We will compare our Graphtec CE6000-60 vs our Cameo 4 12" hopefully you get a better idea about the type of plotter that fits you and your needs. Without a doubt Graphtec is one of the best vinyl cutters you can get, Cameo cutters are a good option too if you want something more affordable, we always recommend you invest in a bigger than 12 inches. No matter what cutter you get, you should be able to make car decals, car magnets, banners, yard signs and a lot more. Make sure to check out our channel to get a better idea of what products you can make.

Thus was a great presentation! 😃 thank you for sharing this! 😊

Thank you! You’re welcome 🤗!

[@Gwogster]

I've watched a couple of your latest videos where your Graphtec is cutting through the backing paper on the vinyl. Have you checked the cutting strip on the machine to make sure it's not damaged as that could be the problem and not the blade...

[@jaydee15]

I didn't see any link for the corner cutter you used near the end of the video. Do you happen to have a link, or the name, for it please?

[@chickenpimp5190]

Nice video. I started with a cricut but it seems more suited for arts and crafts. I'm ordering a us cutter sc2 this week. I want to step up to wider vinyl.

[@RDIdecals]

Thank you! That’s how we did it, we started with a 15 inch cutter and updated to a 24 inch. Hopefully we’ll be able to upgrade to a digital printer or a bigger Graphtec. Thanks for watching!

[@user-wf4lr2yd9w]

How do you like the SC2? I don't know what to get. I was going to get the SC2 but then I was told I should get a servo motor, not a stepper motor. But I am trying to decide between a Saga Servo Contour Vinyl Cutter 720II 28.3" / 24.8" or the Titan 2. Or the sc2. I'm having a hard time choosing my first cutter. I was going to order the MH 871 then I found the SC2. so, I'm stuck between these four options. It will be my first cutter i plan on making decals for cars and wall art. I appreciate any input experienced people might have.

[@chickenpimp5190]

@@user-wf4lr2yd9w unfortunately I've only used it twice since I got it. I didn't need it as much as I thought I did. However it seems to work good. I haven't had any problems out of it.

[@Wahrheitskrieger006]

Hey Guys great Video, what are you doing when the customer ask you for a big project with digital printing or full wrap design for car? We dont offer that we make only vinyl decal plotts!

[@RDIdecals]

Hello! We don’t do full wrappings. Whenever we decide to take on a project that requires digitally printed vinyl, we buy it from a local store. The reason we don’t offer this type of jobs is because of how long it takes to get our printed vinyl.

[@ReginaldPriceSkillions]

what is your website to buy your decals?

[@KatrinaSherokee]

Small doesn’t always mean cheap. For the same price if not cheaper you can get a uscutter MH series machine for less than $400 . I’ve had a cameo, cricut and now the 34” uscutter.

[@RDIdecals]

So true! We want to get our hands on a uscutter one since they are very popular and sound like great machines. You’re more than welcome to share your thoughts on all of those cutters so people can see more opinions about other types of cutters. Thanks for watching!

[@jamesduncan5814]

I agree I started out with a brother design and cut and also moved up to a mh cutter 34" but it only cuts 30

[@raygangibbs3762]

Does the MH have print and cut ?

[@tristannovak505]

@@raygangibbs3762depends on the printer but the standard baseline only have cut. There are printers and cutters on their site but the cost is astronomically higher than just a cutter. 😊

[@tristannovak505]

How do you like your us cutter?

[@erg2]

When using the Oracal 651 vinyl with the Cameo cutter, I see you are not using a cutting mat. You don’t need a cutting mat for this material? I thought you needed to use a cutting mat for all material. I just bought my Cameo Silhouette 4 PLUS, and I am still learning. What are the cut settings for the Cameo with the Oracal vinyl? Thank you!

[@RDIdecals]

Hello! You don’t really need a cutting mat for Oracal 651, right now our settings are blade: 4 cut force: 13 but they have been changing as we use them. I will leave a link to a video where we work on a project and we cover more about the software and other things: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3rblnyrjM-ifdE

Great idea! Though we love the fact that we can control or make any kind of content we want 😅. Thanks for your support!

[@ThierryC2373]

Most people will start with a small vinyl cutter but bear in mind that the Silhouette is one of if not the loudest cutter out there, so loud you cannot listen to a youtube video or have a conversation while it is cutting.
