The one major limitation with vinyl cutters is that they can only cut shapes from solid colors of vinyl. ![]() The Niles Library’s vinyl cutter can cut objects up to 12″ X 10″ Since the vinyl material can come in long rolls, projects with significant length like banners or billboards can be easily cut as well. The cutter is capable of moving the blade on an X and Y axis over the material, cutting it into any shape imaginable. A vector based design is created in a software program (Silhouette Studio, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, etc.) and then sent to the cutter where it cuts along the vector paths laid out the design. A vinyl cutter (or vinyl plotter) is essentially a computer controlled plotting device with a blade instead of a pen.
