How to Prep and Save Files for Vinyl Cutting | ADOBE Illustrator Tutorial

This was exactly what I was looking for, thank you! I just wanted to ask if there was a reason you saved as an .AI file and not an .SVG. Will either one work?

Excellent video for a beginner like me but I have a question? I was told my logo may be stacked is the reason my cutter is cutting doulble on each cut it makes. How can I delete a dupllicate layer in illustrator???

Much easier in Corel Draw!

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

nice slow talking to better follow instructions. Thank you!!

Why not just export it as a PNG file?

finally found a video for my problem. as for shapes, is it possible to add outline on to a shape. basically i have a circle within a circle, but the inner circle is not getting any 'outline'. tried the object>path>outline stroke but it didn't work

Does Adobe Photoshop Sketch work for this too?

Thanks!

This is exactly the help I needed! Thank you so much!

I kmow this vid is a few years old now but would this process work for the dreaded Artcut 2009? I have a cutter on the way and it has this program which is not an optimal program from all the bad things I hear. Thanks for this.

What’s the best software for vinyl cutting

You just helped me turn a 98 layer complex logo into a cut ready vinyl window sign. You are my hero!

thankyou sir

Well, going to have to get myself Adobe Illustrator now. Just got myself a nice Gerber vinyl cutter that runs off Windows 3.1 and it can import .ai files, so I reckon it should work 👌

Send on to your vinyl cutter? i still have to use the cutter software to cut?

This was the only helpful video I've found on this subject. Thank you Jordan.

thinks from morocco

Thank GOSH for making this, I’ve got a weird software for my vinyl cutter where you have to have the outlines done in illustrator before you even send it to the second software, so WHY DO I HAVE THE SOFTWARE!? It can’t even make its own outlines -.-

6-4-21 Thank you

Literally the best video that is to the point and helpful out of all the ones I have watched on this subject! Thank you!!

Thank you I was looking for a video like this for three days online I couldn't find anyone. your video is excellent and shows me step by step I like the thank you. you did a good job for the people to fight me I am a beginner I bought a vinyl cutter. the software they give you is not really 2 good I have AdobeIllustrator

Yes you explain everything but one big question where do you cut how do you start it to cut you did what everybody else did. but you did a little bit more yes at the end of the video you didn't show people where is the cut button and how do you start it to cut which button do you press lol

Everything else was excellent but you never show someone where is the button you press how do you start it. lol. how do you get the cutter the start cutting everything else was good but the ending was terrible

Million-dollar question how do you send it off to your vinyl cutter now had to go back searching because you didn't show me how to send it to my vinyl cutter I am a beginner that's the million-dollar question how do you send it to your vinyl cutter you never show it wow everything else was good you ruined the whole video

Question: What Illustrator version is this?
