Import any images/designs you want to cut out – Silhouettes are best. Insert the image file that you wish to use by clicking import and selecting the file.
If using an image you will need to trace the it:
Select the image.
When you have your image positioned, click “Object” and then select “Image Outline.”
In the menu that pops up, click “Extract Contour lines.”
This button allows you to define how many lines will be cut by adjusting the definition of the picture.
Move the slide bar until the definition you want is shown and then click “Extract Contour Lines.” This may take several attempts.
Delete the original image.
Position your image in the lower left corner, moving to the right if there was something cut out in the lower left.
Draw two boxes around the image. This will aid in the removal of the image later.
When you are ready to cut, press “Cutting” on the top.
Select the “Roland gx24.”
Click “Print.”
A warning will appear – it is telling you that the origin is being flipped to the bottom to match the material, click OK.
When it is done check that the cut is correct, pull the release lever on the back of the machine. This will allow the vinyl to roll freely.
Remove the roll and remove your image, do not cut holes in the vinyl roll, the only time you should ever cut the vinyl is if you are cutting all the way across it, removing an entire section after it is used up.
Slowly and carefully remove any bits that you don’t want using the vinyl tweezers.
Using the squeegee apply the transfer tape to the image.
Slowly and carefully remove the image from the backing and slowly and carefully apply it to your desired location. If you want to take it home, you will need to retrieve a sticker sheet to stick it on.
