Push start: The machine carves the image before ejecting the sheet with your design cut out. Adjust the cutter's settings (e.g., speed, knife depth, cutting pressure) if your cutter model doesn't do this automatically.
Then, load the machine with a sheet of vinyl from which your design will be cut. You first upload an image - either premade or your own design - and adjust font, sizing, etc. Instead of printing images, a vinyl cutter carves letters and shapes from sheets of vinyl or other materials. Think of a vinyl cutter as a digitally controlled scissor, shaped like a printer with a computer's brain.
