Using heat transfer paper with a cutter/plotter

Compatible TPC heat transfer papers:
We offer transfer papers that can be successfully cut with a vinyl cutter/plotter. These heat transfer papers are constructed of two layers, (a backing sheet and a top transfer sheet). With the proper blade force settings on your cutter, you can cut through just the top transfer sheet giving you a clean and professionally cut design.

Note: In order for your cutter to grasp the transfer sheet while feeding, it must apply margins around the paper. It places a 2” margin from the top of the paper. Keep in mind that considering the margin, you will not be able to print and cut a full 8.5”x11" image. If you would like to print your design 8”x9” or larger, consider purchasing 11”x17” size heat transfer paper (be sure that your printer is capable of printing tabloid size paper if so).

How it works with the Roland GX-24 cutter:

Set-up, connect, and install your cutter and the included Cut Studio Program on your computer.
Connect your printer to your computer.
Create your design in your favorite design program and save as either a jpg, tiff, or eps file, (Adobe Illustrator & CorelDraw Users are able to print and cut right from your software with help of the included plug-in.) Mac Users must use Adobe Illustrator-CutStudio is for Windows only.
Choose your layout size (paper size). Adjust your registration marks as needed. (Illustrator & CorelDraw users will do this within their Roland CutStudio Plugin)
Import your image into the Roland CutStudio Software. Here you can resize and position your image.
Apply the cut lines. CutStudio automatically figures the cut lines for your image. If needed, you can add or delete cut lines for a more precise cut.
Send your image to your printer.
Load your finished print, (image printed on the heat transfer paper from your inkjet or laser printer), into the cutter in the correct position, lower your blade force, and cut.
