You can get away without doing this for white or light coloured Tshirts if you prefer, although if there is a lot of white background in a design, cutting and then weeding it out will enhance the handle of the garment once the transfer has been applied. You’ll need the contour cutter for cutting out the unwanted background.
If you’re going to be using either CMYK laser transfer printing or inkjet transfer printing, you’ll need a cutter, especially when it comes to printing on dark garments. You don’t need a cutter plotter for Tshirt screen printing, or DTG printing, or for self weed laser transfer printing with a white toner laser printer. If you’re going to be using bought in transfers, or bought in embroidered heat transfer appliques, all you’ll need is a heat press.
If you’re planning on only printing via dye sublimation printing for example, then you won’t need a vinyl cutter potter – just a dye sublimation printing set up and a heat press. I’d recommend starting out asking this question, and this comes down to understanding which Tshirt printing method or methods you are going to be employing. You may have heard about the Silhouette Cameo, in which case you may be wondering whether the Cameo is the best contour cutter for you, or whether there’s another cutter you should be looking at? Do I actually need a vinyl cutter?
If you’re considering inkjet transfer Tshirt printing, or CYMK laser transfer printing, and/or contour cut heat transfer vinyl, then you’ll probably be wondering which is the best cutter plotter to go for.
