1. SECTION 1: Drawing with Inkscape

    1.1Create a stickers with vinylcutter

    You can drawing with Inkscape or download .svg file from web or specific platform like THE NOUN PROJECT.
    In this tutorial we use Roland Machine with Cut studio software and Inkscape.



    Starting this machine is quite simple, after turning it on, you need to position the roll (aligned in the middle) after raising the lever on the back, position the sheet following the markers and then move the trim sheet wheels. Now locks the lever. Choose "roll" on the screen and scroll the sheet. Now hold "origin" until "origin set" comes out. From inkscape you can send directly the file in cutstudio.

    You just have to remember before launching the file, to detect the size of the sheet by clicking on "settings" next to the model of the machine. For this file I use this setting: force 150 gr, speed: 10 cm/s.
