Though if you do have both SignMaster Pro and a supported cutter on hand, let’s dive into contour cutting! While SignMaster is compatible with all Vinyl Systems cutters of the Specialist, Edge, and Evo lines, contour cutting is only available in SignMaster Pro for more advanced cutters as the Edge and Evo. Once SignMaster Pro has launched, the document page size should default to the U.S. If not, go to the pages drop down list next to the gear and wrench icon and choose Letter in the Popular Page Sizes category. Now, import the image or graphic file you would like to print and cut by dragging it into SignMaster, or by clicking on the File menu, Import, then File to select your graphic. When the graphic has loaded, click on the top left corner within the page borders, then resize and move it to fit within the borders. Keep in mind that contour cutting will work best with high quality graphics that are either transparent or on a white background. With your graphic selected, go to the apple icon on the top toolbar and choose the Contour Cut Wizard. Several settings have been separated in the Output Options tab to make them more distinguishable from one another.

Firstly, we will need the Cutting Device set to the available cutter with Automatic ARMS enabled. Click on the Spooler button next to the cutter drop down list, and on the Vinyl Spooler window, go to the Cut Options tab and change the Media Width to 12 inches and the Blade Offset to 0.45, clicking the Done button afterwards. On the cutter itself, make sure its Force is set to 80 grams, and the Speed to 400 millimeters per second.
