Tricky question, are going to just cut vinyl, or are you going to do some digital printing ? It just might be cheaper to have someone do it for you....

Same question applies for the software...

The vinyl cutter thread at the top still hasnt moved. There are still 76 pages in there to read. FYI: Its sticky so it will always be in the same spot so you do not have to worry about trying to search for it later.

i am a total newb with the vinyl cutters, but have a silhouette cameo. Has worked great so far, and done everything I have wanted it to do. Comes with some basic software that works good for scanned images and whatnot, but i havn't got it figured out on using it to draw.

I buy sheets of vinyl that are sticky backed with paper.
Download or create whatever image you want,
cut the sheet to 9x12",
insert in your printer so that it'll print on the backside of the paper,
cut out the design on a mat with a nice sharp knife
Voila! instant reversed designs (so that they're the right way when painted)
