Using a cutter which is connected to your computer, you send an image to cut, in the same way you would send an image to print in a printer.

You put garment transfer material, such as flex, flock, glitter or reflective material into the cutter, which is then cut out, and pressed onto the T shirt using a heat press.

So, lets say you want a black number 7 onto the back of a shirt. You would put a black garment film into the cutter, and simply cut out the number 7, then heat press it onto the T shirt.

If you wanted a yellow 7 with a black background, you would cut the black & yellow seperately & then heat press.

You can use cad cut for single or multi colour printing, and the process can produce a range of different results, with a wealth of different garment materials available, such as flocks, glitters, reflective materials, as well as a wide range of coloured transfer films.

Cut & stick is great for numbers, lettering & Logo's. Single colour & multi colour, but the more colours, the more labourious the process becomes.

Cad cut works best with basic shapes & designs. Intricate designs can be created using cut & stick, but the weeding process becomes harder work on intricate jobs.

What it's not good for

Photographic images. For this you need a digital printing process.

Large numbers of colours. The higher the number of colours per job, the more labour intensive it becomes.

Small & intricate designs. While this can be achieved, the weeding out on more intricate images makes it a much longer process.
