Let’s walk through a common scenario: You have a logo that needs to be printed, then cut as a sticker.
Step 1: Design in CorelDRAW Create your artwork in CorelDRAW. The design does not need a cut line yet.
Step 2: Generate Cut Contour Go to the eCut menu > Contour Cut. Select your design. Choose "Offset" (usually 0.5mm to 2mm outside the design). eCut will draw a perfect red cutline around your shape.
Step 3: Add Registration Marks Click eCut > Marks > Add registration marks. Select "Type 1" (for most optical sensors). eCut will place 3 or 4 black squares/circles around the perimeter of your print. ecut for coreldraw
Step 4: Print Print the design (with cut line and registration marks) onto your vinyl using a regular inkjet/laser printer.
Step 5: Cut Load the printed sheet into your vinyl cutter. In eCut, select eCut > Cut > Read Marks. The plugin will use your cutter’s camera or manual alignment to find the registration marks. Finally, click "Send to Cutter."
The machine will cut precisely around your printed logo, accounting for any skew or stretching in the print.
