  •     Camera
  •     Accounting software (we’d recommend Quickbooks, Or you can use Excel Sheets in start)

 What Cutting Software You Should Use?

When you purchase a cutter, it will commonly come with its own software.

  1. Corel Draw  
  2. Adobe Illustrator
Please note that you can't use Adobe Photoshop for this purpose. As Photoshop use dots, rather then lines, which your vinyl Printer needs to print.
