:: Vinyl Cutter ::

Vinyl cutter is a type of precision and efficiency computer-controlled machine. Like the printer controls a nozzle, the computer controls the movement of a sharp blade over the surface of the material. With a completely redesigned cutting carriage and blade holder, the GS-24 offers great stability, up to 10x overlap cutting and down force of up to 350 grams so that you can cut like never before — even on thick, dense substrates. This blade is used to cut out shapes and letters from sheets of thin self-adhesive plastic (vinyl). The vinyl can then be stuck to a variety of surfaces depending on the adhesive and type of material.
Operating procedure:-

:- Clean the dust or any plastic materials in the roller before starting of activity.
:- Power on the vinyl cutter with power connector is provided on the side of the vinyl cutter.
:- load the vinyl materials in the backside rollers
:- After loading the materials pass through the printer and make proper align with guided line in the machine.
:- A blade is used for cutting the vinyl which is place in blade holder.
:- Two pitch rollers are in the vinyl cutter which have to be adjusted on the left and the right side of the vinyl sheet so that the sheet is properly fixed for cutting place.
:- There are white coloured markings is roughness is provided which can hold the pitch roller properly.
:- Adjusted on the grit roller and the pitch roller on the white coloured marks in such a way that minimum sheet is wasted during the vinyl cutting.
:- Set origin and decide force then start

:: GIMP ::
    

GIMP (the GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a program for creating and editing raster graphics. In most aspects, its features are comparable to those of Adobe* Photoshop* and other commercial programs. GIMP is a cross-platform image editor available for GNU/Linux, OS X, Windows and more operating systems.

There are two main types of digital graphics: raster and vector. GIMP is intended for working with raster graphics, which are most often used for digital photographs or scanned images.

Raster Images:-  A raster image is a collection of pixels: Small blocks of color that create an entire image when put together. High resolution images contain a large number of pixels. Because of this, such image files can easily become quite large. It is not possible to increase the size of a raster image without losing quality. GIMP supports most common formats of raster graphics, like JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PSD, and more.

Vector Images:-  Unlike raster images, vector images do not store information about individual pixels. Instead, they use geometric primitives such as points, lines, curves, and polygons. Vector images can be scaled very easily. Depending on their content, vector image files can both be very small or very large. However, their file size is usually independent of their display size.

The disadvantage of vector images is that they are not good at representing complex images with many colors such as photographs. There are many specialized applications for vector graphics, for example Inkscape. GIMP has very limited support for vector graphics. For example, GIMP can open and rasterize vector graphics in SVG format or work with vector paths.
