The three Vinyl4 series
AM.CO.ZA launched Vinyl4 in early 2024 to fill gaps next to its existing V-Series, V-Smart and V-Auto cutters, offering more functionality at a lower cost of ownership (see the cornerstone.co.za launch article and the updating.co.za launch article).
- Vinyl4 Hobby is the entry-level cutter for hobbyists and start-ups. It competes with the V-Series and adds semi-automatic contour cutting. Size: 720mm. See the vinyl4.com Hobby page.
- Vinyl4 Studio is for small businesses and medium production. It competes with the V-Smart, does normal and semi-automatic contour cutting, and comes with a collection basket. Sizes: 720mm, 1350mm and 1750mm. See the vinyl4.com Studio page.
- Vinyl4 Business is for busy sign and print shops. It competes with the V-Smart Plus and V-Auto, and adds fully automatic alignment and contour cutting with segmentation (cutting long prints in sections) and longer accurate feeding. Sizes: 720mm, 1350mm and 1750mm, with a collection basket.

Contour cutting: which series does what
Normal cutting cuts lettering and shapes from plain vinyl, with no registration marks. All three series do this.
Contour cutting cuts around a printed design, such as stickers and decals, using registration marks printed around the artwork. The cutter's optical "laser eye" finds the marks.
- Hobby and Studio: semi-automatic. You move the laser eye to the registration marks yourself, then the cutter cuts the contour.
- Business: fully automatic. The cutter finds the marks on its own, and it supports segmentation for long prints.
See normal versus contour cutting on Vinyl4 with VinylCut for the full walkthrough.
Software and drivers
- VinylCut is AM.CO.ZA's vinyl cutting and craft design software, used for normal and contour cutting on Vinyl4. Buy the licence as
S-VINYLCUT, or choose a bundle SKU that includes it. See VinylCut. - FlexiSTARTER (SAi) driver support is also listed for Vinyl4 cutters on vinyl4.com.
- A free vinyl cutting course is included with every Vinyl4 cutter.
Setup tips
- The cutters are DIY products: you assemble the stand and install the cutter yourself, using the setup videos below. Help is available from AM.CO.ZA support on WhatsApp 060 600 7000.
- On the Hobby control panel, the up and down buttons change speed and the left and right buttons change force. Use the Test button on scrap vinyl until the blade cuts the vinyl but not the backing paper (see the Hobby operation guide).
- Line up the pinch rollers over the grit rollers before loading vinyl, then lock them and set the origin.
Spare parts and accessories
Vinyl4 spare parts are listed on Buythis and in this KB, for example the blade holder (V4-BH), pen holder (V4-PH), power supply (V4-POWER), motherboards such as V4-MB/S and carriage boards such as V4-CAR/B1350. See also the vinyl cutter spare parts and vinyl cutter blades guides.
