The process of label printing starts off with the design of your label. Using FlexiSTARTER, your design is imported so that you can get the design ready for print. You will want to create multiple instances of your logo, to make use of the space on the paper. From here, the design file is exported and saved, so that it can then be imported into FlexiPRINT.
Using FlexiPRINT, the design is opened and from here you can print using your FastCOLOUR Large Format Printer.
Once the print is complete, it is time to cut the labels using a Vinyl Cutter. The FlexiSTARTER CuttingPro is used to cut the vinyl into the right size.

Next up, we will take a look at what iscontour cutting. But first we need to discuss what the difference is between contour cutting and normal cutting. Contour cutting uses a computer-guided cutting process to cut around the outer edge of a printed image following the contour of the design, but with normal cutting, the design is cut out. Contour cutting lets you cut around an object, and when the object is cut out, the remainder of the shape is left behind. Then there is also manual and automatic contour cutting.
