We all had an issue cutting small sheets of vinyl. Some cutters contain an eye that registers the vinyl sheets into the machine and prevents cutting material.

We have good news! Save and use leftover HTV with this secret tip. This hack is perfect for Graphtec, Roland & GCC users. We'll show you how!

Here is a Graphtec CE7000-60 Cutting Plotter. You will see an eye on the front and/or back of the cutter.

You can tape up the eye to block the machine from reading how long the HTV roll or sheet is. It's best to use masking tape or non-transparent tape. Covering the eye gives the opportunity to use up smaller sheets. As long as the HTV is long enough to be clipped securely on the machine.

For the Graphtec, it must be clipped on the right side of the machine to work. For Roland, it is on the left side. Depending on where the eye is located on the cutter, that's where you secure the HTV.

And there you have it! An easy way to make use of your leftover Heat Transfer Vinyl!
