Creating with Illustration Software

Use a printer equipped with a cutting function to print an image on media that has an adhesive layer, and then cut around the image^*1 to create a seal, sticker, or similar item.

To perform cutting, it is necessary to use the illustration software (Adobe Illustrator or other) and create cutting data.

There are two types of cutting: perforated cut which adds cuts at regular intervals, and cutting which cuts to a fixed depth.

This section explains how to create cutting data using Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW, which are typical pieces of illustration software. However, this section assumes that you are already familiar with the basic operations of each illustration software.
