Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have been searching for something as simple and straight forward as this and finally came across your video.

Thank you for this video ! I’m currently training myself for better design/production skills and this was definitely a weak spot for me until now. Keep up the great content !

Great Video! I just have a question, in minutes 3:51 and after that when you were picking the magenta color I noticed it was RGB not CMYK even though the project's supposed to be for printing.. can you please explain this part because i got really confused. Thank you!

Hi,

I keep getting a dubble cutcontour line, even if i follow all your steps. Its a real small - but double line. When i use ctrl + y, it only shows 1 line and not two. But my printer keeps cutting 2 lines really near eachother. Any idea how to solve this?

i hope illustrator would create an automatic countor like the one in vinylmaster or signmaster. Maybe a plugin.

I have a 'CutContour' AND 'CutPath' in illustrator. Both are Magenta. What is the difference?

Hello, do you know how I can add registration marks in illustrator? I'm using i-Cut software and I'm unsure how to add them in for print/cut & what the marks should be separated as (like if placed into another layer, what it should be named, what size should the marks be, where to place them, how many, etc.)... unless maybe there is an addon or plugins/extension for Illustrator to use with iCut? Thanks

MINE PRINT THE MAGENTA LINES. HOW CAN I PREVENT THE PINK LINES TO PRINT?

What is a perf cut you mentioned at 04:12 ?

Damn any video I found for contour shows me how stupid and complicated AI is. It should be: select object click contur with distance and you are ready.

Was wondering if you could help me figure out on how to do the contour cut and add cut lines if you know how to for a Mx template? I’d be willing to Venmo you some cash

Your videos with the music is distracting and you are moving to fast through the steps.
