Using the term "die cut" vinyl lettering

[mfatty500]

"stone in my shoe", new male​ contraception, stone in shoe, make you limp

 

[Vinyldog]

I think, "pebble" in my shoe is actually the correct terminology.

sticker/decal doesn't bother me, but i agree, diecut kinda drives me nuts....

How about Dictionary? A compendium of usage of which the editors were aware at the time it was published. A dictionary defines nothing. It is incapable of defining any word or term except 'Dictionary'. Often quoted by idiots in an ignorant attempt at argument which generates the fallacy 'Argumentum ad Lexicon' which, while not a formal fallacy, should damn well be one.

To the original post add 'font' for type face and any use of the word 'graphic' as a noun.

I ACTUALLY HAD A "DIE CUT" vinyl setup. no joke. it used 2" rolls of vinyl, and you had to take a metal raised letter plate, put in the slot above the vinyl, turn a hand crank that would "die cut" the metal plate in the vinyl, then you changed that plate to the next letter, and did this till you got the word you needed. sorta looked like a pasta maker)))

I think the word die cut would be used more often to describe the procedure to someone not in the business. Computer cut or vinyl cut lettering probably means squat to most end users.

Or in our line of business. Usually, diecutters run high volumes of the same job, not one-offs.

You are incapable of being a full human...
