Large printed images on a substrate such as a vinyl material can be produced by apparatus which prints the image on a web (13) of the substrate material, then cuts the imaged area from the web at a separate cutting station. In the preferred embodiment the web is advanced on a pin sprocket transport system through the printing (10) and cutting stations, with an index mark (M) applied to the web being used by microprocessor control equipment to superimpose the image and the cutting means (50). The image can be manipulated digitally. Stencils for screen printing at the printing station can be created from the stored image data at the cutting station. |
