This page will help you with all the technical aspects of using the Roland GS24 vinyl cutter. Specifically we will be going over the print and cut process of printing a slightly modified image that the cutter can process and cut on certain lines.

	For common errors you might run into you can visit here: [https://files.rolanddga.com/Files/GS-24_UsersManual/Responsive_HTML5/index.htm#t=GS-24_USE_EN_11.html What to do if].		The cutter head, the piece that moves back and forth, can tell you if there is an error in the cutter. If the light being emitted is blue, all is good, if it is red, there is an error message on the screen.

	If the blade stops cutting smoothly, there might be a buildup of dirt or material inside the blade holder cap. You can see this by looking at the [[Changing the Blade]] section to remove the blade holder from the machine. Then you can loosen the cap on the blade and remove any lint or dirt inside. Before doing another print you should run another test to make sure the blade and blade holder have been properly reinserted into the machine.
