Why the in270 Mark Chokes Vinyl Cutters (And the File That Fixes It)
The in270 mark carries far more anchor points than a typical logo because it's traced from real OpenStreetMap road data, which means low-quality files choke vinyl cutters on curves like the Grove City hook. This post explains how to pull the correct cutter-ready SVG from the download kit, why the minimum size rule matters even more for cutting than screen display, and why shop owners inside the loop can skip the file question entirely with the free window cling program.
