I posted pictures of one of the PCBs I made using my vinyl cutter.
You can get the swivel knife holders used to cut vinyl that are in
pen bodies to fit many plotters, but then you have to take care of
offset compensation in software. 

I cut the vinyl, weeded it, and transfered it onto the PCB blank. I
suppose you could stick shelf paper to the PCB and cut and weed it
on the PCB.

I was going to give a link right into the files, but Yahoo groups
says it is busy right now.

So here it is from memory, look at the appropriate folder:
