Have you ever had custom road sign letters (only) lasered using
anelectronic vinyl cutter (onto sticky peel-off letters only)?

I want to make a road sign from an electronic vinyl cutter, which is how
they make road signs of just all the letters (no background is printed).

I will be custom modifying PDF->PPT templates provided by the government.
https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/shsm_interim/

These electric vinyl cutters cut the letters out of a sheet of vinyl with a
laser and you get one sheet of material that you peel off all the letters
in a single step and place ONLY THOSE LETTERS onto the sign background.

It's not the kind of 1-piece vinyl sign you put on the side of your car.
Or the kind of 1-piece vinyl sign you put on your lawn to promote politics.

You peel the letters off their background in one step, and then you lay
those cutout sticky vinyl letters onto the sign background where the
background is not affected (usually the background is white or red).

The background of the sign remains what it was - as only the letters are
transferred to that sign background - where they peel away from the vinyl.

Anyone know of an Internet printer that uses the vinyl cutter process?
