Marker questions and costs

Various questions from various people on markers:

i have a undoubtedly regarding markers. i apologize if this seems like a silly question. are they re-usable? in other words, once a imitate is made and graded and the marker has been made and paid for should i be paying for a marker again when a second production run is done?

First of all, a marker is a tracing of all the pattern pieces needed to cut out a given style. A given marker is not reusable. The fabric is laid out, the marker laid over it and the cutter uses the lines to cut out the pieces. The marker is cut up as the fabric is. Below is a photo (courtesy) of a marker being cut.

These days though, the definition of a marker is blurring. Most markers are made by computer and saved as a file. In this context, a marker is reusable provided none of the details (number to cut, sizes, fabric width etc) have changed. It would be a mere matter of hitting “print” to generate a new marker.
