Reflective Heating Transfer Sheeting Specifically Designed for Plotter Cutting

  • Because of the thicker plastic film carrier, it doesn’t curl when reverse cutting and the film carrier is not cut during cutting. The plastic film holds together the designs and letters cut on the film when cutting. This makes it easier to weed and remove unwanted materials.
  • There is a very strong cohesive force between the plastic film carrier and the glass beads. This ensures that the logo stays on the film when cutting and weeding – the logo or design doesn’t easily fall.
  • The sticky or adhesive layer holds the logo on to the film carrier during cutting and weeding. When a mistake is done during weeding, it could be reversed and this is good for thin logos. The heat transfer process is faster, efficient and convenient because the sticky layer binds the logo onto the fabric when the heat is applied to it.
