 Re: Reflective vinyl question????
Just got my "reflective gold" from "Imprintables" last night. I cut it and found that needed 30 grams more pressure than my regular vinyl since it's so thin (150 grams/pressure with my US Cutter Refine). Weeding was easy with that pressure of a cut and it didn't come even close to cutting the clear transfer backing.
The instructions that came with mine were to press for 10 seconds at 300 degrees, and to peel warm. I did exactly as instructed and the letters still wanted to stick to the clear transfer. I let it cool a bit longer and it seemed to adhere better.
After the initial press and peel... I needed to press with a teflon sheet and seal it up... again 10 seconds at 300. It worked perfectly. The seal is nice. It doesn't quite melt to the material like normal heatpress vinyl... but it seals up well. I have to put it to the laundry test to see how it washes. |
