test cut to ensure proper depth, speed
and down force. ThermoBanner™
is a relatively thick material and
requires a different cutting procedure
than other Specialty Materials films
for optimum cutting and weeding .
Reduce the cutting speed and adjust
the blade depth to produce accurate
cutting. Using a 60° blade can
also improve cutting. If slipping
or buckling occurs, apply application
tape along the edges on the bottom
side of the material to increase thickness
between the pressure rollers.
You can also apply ThermoBanner™
with a hand held iron or heat gun.
ThermoBanner™ requires a medium
amount of pressure to insure adhesion.
If you are attempting to apply with
an iron or heat gun, assistance will
be needed. After one person applies
sufficient heat to activate the film's
hot-melt adhesive, the other person
should immediately place pressure
on the film with a towel.
Let cool completely before removing
carrier sheet. Peel cold.
Please remember: This is a thicker
material so it is especially important
to perform test cuts before final
plotter cutting of your image.
