Cutting
YillumaxTM
Super Engineering Grade Prismatic Reflective Sheeting
EP7920 Series may be cut into letters and shapes of at
least 3 inches in height and stroke widths of at least 1/2
inch. Smaller sizes are not recommended. Sealing cut edges
of YillumaxTM
Reflective Material Super Engineering Grade Prismatic
Reflective Sheeting EP7920 Series is NOT
required.
Plotter Cutting
Programmable knife cut (electronic cutting)
1. Flatbed plotters can either die cut or kiss cut and
offer the most consistent reliable performance.
2. Friction Fed plotter. Kiss cut only. Success has been
achieved using plotters that have 600 grams of down force
and a 60° cutting blade. Additional drive wheels may need
to be added to improve tracking. An alternative procedure
is to cut sheeting from the liner side. Blade force and
knife depth must be set to score but not cut through the
top film. Break apart individual copy or apply premask to
retain spacing.
3. Other Cutting Methods
YillumaxTM
Reflective Material Super Engineering Grade Prismatic
Reflective Sheeting EP7920 Series may be hand cut or die
cut one sheet at a time, and band sawed or guillotined in
stacks. Cutting equipment such as guillotines and metal
shears, which have pressure plates on the sheeting when
cutting, may damage the optics. Padding the pressure plate
and easing it down onto the sheets being cut will
significantly reduce damage. Maximum stack height for
cutting reflective sheeting is 1 ½ inch or 50
sheets.
