Plotter Settings for ORACAL® 8300 Transparent Calendered Vinyl
Cutting Requirements
When using a plotter for cutting ORACAL® 8300 Transparent Calendered Vinyl, it's important to adjust the settings to accommodate its unique material properties. Ensure that the plotter blade is sharp and the pressure settings are optimal to achieve clean cuts without damaging the film.
- Recommended Settings: Start with a moderate pressure setting and conduct a test cut. Increase the pressure incrementally if the film is not fully cut through. The blade depth should be just enough to cut through the film but not the backing material.
- Speed Adjustments: The cutting speed may need to be reduced compared to standard vinyl to ensure precision. Slower speeds often result in more accurate and cleaner cuts, especially for intricate designs.
- Test Runs: Always perform a test run with a small design to fine-tune the settings. This helps in avoiding material waste and ensures the best cutting results for larger projects.
- Post-Cutting Handling: After cutting, weed the excess material carefully to prevent tearing or stretching. Use appropriate tools for weeding small or intricate parts.
