Plotter Cutting

Heat transfer films are materials designed to be applied to textiles under the effect of heat (thermo-adhesive). They can be used to personalise clothing, accessories, decorative items and furnishings by adding designs, logos or text. Manufactured in France to offer long-lasting adhesion, these vinyls are wash-resistant and healthy for you and the environment. They are ideal for textile customisation projects, sewing, garment repair, upcycling or decorating various pieces of upholstery fabric.

Cutting parameters

The blade holder should absorb the pressure, not the blade tip. The blade ought to protrude from the holder only by the thickness of the material being cut, safeguarding the blade, the holder, and the cutting bar.

Blade holder

The blade holder is one of the most important parts of a drag knife plotter. It is fitted with ball bearings that require a drop of oil from time to time. The blade holder is a consumable item that should be changed in the event of recurring cutting problems.

Cutting bar

Check your Teflon tape regularly. If the grooves are too deep, it will be difficult to cut small details. The tip of the blade always falls back into the grooves.
