CNC Vinyl Cutting

[Leadhead]

Nick - Can I ask if you are using sticky back or laminated media.

[magicniner]

I use masking vinyl, it's adhesive backed.
I also use a blast resist material for blast etching logos on parts, that's adhesive backed too.
Is there any point having a non-adhesive-backed vinyl for masking? Why would it be "laminated" and with what?

I use Aslan 85[?] masking film, I buy it from Dorotape.

Graffian - Many thanks. I ordered a little to try.

Aslan 85 is an water-based-adhesive backed PVC film, it's not a laminate ;-)

Nick - I will tell it that as peel the backing off!

So that makes all adhesive backed vinyl for plotter style cutters a laminate and obviates the need to specify a product that is a laminate! ;-)
Funnily enough none of the manufacturers describe their product that way, perhaps they're all wrong ;-P
