cutting screen printed polycarbonate

[Denise Goodfellow]

or once screen printed you can get them punched out, there will be a cost for the knife, normally £20 – £80 ish, but would depend upon the size, then approx 30p per item punched.

I have used Aristo flat bed cutters for this sort of work before and can recommend them.
If you contact Alan at Applied Cutting Systems, he could give you some advice as Aristo agent in the UK, he sells both new and second hand units.

For that kind of qty I’d agree with Denise and say its definitely a die cutting job, after they’ve been screen printed.

Hummm , any idea on the cost of a die cutting machine that can handle a 2′ x 3′ sheet ?

Sorry but the only ones i’ve seen are the old heidelberg platens and they are large and heavy machines – haven’t got a clue on price.

Cheers John

cheers John , the Job won’t be a one "hit" it will be spread over a period of time .

so potentially i think a flat bed could do it .Not that i know anything about flat bed cutters that is .

that’s why I’m here 😀

Type in Heidelberg platen into fleabay and theres one up for £750.00 at the moment – not sure if you need to convert it or if its just a case of getting a cutting forme made.

It may be worth sending the guy a message and asking a few questions.

Cheers John
