I know cutting ordinary reflective ruins your blade so I imagine diamond grade the blade won’t even touch it unless you put the pressure up and maybe wind the blade tip down a bit may work don’t know but if it’s just squares or stripes can you not cut them by hand ?

Don’t think you’ll cut it with any normal roll fed plotter Brian. I think you can cut it on heavy duty flat bed machines but I’d not risk knackering your plotter if i were you !

You’ll never kiss cut it with a ‘normal’ plotter. The only possibility is to cut on the reverse (creating a score line) and snap out. Even still, you’d probably have to do a few passes. Also, it curls like a bugger and is almost impossible to keep flat on any plotter other than a flat bed with a vacuum hold down bed.

well ill Take your advice Nigel and not bother …..it was just a thought .The customer had seen the police traffic cars and asked what it was . But he can make do with ordinary reflective .its just a few lines of lettering on transit
