Best routine for working with very thin materials?
(Sorry for my English, its not my native language)
Hi, I am a first time cutter user! While owning another brand of the machine, I think people on this subreddit encounter with the same issues as I do.
I cut very thin holographic film(it’s not like a regular lamination sheet, it’s very thin as lamination foil) with the machine to then place it on the paper and run through laminator to bound. The result is similar to the picture(it’s just an example picture from Pinterest)
My problem is in transferring the design on the paper. If it’s one solid piece I avoid using transfer tape and just manually scrape it off th mat and put on the paper. Which tool should I use? I have weeder and it rips off the design.
If I do use the transfer tape with more complex designs it often bounds to the paper after lamination and makes its impossible to remove. When I use prelinted tape it wouldn’t bound after lamination but it also wouldn’t pick up good the design from the mat.
I would be glad to receive an advise on tools/materials/technics to improve my routine!
