TomPattiDesign 1 Posted February 22, 2012 I am wondering what folks use as a backing material for cutting films that don't come from the manufacturer with backing materials? I am running a Graphtec FC8000-130 and I would like to cut a few specialty materials that are .0006" polycarbonate. These however don't have a backing material. What do I do if I want to run them through the plotter/cutter? Is there a material/adhesive film/transfer-tape-type-film that can be applied to substitute a "backing material"?

MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted February 22, 2012 people use that Cricut mat/carrier sheets, that can be bought at Walmart. EBAY etc. I don't know how big you are cutting, if it would be big enough. http://www.buycheapr...mats+for+cricut Just an example I bet you LOVE that machine... I have the FC7000-75 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edge 67 Posted February 22, 2012 I believe you had the answer in your question; transfer tape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomPattiDesign 1 Posted February 23, 2012 @Skeeter. I think Carrier Sheets are the answer. Graphtec even sells it's own version as well. Go figure. Did I just show my greeness? Yikes. Cheers and thanks for the lead. Onward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
