Cosmo Kid 0 Posted September 19, 2016 i have the 54in titan 3 and i can not get it to cut reflective vinyl. does anyone have a setting that will work? has anyone used that cutter to cut reflective vinyl? I have gone throw about 10ft of material trying different settings with no luck. it's the 3m high intensity.. PLEASE PLEASE HELP...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 19, 2016 I cut 3m engineering grade all the time with the graphtec that doesn't have the downforce of the titan - which 3m reflective is it - I also have a roll of 3m 3437 that I don't think there is a cutter made that will cut thru that - I use it for backing on street number signs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mb20music 760 Posted September 19, 2016 Well all I can say is use a 60 degree blade (will probably need a lot of exposed blade) and use the highest pressure/force setting the machine has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmo Kid 0 Posted September 20, 2016 It's the 3m hi intensity prismatic 3931. I have tried all different blade depths and pressure along with multiple passes. it will cut throw the material but will not cut throw the sticky layer. I really hope I don't have to manually cut it.

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 20, 2016 3m spec sheet says Plotter Cutting Programmable knife cut (electronic cutting) 1. Flat bed plotters can either die cut or kiss cut and offer the most consistent reliable performance. 2. Friction Fed plotter. Kiss cut only. Success has been achieved using plotters that have 600 grams of down force and a 60º cutting blade. Additional drive wheels may need to be added to improve tracking. An alternative procedure is to cut sheeting from the liner side. Blade force and knife depth must be set to score but not cut through the topfilm. Break apart individual copy or apply premask to retain spacing. I would throw in a new cleancut blade if I was trying to cut that - if it is like mine it is closer to a thin sheet of plexi than the normal vinyl we use Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmo Kid 0 Posted September 25, 2016 Yah it is close to thin plexiglass. No matter what I do all I can do it is grt it to cut throw the reflective part but not throw the glue layer thus making it impossible to weed without ripping.. thanks for the input and helping a newbie.

mihaidimitras 3 Posted May 13, 2019 Hi i have the same Titan 3 and the same material 3m 3931 for me the setting that works is pressure 650- 675 and a 60 deg blade. Instead using a lot of material just use a piece and the test button until you get a perfect cut and the depth that you need and go from there . The second option would be to cut twice( 2 passes on the same path) . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
