Josh Ellsworth of Stahls’ affirms, “We’re eager to share with laser users a way to create another profit center with their laser equipment. Laser technology is an incredibly versatile tool for custom apparel decoration.”
Nine laser-safe and child-safe CAD-CUT® heat transfer films have been added to the Universal Laser Systems advanced materials database, and these new settings will be available to users in a ULS quarterly software update. An additional 19 CAD-CUT® transfer films will be included in future updates. Chuck Bosnos of Universal Laser Systems says, “Now customizing T-shirts, athletic uniforms, stretchable garments, fashion-wear and promotional items with Stahls’ thermal films has never been easier for ULS laser users.”
Laser technology is extremely accurate and provides the precision to produce highly intricate detail. Lasers have the ability to cut without physical contact with the material. This eliminates material stretching or tearing, distorted designs, and blade wear experienced with traditional cutters. Time savings is also a key benefit. Lasers can cut to a specified depth or “kiss cut,” and can also be set to cut completely through the film and carrier, significantly reducing weeding time. Intricate detail can be incorporated by utilizing raster laser ablation to etch detail onto thermal films, adding interest to designs.
