Hey there! I'm a supplier of 80gsm Sticky Sublimation Paper, and today I wanna talk about whether this paper can be cut easily.
First off, let's understand what 80gsm Sticky Sublimation Paper is. The "80gsm" stands for 80 grams per square meter. This indicates the weight and thickness of the paper. A lower gsm generally means a thinner and lighter paper, while a higher gsm means a thicker and heavier one. For example, compared to 100gsm Sticky Sublimation Paper and 120gsm Sticky Sublimation Paper, our 80gsm paper is on the thinner side.
Now, when it comes to cutting, there are a few factors that come into play. One of the main things is the type of cutter you're using. If you're using a pair of good - quality scissors, the 80gsm Sticky Sublimation Paper should be a breeze to cut. The thinness of the paper allows the blades of the scissors to easily slice through it. You won't have to apply a whole lot of pressure, and you'll get a relatively clean cut.
For instance, I've had customers who do small - scale DIY sublimation projects at home. They use regular household scissors to cut our 80gsm paper into different shapes for their mugs, T - shirts, or other items. They've told me that it's really easy to handle and they can get nice, straight edges with minimal effort.
But what if you're in a more professional setting and need to do a large number of cuts? That's where a paper cutter comes in handy. A guillotine paper cutter, for example, can make quick work of our 80gsm Sticky Sublimation Paper. The sharp blade of the guillotine can cut through multiple sheets at once, as long as you don't stack too many. Usually, you can stack around 5 - 10 sheets of 80gsm paper and still get a clean cut.
Another option is a rotary cutter. This is great for cutting curves or irregular shapes. The circular blade of the rotary cutter can smoothly glide over the 80gsm paper, making it ideal for more creative projects. Whether you're cutting out a heart shape for a Valentine's Day sublimation or a circular design for a coaster, the 80gsm paper works well with a rotary cutter.
However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. The sticky part of the paper can sometimes cause a bit of trouble. The adhesive on the back of the paper can make it stick to the cutting surface or the blades of the cutter. This is especially true if the cutter isn't clean or if there's a build - up of residue on it.
To avoid this, make sure your cutting tools are clean before you start. You can use a bit of rubbing alcohol to wipe down the blades of your scissors or the cutting surface of your paper cutter. This will help prevent the paper from sticking and ensure a smoother cutting process.
Also, the humidity in the environment can affect the cutting process. If it's really humid, the paper might absorb some moisture, which can make it a bit more difficult to cut. The paper might become a bit softer and more prone to tearing. So, it's best to store the paper in a dry place and cut it in a well - ventilated area with a relatively low humidity level.
In comparison to the higher - gsm papers, the 80gsm Sticky Sublimation Paper definitely has an edge when it comes to cutting ease. The 100gsm Sticky Sublimation Paper is a bit thicker, so you'll need to apply a bit more pressure when cutting with scissors. And the 120gsm Sticky Sublimation Paper is even more challenging. It might require a more powerful cutter or a sharper blade to get a clean cut.
So, in conclusion, our 80gsm Sticky Sublimation Paper can be cut easily as long as you use the right tools and take a few precautions. Whether you're a hobbyist doing some fun projects at home or a professional in a sublimation business, this paper is a great choice for its cutting ease and versatility.
