Heat tranfer vinyl

I’m sure the manufacturer of the material would inform you of any safety hazard if asked.

Good luck

Equally good, depending on the power settings on the laser.
Too high and you blast the carrier sheet off. Toow low and they don’t cut.

I think Stewey is right it is reasonable to expect the sising (glue that sticks the HTV to the fabric) is going to be harmed by the heat of the laser even tho’ ever so slightly. if the edge is not secure it leads to peeling.

Just an update - we have a couple of plotters, and a couple of lasers.
ALL the laser-compatible polyurethane HTV I have lasered, has in time, failed - hence I only plot the stuff now.
I believe it is contaminants getting at the adhesive while being lasered perhaps, or the adhesive being otherwise affected.
Plotting simply works and lasts - for us.
