Instructions
Whenever two or more pieces of V-REFLEX™ Reflective Material - Transfer Film are used together on a single surface or as a set, they should be matched to ensure uniform daytime color and nighttime retro reflectivity. All high visibility safety garments should be constructed in accordance with the appropriate standard (s).
Cutting and Plotting -
Die cutting is recommended, although it can also be hand-cut or guillotined. When apply
V-REFLEX™Reflective Material – Transfer Film to plotter for images cutting, remove adhesive side liner (if that product has one), the protective PET film on the surface of reflective side should be used as the carrier until plotted images are applying (laminating) to target substrate.
Printing
Images may be printed on the surface of some V-REFLEX™ Reflective Material – Transfer Film. All inks should be continuously tested to ensure acceptable adhesion in the event of change occurring in the manufacturing process or composition of the ink. Prior to printing, wiping the surface with a soft cloth lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol may help ink adhesion. Printed are as will not be retro reflective.

1- Work on a flat surface where uniform heat and pressure can be applied. Avoid applying film over seams and stitches.
2- Remove adhesive side line (if that product has one), exposing dry adhesive. Do not remove reflective side liner.
3- Place V-REFLEX™ Reflective Material - Transfer Film on substrate with the adhesive side down and apply heat and pressure as described in the table below. Place a non-stick slip sheet between the platen and laminating surface to prevent any excess adhesive transfer contamination.
4- Allow application to cool to room temperature before removing the liner covering the reflective side (if that product has one). Place application on a flat surface and remove the liner by lifting one corner and pulling (about 45oangle) in a continuous, smooth manner.
