How to properly cut sticky sublimation paper?

Here are the steps on how to properly cut sticky sublimation paper:

1. Preparation

The right tools: Prepare a pair of sharp scissors or a utility knife to ensure that the paper can be cut cleanly when cutting, reducing the possibility of burrs and tears. If you need to do a lot of cutting or require high precision, you can also prepare a paper cutter.

Flat workbench: Choose a flat, clean work surface to place the paper and perform cutting operations to avoid the paper being affected by debris during the cutting process or uneven cutting due to an uneven surface.

Measuring tools: Prepare a ruler or tape measure to measure and mark the size to be cut. If you need precise cutting, you can also use more precise measuring tools such as calipers.

2. Cutting Steps

Measurement and marking: According to actual use needs, use measuring tools to measure and mark the size and shape to be cut on the sticky sublimation paper. If you are cutting into a standard rectangle or square, make sure that all four corners are right angles and the side lengths meet the required specifications.

Fix the paper: Place the marked paper on the work surface and fix one end or edge of the paper with a weight or clip to prevent the paper from moving during the cutting process and affecting the cutting accuracy.

Start cutting: Use scissors or a utility knife to cut along the marked line. If you use scissors, keep the scissors blade perpendicular to the paper and cut smoothly along the marked line; if you use a utility knife, adjust the blade of the utility knife to the appropriate length, use a ruler or other auxiliary tools as a guide, and cut at a uniform speed along the marked line.

Check and correct: After cutting, check whether the cutting edges are neat and whether there are burrs, gaps or uneven areas. If so, use scissors or a utility knife to make appropriate corrections.

During the cutting process, pay attention to reasonably planning the cutting plan according to the specific transfer pattern and item size to minimize paper waste. At the same time, if you have high precision requirements for the shape and size after cutting, it is recommended to conduct a small-scale test cutting first to ensure that the final cutting effect meets expectations.
