Kiss Cutting Vinyl with a DYSS Digital Cutter
Kiss cutting vinyl is a popular method of making custom decals, stickers, and labels. The DYSS digital cutter, known for its versatility and precision, is an excellent tool for achieving clean, accurate kiss cuts. A special Kiss-cutting Knife Tool (KKT) is availble for the DYSS X5 and X7.
Kiss cutting involves cutting through the top layer of material—such as vinyl—while leaving the backing sheet intact. This makes it easy to peel off the cut shapes from the underlying material. A KKT on a DYSS digital cutter is able to do this so precisley due to the adjustments available on the KKT which allows users to fine-tune the pressure applied and the cutting depth. Whether you're working with vinyl for signage, promotional stickers, or product labels, the DYSS machine delivers consistent, sharp cuts at exactly the right depth. The adjustable pressure setting enables the tool to ride any miniscule variations in mat thickness so that the blade always cuts to the correct depth. You can also adjust the blade slightly deeper so that the material is cut through rather than kiss cut.
Additionally you can use a kiss cut tool for intricate detail work on carton board, for example, the KKT enables precise and delicate cuts along lines and arcs with a crisp, clean finish. This technique is perfect for creating detailed packaging designs. With the right settings, a kiss cut tool can produce complex shapes, perforations, or decorative elements on carton board.
