Substrates
For traffic sign use, substrates found to be most reliable and durable are properly prepared aluminum sheets
and extrusions. Users are urged to carefully evaluate all other substrates for adhesion and sign durability.
Other substrates that may be satisfactory for proper application of sheeting will have the following characteristics:
• Clean
• Smooth
• Flat
• Rigid
• Dimensionally stable
• Weather resistant
• Non-porous
• High surface energy (passes water break test)
Substrates with low surface energy may require additional preparation such as flame treatment, mechanical abrasion
or use of adhesion promoters prior to sheeting application.Guide sign extrusions may be edge wrapped.Flat panels
or unwrapped extrusions are to be carefully trimmed so that sheeting from adjacent panels does not touch on assembled signs.
YS Reflective Material Utility Grade Reflective Sheeting RS-P3800 Series is designed primarily for applications to flat substrates. Any use that requires a radius of curvature of less than five inches should also be supported by rivets or bolts. Plastic substrates are not recommended where cold shock performance is required.
Imaging
YS Reflective Material Utility Grade Reflective Sheeting YS-P3800 Series may be processed into signs by any of the
imaging methods described below. Customers should test each application to meet their criterion before mass production.
1. Screen Processing
2. Ink Jet Printing
3. Applied Cut-Out Copy
Cutting
YS Reflective Material Utility Grade Reflective Sheeting YS-P3800 Series may be cut into letters and shapes of at least
3 inches in height and stroke widths of at least 1/2 inch.Smaller sizes are not recommended.The sheeting may be hand
cut or die cut one sheet at a time, and ban sawed or guillotined in stacks. Whenever two or more piece are used side
by side, they must be matched to assure uniform day color and night appearance.
YS Reflective Material Utility Grade Reflective Sheeting YS-P3800 Series is designed for use on electronic cutting
machines.In order to reduce the possibility of stress cracking,the inside corner of cut out letters and symbols should be
rounded using the largest radium consistent with appearance.Minimum Radium should be 1/8 inch on a 3 inch letter.
Plotter Cutting
Programmable knife cut (electronic cutting)
1. Flat-bed plotters can either die cut or kiss cut and offer the most consistent reliable performance.
2. Friction Fed plotter. Kiss cut only. Success has been achieved using plotters that have 600 grams of down force
and a 60° cutting blade. Additional drive wheels may need to be added to improve tracking. An alternative procedure is
to cut sheeting from the liner side. Blade force and knife depth must be set to score but not cut through the top film.
Break apart individual copy or apply pre mask to retain spacing.
3. Other Cutting Methods. YS Reflective Material Utility Grade Reflective Sheeting YS-P3800 Series may be hand
cut or die cut one sheet at a time,and band sawed or guillotined in stacks.Cutting equipment such as guillotines and metal
shears,which have pressure plates on the sheeting when cutting, may damage the optics.Padding the pressure plate and
easing it down onto the sheets being cut will significantly reduce damage. Maximum stack height for cutting reflective sheeting
is 1 ½ inch or 50 sheets.
