Laser test: HEYsign textiles

Laser cutting of printable polyester fabrics

Material

HEYsign textiles are high-quality, PVC-free materials based on polyester that have been specially developed for digital printing. They are characterised by high tear resistance, excellent colour brilliance, good lightfastness and dimensional stability. Typical areas of application include banners, exhibition construction, wall coverings, lightbox applications and POS systems. Tested materials:

ecotex® frontlit
ecotex® mesh
ecotex® decoflex‑R
digitex® decoflex
digitex® decoflex display plus
digitex® decoflex whitenight soft
digitex® decoflex whitenight
digitex® decoflex nightfever
digitex® luxor
digitex® decoflex luxor
digitex® decoflex doubleface
digitex® superior
ceilstar® premium

Test setup

The tests were carried out on a cutting machine of the 3XL-3200 type with a 400 W CO₂ laser source. The integrated Conveyor System enabled automated processing directly from the roll. The aim was precise, distortion-free cutting with clean edges – even for printed variants with intricate contours.

Results

All tested textiles proved to be excellently suited for CO₂ laser processing. The edges were smooth, fused and free from fraying. Even complex contours were cut with high precision. Cutting quality remained consistent across the entire material width – ideal for large-format applications. Recommended laser power: 60 W.
