Pastimes 0 Posted April 27, 2010 Not sure if this should be posted under "Vinyl" or "Cutters", but here goes: I've cut a lot of heat press vinyl and moved into sign vinyl (specifically Oracal 651). What is happening is that the grit texture from the cutter's roller is being embedded by the rubber pinch rollers into the vinyl itself. It actually mars the surface of the vinyl the length of the cut on both sides! I use the Lasercut 24". There is no tension adjustment for the pinch roller and this does not happen with heat transfer vinyl. I'm careful to have slack on the vinyl so that it's not being pulled too tightly. Anyone have any ideas as to what is going on here? It's becoming a costly problem. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted April 27, 2010 The grit texture will disappear when applied . . . Just one of the differences in the cutters. It is not a problem but when you get to a copam or higher machine they use a different roller design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest YHC Posted April 27, 2010 I agree, I use the LP myself and know what your talking about with the roller trails. But I haven't had any problems with them showing up on any of my work when applied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyrophire 0 Posted April 28, 2010 Like Dakota and LDS said, the texture that gets pressed into the vinyl will go away after application for vinyl and after being heatpressed on to shirts for transfer material. Nothing to worry about, just something to deal with meanwhile you weed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
