psychoCutter 1 Posted September 17, 2011 Just curious if anyone is having issues with Oracal 631 vinyl from US Cutter? I've had 2 rolls of black so far that just plain refuse to adhere to the tape. I must say I called US Cutter they recognized the problem and fired a new roll to me. I've had it happen on a few other colors in the past week now so I will work on an exchange for them too. Anyone else have any type of experience like this? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mb20music 760 Posted September 17, 2011 you need a high tack transfer tape for 631 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psychoCutter 1 Posted September 17, 2011 I do use a high tack. Happens mainly on black and I've noticed another color or two. Hasn't happened until the last few orders I've received from US Cutter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxanneupnorth 106 Posted September 17, 2011 Was it from US Cutter warehouse or drop shipped? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psychoCutter 1 Posted September 19, 2011 I ordered through uscutter so I'll assume their warehouse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxanneupnorth 106 Posted September 19, 2011 US Cutter drops ships a lot of the stuff they sell so you can not make that assumption......Look up the tracking number and see if you can see the route it took.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psychoCutter 1 Posted September 19, 2011 Shipped from Memphis, TN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxanneupnorth 106 Posted September 19, 2011 Maybe not fresh then....There should be date codes on the box and/or roll... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted September 19, 2011 I've had similar issues when my blade is out too far. It will cut into the backing paper and then for some reason not want to come off on the transfer tape. It may not be your problem but try backing off the blade just a hair. Jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psychoCutter 1 Posted September 19, 2011 Thanks for the replies. Jay I took a good look and I'm certain I'm good with pressure and depth. No intrusion into the paper. I also had a 2 rolls of black that felt rather brittle. These were exchanged. But starting to notice a few other colors as mentioned earlier. Not sure if their warehouse has an issue where this vinyl is being store or if like roxanneupnorth says 'not fresh'. Oh well. I appreciate the replies again and we'll see what happens from here.

deftone 4 Posted January 11, 2012 I know this is an old post, but I had the same thing happen to me. I believe it was 3 different rolls of Black (purchased at different times) and a roll or 2 of Brown. The adhesive was too sticky, gooey and the vinyl was brittle. I got a lot of complaints and returns from customers. Not a good time! I started a post about it actually. I ended up changing suppliers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
