vinyl thickness issues?

Recommended Posts

I have been noticing that when I use 2 of my colors of greenstar calendared 3mil vinyl that in some spots it dosent cut all the way threw yet 1/8in on either side its cut threw marking into wax backer like normal

do thicknesses vary that much on a roll

only noticed it in my 10 yrd of lime green and silver ...

 

had to recut a few decals due to it ... 

 

anyone else ever have this?..

What cutter are you using?  Could possibly be the pinch rollers on one side?

OK

 

Call me crazy but I have had the same issues with 651...No really.  I busted out the Digital Calipers  and yup...DIFFERENT.  

 

Red   .002

 

Green  .002.5

 

In my world it's different.  As thin as this stuff is I think thats enough to make a difference in a clean cut vs a pain in the butt
