prettybird 0 Posted June 12, 2009 Hello, I am having trouble with my vinyl curling along the edges after I print and then contour cut it. After an hour or so, it starts to curl. Any idea why this would happen? I was wondering if it's too cheap of vinyl or something. I am using some vinyl that came with my Roland so I don't know what kind it is.

firemalt 10 Posted June 12, 2009 Is this the only type of vinyl you're run through the machine? Is it not drying fast enough or maybe too fast?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bayshorecreations 30 Posted June 12, 2009 We need a little more info, what kind of vinyl are you using, what kind of ink are you using, etc.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firemalt 10 Posted June 12, 2009 The poster says the vinyl came with their Roland printer, so the brand is unknown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bayshorecreations 30 Posted June 12, 2009 Not necessarily, I cant imagine you buy a printer and they supply you with some vinyl but dont tell you what the vinyl is... also, what kind of ink are you running? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prettybird 0 Posted June 12, 2009 I don't know what kind of vinyl it is. The ink is Eco-Sol Max. My heater is set to 50 and this is the only type of vinyl I have tried so far. We just got the machine not too long ago so I don't have any other vinyl yet. I curled even when I printed something with no heat at all and someone told me not to set the heater any higher than 50.

prettybird 0 Posted June 12, 2009 We bought the printer used and the person just gave us a roll of vinyl but didn't say what kind it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firemalt 10 Posted June 12, 2009 No markings on the backside, not even a brand name?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prettybird 0 Posted June 12, 2009 There are just lines and squares on the back, no names of any kind. I unrolled it all the way to the cardboard roll and there isn't any writing any where. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bayshorecreations 30 Posted June 12, 2009 I would say start with trying a good vinyl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James605 7 Posted June 12, 2009 Is it a roland printer? Both of my rolands came with 3 sample rolls of roland vinyl... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prettybird 0 Posted June 12, 2009 It is a Roland printer, but we bought it from someone on ebay, not from Roland or any store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
