Whole new problem!!!
Doing a cut only job yesterday, everything is fine. Open up a new roll of black Sport Film light, I can not get a complete cut!
The vinyl is sticking (static), rolling up and ruining the cut and/or jamming the machine up. Throw in a scrap of black sport film...no problem, throw in a roll of white sport film....no problem, cut quickprint earlier today, no problem. What could possibly be causing this one roll to cling to the machine like that?
I have wiped with anti-static dryer sheets, fastened dryer sheets to the rollers wiped the vinyl down...nothing works.
I am at a loss. I am next going to try cutting the vinyl in sections and wipe down the non cut side with
dryer sheet and do the job piece by piece.
It;s just this one roll.

Does it look like this - check attached video
If so, it is a static problem and a stop static kit will fix it right away!
I have seen it a few times in different shops :) - Attachments:

Yes, that's what it is doing, like I said just this roll. Frustrating, because I have things that have to get done.
Still not understanding why it only does it on this roll and not others.

Some media, during the manufacturing process, can pick up a static charge that is compounded when you try to unroll and cut it. This particular roll has that. I have seen it more often in white but it can occur on any cut media.

Is there any kind of grounding that can be done to help? I could have a ground wire run to my cutting room easily.

The only thing I have seen reliably fix it is the stop static kit. - it is an ionized cord that removes the charge as it goes across into the printer.
