"Not a problem, just for future - know that you will some over the distance of your cut - there is a document that talks you through doing smaller amounts to increase accuracy. Most here would add a larger bleed if the design can stand it. Happy…"

Damion Anderson replied to Damion Anderson's discussion Cut alignment off"Hi Irving,
We are cutting multiple rows. Aprox. 10 at a time. The cuts start out fine on the first row and then increasingly worse on each subsequent rows. I am using Orajet3165ra. Two rollers. We checked both the scan cut and feed cut and adjusted…"
irving donaldson replied to Damion Anderson's discussion Cut alignment off"Damion not enough information to assist. For instance are you cutting 1 row at a time and now they are no longer correct, or are you cutting 10 rows and when you get to the eighth row the last two rows are off. Which type of media, how many rollers,…"

We are trying to cut 3" circles on our roland sp-300. They were cutting fine and then all of sudden started cutting unevenly. We did a print/cut adjust and it is still happening. Anyone have any pointers for me or anything else I should be checking?Thanks,DamionSee More

Damion Anderson replied to Damion Anderson's discussion Bumper Sticker Edges Curling"Di,
You nailed it! A large portion of our business is bumper stickers. We are also recreating
high quality art on another one of our sticker lines. I am constantly trying to educate the
customers and artists we license on the new technology that is…"
CYW replied to Damion Anderson's discussion Bumper Sticker Edges Curling"Damion, I totally understand your customer's mentality.
I have a few 'old fashioned' customers that still believe the heavier, the better too.
It's a habit hard to break. I have trouble finding them the thickest,…"
Damion Anderson replied to Damion Anderson's discussion Bumper Sticker Edges Curling"Thank you again! Your info is very helpful. The only reason we have been going with the thick is due to customer requests and complaints. We just made the switch from Screen printed to digital this past year and some of our customers have…"
CYW replied to Damion Anderson's discussion Bumper Sticker Edges Curling"Damion, I mostly use 3165RA for calendered and 3751RA for cast.
With both, I can cut through a colored bleed area and don't get curling.
Just to clarify, because I think perhaps this thread is getting very confusing...............if you use the…"
Damion Anderson replied to Damion Anderson's discussion Bumper Sticker Edges Curling"Do you mind telling me which Oracal and Arlon's you are using? I have 3164 and 3165ra on the way to me.
Thanks,
Damion"
Damion Anderson replied to Damion Anderson's discussion Bumper Sticker Edges Curling"Thank you for your info! I have Oracal on the way to me right now to try. We had tried their 3 mil when we first got our printer and didn't like the thickness and were turned toward the Hexis vinyl by a sales rep who said Oracal didn't…"
John Miller replied to Damion Anderson's discussion Bumper Sticker Edges Curling"A metalized film is totally different than a pvc only vinyl film. I have always seen metalized (chrome, brushed silver ect) vinyls peel up. I had a guy send me some test pieces once and they were so badly curled in the mail that it was un-usable by…"
Simon Rose replied to Damion Anderson's discussion Bumper Sticker Edges Curling"Not trying to start an argument here, just an example to illustrate that it is not just down to lamination. I did some prints (black and red) onto the following material.

John Miller replied to Damion Anderson's discussion Bumper Sticker Edges Curling"What your not understanding is they are curling because there is NO LAMINATE. Anytime you cut into a bleed line with NO LAMINATE you will get curling on heavy ink coverage."
Butch replied to Damion Anderson's discussion Bumper Sticker Edges Curling"+1 for CYW . I cut into the ink all the time. I use a Sp300v and use the profiles for Oracal straight from Oracal. If I do have curling it is because I forgot to use the profile and oversatuarated the vinyl with ink."
