  Big time banding on Grey Back Polymeric Adhesive Vinyl

  Posted by Michael A on 16 January 2008 at 02:22

  Hi All

  I have just loaded my second stock i have ever used into my Roland VersaCamm 540 which is a 3yr Polymeric Grey Backed adhesive vinyl.

  I have gone through Simple & Advanced Bi-Directional, Calibration and Cutting settings and saved a profile using a lupe to check how accurately everything is aligned. When I print using the ‘Sandard’ setting it bands quite visibly, especially on dark blues. The vinyl I am using is not a ‘brand’ name that I am aware of – definitely not Avery or Oracle.

  I have selected ‘high quality’ and the banding has reduced quite considerably, but it still exists.

  The thing is I used a 1yr Monomeric Grey Backed adhesive vinyl previously of the same stock and did not see any banding using the ‘Standard’ print setting.

  Is there something I am missing here???

  Look forward to anyone shining some light on this one 🙂

  Cheers

  Michael

  Thanks for the suggestions guy. I will try get a pic up tonight 🙂

  I would slow the feed calibration and would I increase/de-crease the heat?

  Cheers

  I can’t remember if off the top of my head but feed calibration is done in the menu it prints two squares and you adjust the feed according to if they overlap or don’t touch.

  Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
