  Hi All,

  Does any one know where I can get a large anti static mat to put under my Grenadier printer.

  From Mark

  dont know if that will help….
  the static is normally caused by unwinding a roll or rubbing near it… so the charge has to go somewhere, your body being the shortest path to earth.

  We had static issues on one of our printers with a polyprop material and tried all sorts. In the end we attached Anti-Static Tinsel to the media feed (this is true) so the tinsel was in contact with the media across the width, and then earthed it with a plug into a socket. This made it much better but not perfect.

  The main cause of a static problem is the humidity or lack of it where the printer is situated, you could try a humidifier by the printer but this is going to pump water into the atmosphere.
