Are there any helpful hints for lining up vinyl so it doesnt go off track? I can only seem to get about 1 1/2 meters before it goes squiffy, I have a c5000-60.
Hi Simon. The way I do it with my CE5000 is to use the guides at the front of the machine and pull maybe 6 – 8 inches forward to make sure the vinyl is perfectly lined up. Using the Roll 1 setting the machine will pull it back for you so you don’t waste anything. I did a 16 foot off road tyre tread design last week and it didn’t shift at all. I don’t use the media stand at the back though. I just leave the roll on the floor and pull enough out to make sure the pinch rollers aren’t under too much pressure.
the method I use and its pretty much sail safe,
Put the vinyl in place, with the rollers up, then from the rear, feed the vinyl under the bed and line the edges up with the front section. pull taught and lower the rollers. then make sure the roll is lined up with the loose material
