Material wrinkling when using “Rollover” table

[Jamie Wood]

We do ours so that the tape goes around the roller, so that it’s tensioned, not straight from the app tape roll to under the roller, if this makes sense. Can you put the mounts on the opposite side of the roller? If not, you could just turn the app tape roll around.

is the room your working in cold? this can happen if so.
also, is your cutting matt heavily used and cut on?

To me this is alignment issue. Something is not as flat as it suppose to be. Maybe the rubber mat needs changing? Or some screws needs tightening on the frame?

It’s where the paper tape is expanding. If you wrap the tape around the roller, and apply in the opposite direction, it will sort this out.

Thanks for the advice guys. We noticed on the Rollover that one of the media holder brackets wasn’t sitting properly in the machine when the weight of the roll was on it so we’ve fitted them in place with a couple of small screws. We’ve also changed how we load the roll as suggested by Jamie. The room it’s in would be a normal unheated warehouse although all materials and printers in a separate room with dehumidifier running constantly. We ordered a replacement cutting mat yesterday as the one we have is a few years old. Everything’s aligned prior to rolling as much as we possibly can. Hopefully these things together will solve our problem, only time will tell. It’s very frustrating at the minute 🙁 Will let you know how we get on
