  10. Cast print vinyl vs cast white cut vinyl

    Does cast print vinyl, white, last as long not laminated as cast cut vinyl? I have assumed when out of the one, just use the other for cutting only. I was concerned the printed type may have less UV protection for it to accept ink better. I have in the past used the printed types when needed.

    What is a good starting point for the heaters? I am getting banding and my red letters are fuzzy. I bought this unit used and I do not think the previous owner ever got the settings right. I've had the unit a while now and I cannot depend upon it printing the same from one day to the next.
