I did attempt a different vinyl (not 220) with a gerber foil and it still happened. Will definitely order the DYI kit, see if it helps. Thanks for the suggestion!

Update: Still no solution. Ran the manchine in 3' increments all day yesterday. More time consuming and wastes a bit more material for each run. BUT, it ran all day without issue. Came in this AM, loaded a new roll of vinyl, issues from the start. After 4 attempts, I put another new roll...

Doug, I did check them, on both sides they are intact and clean.

Thanks Fred. That's what I've been thinking at this point. It's been working great all morning. But that's been the deal for the last 3 days.

Not sure if this is helpful... Vid of the machine printing https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kfxhbhdgkk1l7oj/AAAPLl4X7vGITwGsgAPJ_U22a?dl=0 Then the photo is what it looks like right after the problem occurs

All in all, I'm really at a loss. I've tried everything I can think of, everything that's been suggested thus far. I'm wasting a good amount of material and really need to get this job done by tomorrow. At this point, since the mornings are usually quite successful in production, I'm going to...

Thanks Pat! "2 plastic strips" I did check those as well, besides a slight bend in one, they are clean. For the arm assembly, I took a look at that also but didn't notice anything "out of the ordinary" when the machine is open. When printing, there's a tick-tick sorta sound that coincides...

Thanks gabagoo! Is there anyway for me to check if this is the case?

Thanks Marlene! I would agree this could be the problem, but I've experienced my problem with 4 different rolls, one of which is a different brand all together.

Thanks eddesign, I cleaned these yesterday to make sure there wasn't any adhesive causing the issue. At the time they moved freely but did have some build up. Unfortunately, I'm still experiencing the problem.

Thanks again Fred! I'm quite sure I'm loading it properly, as I stated in another response, I've been running the machine without issue for the last year. I've also work with other sprocket feed machines beyond the current equipment that I have, for the last 8 years.

I have cleaned and lubricated the pins, that was done yesterday. The sprocket that moves, moves fluidly. Avery 900 and ZeroNine Foils I loaded a roll of Briteline with a different color foil from what I was using, still happened. See photos, the first is the "pull" on the sprocket closest to...

Thanks again Fred! The side the issue is occurring on is the stationary sprocket. There's a noticeable pull/stretch (in the forward direction) on the perfs on only the side with the stationary sprocket. The side you sent in the photo, there's no pull in the vinyl. Now, with that being said...

I cleaned the sprockets from any buildup yesterday when the issue first began. The majority of the perfs are clean, but occasionally there will be one hanging. What I find curious is... the vinyl feeds cleaning when not printing. As soon as I go to lay a foil down, the issue begins and it's...

Fred, Thanks for the suggestions! I did try each one by one, and while none of them eliminated the "stress" on the vinyl during printing, I've YET to have issues with a run. I noticed the top of the foil has a curl to it, could this be the culprit? I'm anticipating the issue again, as I had...

I can feed the vinyl through the machine without issue. As soon as I start printing, there's stress on the punched part of the vinyl, nearest me, which causes the vinyl to slip off the sprockets and the job to be ruined. At first it would happen about 6' in a run. Then it started...

Have you turned it off?

What have you done to try to correct the issue? Have you eliminated anything?

Ditto. What's the details, maybe we could all offer better suggestions then.?.
