  1. Curling Issue with laminated vinyl post-plotting

    Sure have, and everything yields the same results. We are also running the laminator with the highest tension on the vinyl and the least amount of tension on the lam that I can get away with. This encourages the stickers to curl downwards which is far favorable than upwards due to the way they...
  2. Curling Issue with laminated vinyl post-plotting

    I am not the one who set up how and why we print the way we do. I was told this is the way it must be done, so thats how its being done. As far as a border, that again is out of my hands. Bosses want full bleed so theyre getting full bleed. We have tested cast materials and are getting the same...
  3. Curling Issue with laminated vinyl post-plotting

    Its cal vinyl and we're doing an 8 pass print on an HP Latex 570 Just to add, I am not the one making the decision on whether or not to buy a new laminator. I am merely a cog.
  4. Curling Issue with laminated vinyl post-plotting

Unfortunately, I cannot control the design of what I am printing, I merely print...

  7. Curling Issue with laminated vinyl post-plotting

    The printer cures the ink as its printing, so everything is completely dry before it gets laminated.
  8. Curling Issue with laminated vinyl post-plotting

    We are using BriteLine vinyl and lam. I have tried plotting unlaminated and they lay perfectly flat, but higher-ups insist on laminate. I did try adjusting pressure settings as well, with minimal change in curling, but with a significant increase in silvering.
  9. Curling Issue with laminated vinyl post-plotting

    I am currently printing on an HP Latex 570 (typically printing around 40 meters at a time) on 3 mil vinyl and then laminating on a Royal Sovereign RSC-1402HW laminator with 3 mil matte laminate. Once the stickers have been plotted, the edges always curl up. I have played with the tension on the...
