Hi Folks,
I'm printing some double-sided banners for a client on blockout banner material. I've done quite a few previously but never had much success accurately aligning the 2nd side to the 1st. In this instance the banners are quite small and the print length around 1400mm. Even so, the print length on the 2nd side, without any adjustment, was 7mm longer. I adjusted the image size (feed only) by a fraction to compensate for this, but the last batch I've just completed has sent me back to square one.
I am getting pretty close to the roll end, and it did occur to me this might have something to do with the issue - IMO the media always feels tighter the closer you get to the core. I've ordered a fresh roll for tomorrow and will try again. In the mean time , if any of you have any top tips for improving alignment on double sided jobs I'd be very grateful.
If it helps, I'm using RL7 and the image is centred on the media.
Apologies for the UK spellings and metric measurements.
