Anybody having issues with 3m ij35c-10

[StopSignGraphics]

I've had two rolls in the last few weeks that is behaving oddly. It seems to be shrinking an excessive amount after trimming and the adhesive also seems much more aggressive than usual.

Thanks,
Chris

It is hit or miss here too.
Some shrink bad after cutting even without full ink coverage.
Glue is always too aggressive here in the tropics.

I always thought 3M was the best vinyl ever.

Even someone as bad as the son of Zeus can experience "shrinkage" due to adverse environmental conditions......

We were planning on making it our go-to for vinyl, and had to quickly abandon it. The labels we make for our display cases (about 11" wide) were shrinking as much as 1/8", and we had to completely re-do a wall wrap after the seams, which had a 1/2" overlap, shrunk to the point of completely separating from eachother, and curling.

It's been our go to vinyl for our cheaper offerings and I've run lots of the stuff with good results. This amount shrinkage is new. Not sure what's going on.

Oracal 3164XRA or Arlon 4500GX are both good comparable products to IJ35.
