Need Help Bad Vinyl??

[jjh781]

Hey guys, I think I've gotten a roll of vinyl that's no good? What are the odds of that? I got a roll of oracal 3751GRA. I did a small print to check my colors before I started to print the job, and everything looked great. Then I started printing the job, and it looks like it has white spots all over it. I pulled the vinyl out about 4 feet and tried again, no change. I put in another piece from a previous roll and it printed fine.

Anyone seen this before or any advice? I'd questions if it was a printer/profile issue if it hadn't printed my test print great

There were some posts about that material a couple months ago with about the same problems. Do a search...

Some kind of surface contamination. Likely silicones from the release liner offsetting onto the vinyl. Return to supplier.

Yep, several of us got contaminated rolls of 3751GRA recently, just do a search for "contaminated". Return media to supplier for refund or exchange.

Be certain when you ask for a replacement to make sure your not getting another roll from the same bad batch. Tim at oracal will be able to tell you which suppliers got rolls in that batch. I learned this the hard way and just switched to 3m. Id had a total of 6-8 bad rolls of 3751 and gave up on there reliability.

Rolls should have a lot number inside the core. Note it and you can prevent getting additional defective rolls.
