Catch Basket

I have no idea what you would call it but i am looking for something that will catch and roll the print up before it hits the ground. I've seen them on some graphtec plotters and others but does anyone know where i can buy a universal type of basket. I cant seem to keep my floors clean enough and on my long prints they of course hit the floor and i get a hair or some spec in between the print and laminate. Thanks for any help.

I call it, a Media Catch Basket

You can make one out of banner material or window screen material, hem the two ends with a rod pocket and use 1/2" emt conduit cut to fit your application, mount to your printer with some conduit clamps and fittings, you can find everything at HD or Lowe's.

Or use flat Aluminum bar stock and rod for your support (see photo).

If you can make a sign, you can do this.

Or you can buy one from SW for $625
