Dual rolls on valuejet?

[CheapVehicleWrap]

I was just thinking, how do you mount dual rolls? You'd have to connect the two rolls together and that doesn't sound sturdy.

on the dual head mutoh?

 

[CheapVehicleWrap]

No, the 1614. Flexi supports this, but unless you rolled the dual rolls on a single core yourself you'd have to "connect" the rolls....

Hmm. I see this plan riddled with land mines. The materials would have to be exact else profiling is moot, not to mention the mechanics of PF adjust. ...and the raw media edges in the center. To me the risk isn't worth the gain...whatever the gain is for you. Personally I can't think of one. I do know the dual head unit supports dual rolls...but it's designed for that.

Land mines? Can we meet half way...say shoe bombs? The gain would be time and less travel on the rail. Yes of course it would have to be the same media.

We can call it whatever, but that print head makes us money and I will err on the side of safety>speed any day.

If we're talking the exact same material (though I'd never try this with banner material) I suppose it's technically possible even without software support, it's just too plain risky. What happens when one material skews and jumps on top of the other?

Is the material you're printing on not available in a wider width?

 

[CheapVehicleWrap]

ahh, there's even another possible reason. No, I just want to run smaller media with multiple jobs. Do you run Flexi with your 1614? See the dual roll setup with sizes for each roll and a gap setting for in between?

 

[Wrapture]

Nah, we use Wasatch.

I just think I'm totally missing the point (no breakfast has that affect) of why you'd want to rack up two small rolls of the same material as opposed to one wide roll.
