full roll of banner on takeup reel?

[SIGNTIME]

I have a job for 4 38" x 150' banners and I am wondering if I will have any issue using the take up reel for the entire roll of banner maybe to much weight for the motor? 8oz banner Roland xj540

Anyone ever done this before and would like to share if the were any issues or if it worked just fine?

i've done 75' of 54" material before without any issues, you should be fine

I'm not familiar with your printer, but we routinely print full rolls (up to 63" x 164') of 13 oz banner overnight with no issues on a Mimaki JV33. Shouldn't be a problem.

With the banners being 150' long EACH, I would definitely sub that job out.
I'm sure you have a wholesaler locally that has been begging for some business.
Give them this one; if you get a headstrike 100' into the print or any other problem at all - you have to throw the roll away and start over.

QFT!!! I wouldn't even think about doing this job in house under any circumstances. My sub runs 2 HP Scitex at 3000 square feet per hour, do the math. On large jobs I pay less for the completed job than I have in materials, plus no headaches.
