Grrr.

I noticed something when I handle media, vinyl & banner material, when I only had a cutter, I would put my big paw prints all over the rolls & do what ever I wanted with them. now that I have a printer, I can't touch the rolls at all with my hands, even if i just washed them, also I used to use some 2" transfer tape to hold the rolls together, but now no matter what I do after I use the tape, I get a flaw in the print. NO MATTER what I clean the vinyl or banner material with, now I have to put the tape on the ends & use paper towels to handle the rolls, just something I noticed.

Mainframe: I find that the white cotton gloves (offered by Fellers & others) are pretty useful in regards to material handling.

Use this next time you're unsure about how much is left on the roll.

If you have an asian grocery nearby, they often have real thick cotton mesh gloves dirt cheap.

Print the last 3 feet and get it sewn on.

So for thickness, what do you put for 3mil vinyl? What about 13oz banner material?

Don't you guys use the printers measurement?
My soljets and HP5500s keep track of length, I always write it on the roll before unloading.
