Latex 115 substrate curling

We need to know what you are printing on and your profile settings

 

What brand vinyl, and the generic printer profile is way off, you should really build a better profile.

 

Cheap vinyl tends to curl. You can slow down the print and turn the heat down to reduce it... but I've found all the cheap $100 a roll medias curl pretty bad. Move up to a brand name polymeric calandered for your cheap stuff... bout $200 a roll instead of $100, but it fixes 99% of the curling issues.

 

I don't agree with that, I print 10+ rolls a month of Arlon DPF510MT with zero curl issues and its only $100/roll

 

We build all of our own profiles and settings... We run 6 pass 600dpi, 205degrees with 50% airflow.

I don't know if our 365 or 570 profiles work in the 115 but I can always send you the oml when I get to office.

 

My example was using CAD - I always forget most people on here are from USA. I've never used Arlon... Only our small supplier has it. Checking on price of the dpf510 it's $160 a roll. Equivalent to ij35 price for us.

My $100 a roll example was meant for cheap housebrands / absolute cheapest stuff you can buy.

I find the curling is mainly.because of the backing paper - cheap vinyls have really thin paper, most of the name brands tend to use decent thickish liner, even on their promotional rolls.

I've only put about 10 different media's through my latex though, and only one of the media's constantly curled no matter the temp / passes we used. A cheap $100(cad) no name roll I bought as my garbage media to use for alignment and tests.
