Looking To Use Cutting Plotter
- Thread starter Guimb0
- Start date
I bought a used gcc j4-101s to cut ppf. It works great with xpel, suntek, & similar thickness film. BUT due to the texture grid drums under the rollers, they leave permanent texture tracks on thicker ppf(old 8mil 3m, clearshield, 14mil 3m, etc)

Its not possible to lift the pinchrollers in the middle? On summa you can lift the pinchrollers.
It happens during cutting, & the solution should be adjusting the pressure of the rollers of which it is not possible. Solution?

On the GCC Jaguar IV the center rollers have 2 positions light and heavy.
Oic .... But all the rollers are leaving track marks on the film surface from the grid drums

Have you tried heating the film after cutting? Most films will settle back to flat.
We used to cut 21mil film a lot without marks on our old jaguar we would only get marks when we used too much pressure.

I'll try again heating it again. It seems the films with track marks have a more malleable top coat. And apparently the rollers & drums are pressing the film hard enough to leave the mark on top but not underneath. Weird? Did u adjust the middle roller pressure when cutting the think material? Thanks for the input!

Check out the RX series, or I'd highly recommend moving over to Summa if you want thick material processing and speed + accuracy.
Ok I'll check out rx & summa. Thanks! But I'll have to figure out a solution for the marks; the plotter shouldn't be doing that. The reason I'm looking at the fc700(used 54" for $1300) & j5(new 40" $2200) is the price & I'm familiar with the controls. I'm just using it to cut paint protection film (8&14mil).
