PAPER SIGNS QUESTION

[CENTERVILLE SIGNS]

How come every time I print paper signs I get all kinds of smudging?

Are you using the proper paper for the ink you are using? I have seen aqueous papers do that if they we printed with latex ink.

I bought the Roland paper

maybe it's the heat ? ? ?

Try roller tension. We used to get head strikes all the time on a synthetic paper we run on a regular basis, reduced the roll tension and it has all but disappeared.

If it is smudging it is not curing. paper is a fine line between turning the heat up to cure without buckling the paper causing head strikes. I used to hate paper but since we got out HP latex I will print full rolls no problem. We mainly print SIHL 3686.

It's usually heat causing the paper to buckle and leading to head strikes.

If you can, post some photos and include more context. Printer model, paper info, etc. I think you'll get better answers with that.
