Perferated Window Film settings?????????????

[DZineGraphX]

Alright i rarely print on this stuff so im a little lost

i have a roland versacamm sp-300
and use flexi 10.5 for my printing/cutting

i know what settings to go with for the most part but is there a profile for printing on perferated?

tried a test print and its buzzing..............print head rubbing on material maybe????

If I'm printing a vehicle wrap I just use the same profile on the perf. I've never had a problem.

Pretty sure if the print head was rubbing on the material you would be getting some streaking from the head on the material. I would check your platen gap and raise if it is rubbing. Other than the buzzing, does the print come out looking alright?

yea prints fine - odd thing is smears near the end but when im using 30 inch and printing a 24 inch print it like smears off the edge of the print and not on the actual print

been researching a bit - or at least trying to and it said to turn the heater down to 35 c - perhaps its heating up to much and bubbling the material?

I usually use the 3M IJ180 rip setting. I haven't had problems with anything rubbing, however, you could try turning off your pre-heater, and lower your platen heater to 35 or so, then have your drying heater turned up to your usual temp.
