I have a 31 inch R series, I just purchased....I have worked with the 54'' before....I am having trouble with the Material feeding...it just wants to bunch up and not flow smoothly through the pinch rollers....Do I have something set up Wrong? Also as you are looking at the Plotter...is the one on the far right supposed to move or is it stationary?
Thanks Brandon

are the upper rollers aligned with the bottom rollers? you shouldn't have to ask if the one on the far right moves it should be obvious

I just got one of these for my son to play around with. All 3 rollers move on it. Have not had any problems with vinyl bunching up on at the rollers. Only problem I have see was when I had a new 24 x 50yd roll on it, it wouldnt pull the vinyl up if there was no slack in the roll.

Also have you tried just using 2 of the pinch rollers instead of all 3. Could be that one pinch roller is kinked a little causing the feeding of the vinyl not to be straight. Had that happen to on a while back.

I think I had this problem and it was because I had one of the pinch rollers set in the middle where it pushes on both rollers pushing the vinyl down further than the side pinch rollers. Just moved it over a bit and problem solved.
