Hi guys I was wondering if somebody could help me out. I am using a Clear Removable SA Vinyl and I can't get the media to stop tunneling. (Releasing from the paper back when printing creating bubbles). What I have tried so far is setting my pressures to light and running with almost no heat on the platen shoes, Because of this problem I have to run with the heads in the highest position so I don't get head strikes but some text becomes blurry and I still get the odd head strike.
If anybody who has experience printing with this type of media and can pass along any tips it would be appreciated.
Never had this problems, I guess vinyl is not really 1st grade. I would certainly try to cut back heater also, and see what happens. Not much more I can helpe, though.
have you tried putting a little bit of extra weight on the media path in and out? just an old core in the media loop may help to keep the media flatter and stop your tunneling.
try both as a small amount of weight 1-2kgs gives the substrate some rigidity and therefore prevent a lot of misfeeding issues, which include tunneling or ****ling.
