Wink Eco Film 1/4" short on width

Has anyone else noticed on their eco film that the width is a little shorter. I ordered a new roll in this week and it is 1/4" narrower than my previous (I don't want to be picky), but that 1/4" can make a difference when you set up designs to get the most out of every square inch on you vinyl. I did purchase this thru Imprintables; howeve' I'm not saying anything bad about them because they have been wonderful with everything that I have ever asked of them!!

hmm, I just checked my eco film. The black and white are 1/4 inch narrower, but all the other colors are right on. This would explain why I had to adjust my last 2 cutting jobs. I thought I did something wrong.

I hope its just a mistake, and not a habit. I really like the eco film, and dealing with imprintables too.

Makes me question the the yardage too

Yeah, I was thinking that I would call them(maybe Josh isn't aware of this error done in the warehouse), I glad (well not really glad) to hear that I'm not the only one in this boat. After I talk with them I post back here to let you know what I found out.

I have had the same problem this week. I called Mike, but they wanted me to send back the roll. I didn't have time for that so we used it, what a PIA. This job of course had the designs to the edge. Labor killed me, having to adjust the roll after every few feet.

Some of my rolls are 14 1/2-14 5/8.

I talked with Imprintables today and Lee said I probably got the side of a big roll that was cut down, "it wasn't intentional and if it causes problems let them know"
