Using ECO-Solvent2 inks with a Roland printer/cutter, how long should you wait before applying the transfer mask to the images.Using Sister Color print PU and Sister TTD Easy Mask. Having a problem with the mask sticking to the printed surface and lifting the image of the carrier.

Frank,
If the TTD Easy Mask is pulling ink off the print, I daresay you have a bigger problem than wait times. Although many manufacturers advise you to wait a few hours before using a printed T-shirt transfer, in my experience, the ink should be dry coming off the printer. It sounds like you're either putting down too much ink or don't have the printer's heaters at a high enough temperature to allow the ink to fully penetrate the media.
What are your heater settings and what ICC Profile are you using?
You can get Roland ICC Profiles at Roland VersaCAMM Printing Profiles | Siser North America

I am using Rolands icc profile for generic heat transfer material. I have looked at Sisters web site for an ICC profile but since I am using a xr-640 pro, nobody has a profile for it.

My heater setting are as follows

Pre: 44 c
Print: 45 c
Drying: 55 c

Head Height: Low

Using Roland Eco-Solvent Inks

Okay, that looks pretty good, although you might try a higher setting on the pre-heater. I'll see what I can find out for you.

My local siser dealer provided me with the icc profile required for SISER.. If im not mistaken. Siser's website also provided us with profiles compatible with our printer.

I checked the Sister site and they do not list a profile for the XR-640

I checked the Sister site...

Just to verify you are talking about SISER and not SISTER? That material is carried my a number of suppliers but possibly not all suppliers have all the profiles. Have you tried looking for that profile someplace else?

 

[Diesel Tuner]

I have tried looking for the profile and did a internet search with no results. If someone could post the profile or let me know where to get it, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hello Frank:

Sorry to hear you are having problems with the ColorPrint PU.
Are you having problems with the ink coming off the media, or picking the media up onto the mask?

Please feel free to give me a call at your earliest convenience to discuss and find a resolution.

Thank you for your patience,
