I just used 24" vinyl for the first time yesterday with my Roland GX-24 and experienced some issues. I was using Oracal 751. First it took me a while to realize I needed to cut at about 110gf to make weeding possible. Here are my other questions:
1. Does 24" vinyl need to be cut at 10cm/s? I was cutting at a little higher speed than this yesterday and it seemed like the vinyl was bunching up a bit and throwing off the cut.
2. When cutting long pieces the vinyl coming out the back was constantly catching on the rest of the roll and unrolling about 5 extra yards of material. I'm just using the roller that came with the GX-24 to put the vinyl on. Any suggestions as to how I can keep excess vinyl from unrolling? I was sure to give enough slack when starting.
Thanks,
Jeremy
