We have a Roland Versacamm vp540 and when printing spot colors recently we have had a problem with the wrap being too aggressive and locking in bubbles too easily. We are using 3M 180cv3-10 with 3M 8518 overlam. We are waiting at least 24 hours to 'out-gas'. The problem is only when using spot colors. The rest of the vinyl acts normally against vehicles and against itself. But as soon as you peel the backing paper off of the black spot color section of wrap it starts curling and is really malleable. As soon as it touches anything it instantly grabs and doesn't let air out.
It happened in the summer for a bit too, I thought it was the temperature of the garage when applying vinyl, but now it is winter and it is happening worse than before. I will attach a picture to illustrate the problem. It seems to only happen with really rich colors, the yellow/white/light blue of the print acts like this vinyl should, easily movable and re-position-able.
We do not have a temperature/humidity controlled environment for our printer and the temperature in the building is around 60 degrees. We do have the heater on the printer on, I think it is set to 103/130 for printing. We print with versaworks using [RIPC] Generic Banner 2 profile.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
well, can't seem to figure out how to remove this post, sorry for the repost.
