Im having problems with skipping on chrome and holographic vinyl now. Man everything was great until now
Not sure what you mean by 'skipping'. I have found that some metallic films can transport more reliably in both directions when attached to the Take-Up Reel. For example, Substance X1 Chrome film has a slippery backing liner and runs more reliably on the TUR.Im having problems with skipping on chrome and holographic vinyl now.

Right, I tried it on the take up reel. Same resultsNot sure what you mean by 'skipping'.

I turned Omas off and I did manual advance.Usual advice. OMAS off and manual advance calibration.
What's the input output tension in the profile?I'm having the same issue on my 630W with HP clearview with PET liner.
It's loading correctly and moving perfectly untill I start printing, it justs doesn't move anymore, slips in the rollers.

You probably have to tune those. Sounds like too much input tension.
Why not attach the new media to a roll of old media on the take-up reel and then back up the media until the lead edge is barely past the print zone? make sure you have good heat resistant take to make to splice or you will have tape coming off in the curing zone.... but no need to waste more media when you attach to the take-up reel.It was pretty high in the clearview problem. Seems like I had to attach to the take up reel before printing.
Pretty expensive on 3M clearview
The thing with 3M Clearview is that when it initially heats up during the startup process and then the printer pulls back already warm surface to start the print, it will stick to the metal "loading platen" down below.oh, and I assume you guys have checked vacuum needed for this specific media (by running tests not from googling specs....) I have found when the media slips it can often be fixed by reducing the vacuum so it is just enough to keep media flat in the print zone. any more and it just causes more friction across the entire sheet in the print zone ---- leading to media slippage.
Actually now writing about this I just remember that the "tiling" option will disable that initial warm-up phase.It was pretty high in the clearview problem. Seems like I had to attach to the take up reel before printing.

interesting - I have not yet printed on the on the clearview, but I would think that the minimum vacuum needed to hold the media would be better than more...The thing with 3M Clearview is that when it initially heats up during the startup process and then the printer pulls back already warm surface to start the print, it will stick to the metal "loading platen" down below.
And there's not much you can do about it. Maybe some innovative diy solution if you really print a lot of it but otherwise it's always jamming the first feet of the print.
