Banners scratching all of a sudden

[Graphic Extremes]

So I print a banner as usual using the same material as usual, let off gas for 24 hours minimum. Banner material is off the same roll I was using before. The ink for some reason will show rub marks even if I put ink to ink by folding the banner face to face. I have never had this happen before. Any ideas on why this started happening.

Never have done it before but should I be laminating the banner.. Crazy question I know.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

What printer are you using?

I've had rolls before that a greasy feel to them and ink did not adhere properly. Probably a polluted section of a roll you have

I always spay a coating of SEM ColorCoat 13003 Clear vinyl . It is Marine grade and adheres great and gives UV protection. One coat should stop scratching off.

but, as victor said, the issue would be one of adhesion. (I WILL GIVE SEM CLEARCOAT A TRY THOUGH! i have never found a liquid laminate i liked

Off a roll that was previously successful?
How old is the roll?
It's likely gone bad if it's over a year since you last used it, plastisizer migration or what have ya. Load, run out excess material, clean with alcohol, roll back, and see if the cleaned region has better adhesion. If it does, toss the roll and order a new one.
