Is this good for the Roland

[EbsWeb5150]

If you load banner material in the Roland, but you pick a profile like
Glossy Calender and set it to print and cut the banner type material.

I don't know if that would be good for the blade.
Just curious.

That's not good for the blade, but you get these neat die cut banner toys. The cutter isn't really designed to cut all the way through.

I know you can set up a perf cut but I doubt it would work very good for banner material. Not only will a perf cut damage your blade but your teflon cutting strip as well!

Dude, don't print/cut banner material.

What about Cut Sheet? Do you guys use that, or trim off by hand. I've been using cut sheet to trim it, but I wonder if it's hard on the machine.

Thanks everyone

your input is awesome.

don't use the blade to ever cut banner, you will knacker the blade and if its set enought so it will cut through more than likely knacker the stripe underneath. you can use the sheet cut blade, no problems though, we do this daily.

Besides the blade damage you're going to create and taking your Roland out of warranty...... the profile won't print and adhere to the banner properly. Wrong profiling that is way out of the realm for a particular media is totally bad.

I try to trim all banner by hand. Move the banner out to the edge of the machine and the slide a cutter along the edge of the machine and you get a good straight cut. Then do the final cut on the cutting table. I know a shop that sheet cuts banner with the extended edge pieces you use for banner still on the machine. the cutter blade goes across the pieces, Da
