The last few batches of yard signs that we have done have been sticking together. This hasn't happened before that I know of. We print on oracal 3641 on a roland xj 540, oem inks. We print yard signs with gcvp profile in standard mode with the take up reel, let dry on a roll for a day before we mount and cut. A few weeks ago we had a customers signs in our shop for a few days and I went to move them and they all stuck to eachother. When I seperated them they had transfered ink from one another and looked like crap. Not sure why this is happening. Since we have tried letting the prints dry for 4 days before mounting and it still happens. Also tried printing in high quality print mode, didn't make a difference. It has been hot and humid around here lately but our shop is climate controlled so that shouldnt make a difference.
We're printing some samples with different profiles, heat settings, dry times, etc. to see if we can figure it out. Has anybody else had this issure? Is it just not kosher for unlaminated digital prints to touch eachother? Could use the backing paper as a barrier but that would be annoying for me and the customer. Was also thinking possibly a silcone spray lubricant might work...probably not. Would much rather figure a way to print them so they don't stick.
