Load Printer with Vinyl Banner

"Hi everyone, I’m Doug Downey on behalf of Expert Village, I’m here today to show you how to digitally print vinyl banners. Now one of the great things about the ready to print stuff that I like is that it comes in four different sizes. There’s the twenty-two, uh, the twenty-one inch, the thirty-four and a half, the forty-five and the fifty-four inch material. So you know, if you have a, if you have a fifty-four inch printer, so you can, you can use the full width of the printer. And the other nice thing about it, is the, that you can set your rollers on the outside of these two grommets, and get full bleed with, right over the vinyl so one of the things you have to do when loading the machine, when you take it out of the box, what I do is I spin it, just to make sure it’s good and tight and good and even so that we can load it on the back of the machine. If you have it good and tight and even on the ends that means it will roll through the machine nice and straight. Especially if you’re doing a full bleed width, you want to make sure that, that vinyl is in there and rolling straight on the rollers. So we usually just drop it over the backside and then we’ll, we’ll take the material and we’ll feed it through. Feed it through to the front. Then what I do is just reach back and I can set it on the machine, we’ll just pull it through so we can see where the grommets are here and then uh, then what we have to do is just make sure that the grommets are going to run on this outside edge, because it is important that we can trim this edge here nice and close to your, to your bleed edge and uh, and make it a nice banner to just send in. So, again, we just put it in, and I usually reach through and I just grab it and pull it tight and then just secure your rollers and let the print come across and then read what your width is on the banner."
