Re: Light hearted question about rollers on plotter !

My Liyu has Two rollers at the back to hold the rolls of vinyl, up until yesterday I was laying the roll ontop of the Two rollers - like this:

But that kept falling off, so yesterday I had an idea - lets try it like this:

The reason I was under the impression that the rolls were supposed to be as Image 1 is because there are indents to hold the rollers at different widths, so it looked to me that you could set these for a full roll and then a smaller roll when the situation dictated (when using rolls with only a few meters left on them I mean).
By using image 2, the rolls dont fall off and you can keep 2x rolls ready for use !
I bet I am not the only One who hadnt given any thought to this
