  1. Summa S75T plotting to big

    We have acquired 2 Summa S75T plotter/cutters. We are having a problem with both of them plotting out inconsistently, one file will cut the right sixze and then the next will plot approximately .5 of a millimetre large on a 75 x 34mm rectangle. We are using Coreldraw and Winplot for graphics...
  2. HP Latex Decisions...

    Been shopping for upgrades to our Gerber equipment for a couple of months now, as we expand our business... Looks like Roland is going to lose another potential sale to HP Latex... I can get the HP 110 or 310 with Graphtec FC8600-130 Plotter for cheaper then Roland will do for the VS-540i...
  3. SUMMA T160 print/ cut jobs cutting paths twice

    Hi all, first time post, long time fan. So I'm currently using a Summa T160, regular cut jobs are done through Winplot and print/cut jobs are through Cutter Control (using the barcode feature). The printing is done through a HP L26500 with Ergosoft PosterPrint RIP software. I use adobe software...
  4. Summa 4sx and lamination?

    I have a printing background, but found a new application we purchased a Summa 4sx to pursue. This is a different animal than I'm used to so I'm trying to not make too many mistakes... My application is small labels (4"x6") that are in a very high traffic situation, so durability is critical. I...
  5. Summa 64" D1400 Pro

    We have a 64" SummaSign D1400 Pro and are looking to upgrade - the device works perfectly, the only slight issue is the older 'red light' OPOS unit which doesn't work so well with the newer UV laminates. Open to offers - you are welcome to visit and see it operating in person - unit is located...

  8. Does Static Cling Expire?

    I have a roll of Static Cling media that I purchased in March, 2013. When I used it then (on a DC4sx), it printed beautifully, with a low density setting (11000). Today, I tried to print on it using the same settings (I have a User Configuration just for Static) and it was a disaster (take a...
  9. Summa S2T140 54" Tangential Cutter - Like New - Very Little Use

    For sale: Summa S2 T Series S2 T140 Tangential Cutter Cutter has had very little use (only 3 rolls of vinyl have been cut with this) Only reason we are selling is because our business is closing - otherwise we would keep this. It's a very nice cutter. Located in Apple Valley, Utah. We...

  11. So Just how fast IS your Plotter...Really!

    I recently watched a video made by one of my local competitors on how blazing fast his plotter is. He has a Summa and claims it its the fastest plotter... and granted, it was fast. It made me think..."Hmm, I have no idea how fast my plotter really is, I should try it out". I have a Graphtec...
  12. Onyx 11 Cut Server issue

    Hey guys. I am having an issue regarding CutContours in Onyx 11. I've done CutContours in Onyx 10 forever and have not encountered this. I am using a SummaSignPro T1600 SL. I print my file, set up the plotter to cut. Open the file in the CutServer. I hit Cut Now, the plotter reads the...
  13. If you prefer Summa over Graphtec or Roland. I'm curious why? Fill me in

    I own a couple of graphtecs and roland cutters. I have not owned a summa yet. I was reading on another post and many praises for the summa. I'm wondering what makes a Summa better then a Graphtec/Roland other then the customer service? Is it the speed? accuracy? ease of use? special functions...
  14. Cutting lines on a traction fed plotter

    I've had the Summa D120 Summacut series plotter for about a year and a half now. Prior to the Summa we had a Gerber sprocket fed plotter that just wasn't cutting right anymore. I purchased the Summa thinking that it could cut everything from text, logos and lines perfectly. Well I found, to my...
  15. OPOS Markers not working in CorelDraw X6

    We've been working a summa plotter S160 with CorelDraw X5 for sometime now, and we have now come to upgrading our Corel software to X6. I have downloaded the new winplot plugin for X6, so that OPOS markers can be automatically added to a piece of artwork. When I click on the OPOS marker button...
  16. Summa F Series - anybody running one?

    We currently are running a CET 500Q and a Graphtec FC2250 (largest bed) the graphtec really is fast enough and it just isn't made for a production enviroment. We print sheets of magnets and each sheet is repetitive small contour cuts. Does anyone have experience with the F-Series and know if it...
  17. S2 Class Tangential Cutter

    Has anyone upgraded from the original S Series Tangential cutter? Is the upgrade worth it. I'm looking to either find a used S Class or looking at the new S2? Is the performance difference worth not going with the older model. I under stand the differences of used vs. new but was wondering how...
  18. Summa DC4 or Summa DC4SX

    I'm looking for anyone who owns one of these two machines. I'm starting a business selling helmet decals and the Summa's seem to be the most cost effective machines. I intend to do a lot of volume this year. Please contact me if you own one of these machines and live in Texas. Brandon...

  20. Summa and SignLab-anybody?

    :banghead: Summa does not know SignLab, and SignLab techs USED to be brilliant in figuring out the multitude of issues with Summa (DC4) but I have recently learned-for $75.00-that SignLab will no longer support Summa. SO, I am wondering if it would be better to a) get a new sign program, b) get...
