  1. How do I cut Max Metal?

    +1 for a Table Saw. If your shop does not have one you need one or will need one soon. If you do not have the funds for it you can get by with a good old skill saw with a board and clamps. If you get a bit of a jagged edge you can always file them down and go get your blades sharpened/replaced.
  2. Contaminated Orajet 3751GRA ?

    I had this same issue about 2-3 years ago. We ran Orical for years without major issues then all of the sudden every other roll had issues, even the ones directly from oracal. Once it was more bad rolls then good rolls we switched and never looked back. Glad we did as our new stock requires...
  3. Summa S2 automatic sheet off or prevent next cut job autostart?

    Thanks for the tip! It is really not a common occurrence to have a large enough batch to do it all the time, usually our poster are one offs. This particular job was a 50+ order so a bit out of the ordinary for us. I will look into ordering a cheapo blade from fellers for jobs like this in...
  4. Adobe to Corel

    as somebody who has used both Adobe and Corel products I can attest that the best improvement in coreldrawX8 is its updated save to AI option. Adobe gives you tools for specific situations. Photoshop for photos. Illustrator for illustrations. InDesign for layout. CorelDraw tries to be all...
  5. illustrator and vector question

    This is 100% correct. If you must work on this in CMYK then you will have to modify some of your fill colors and transparency settings. The best way if you must stay in CMYK (and it is not very easy most of the time) is to get the transitions with no transparencies at all. The easiest way...
  6. Presidential debate...let's hear your thoughts

    why choose the lesser evil? With the sub-par candidates both parties have chosen (that is a major understatement) I have decided to just vote for the greatest evil. https://cthulhuforamerica.com/
  7. Summa S2 automatic sheet off or prevent next cut job autostart?

    Thanks! any chance you know what the exact line need is? I have no problem adding this to the files.
  8. Summa S2 automatic sheet off or prevent next cut job autostart?

    Oh yes to add on this I also found that putting a .5" gutter on the prints was a good idea for getting them to come off without the gutter ripping.
  9. Summa S2 automatic sheet off or prevent next cut job autostart?

    Since your rep advised against it take this with a grain of salt. Nobody has advised me on anything yet (I sent in a request a few days ago and nobody has gotten back to me) This is how I have done it using Fuji Poster paper. First I loaded the roll onto the cutter and did some force test...
  10. Summa S2 automatic sheet off or prevent next cut job autostart?

    Hi all, Hope you can help me with this one. We got in a S2T160 and love it so far. Was just wondering if this is possible. I am using the flex cut to cut out some posters (roughly 2x3 on a 54 inch roll 4 up) however I need to run in batches of about 20 total. The flex cut is setup perfect...
  11. what you do when you see this

    one of your black heads is starved for ink or clogged to hell. looks like you got a mutoh. go into the cleaning menu and give it a "little charge" I found with mutohs, depending on your black ink limit, if you give them a slight pause in the interval time it helps with ink starving quite a bit...

    Wow! looks like the Summa camp is out in force! I was hoping to see one in person at the GASC but they moved from Chicago this year. Hopefully some vendor in the Chicagoland area has one that I can go see. again thanks all for your opinions! they helped out a ton!
  14. looking for a new cutter either a summa or a graphtech

    Hello all! First off if this is in the wrong section I apologize. I was wondering if anybody who happens to own a Summa S2 or a Graphtech FC could chime in on there experiences with said cutters. It is time to replace the old Mutoh Kona here and I narrowed it down to those possible two...
