  1. Wanted Summa DC5

    I would ask airmark.com. They have sold them until a few years ago, they sell the ribbons and if there are some units available they should know it. Phil Johnson of Airmark is member here.

    Attached as EPS.

    Welcome from germany too
  4. SUMMA D140FX

    There was no boosting innovation in vinyl cutting during the last decades. The innovations between the generations are mostly about small details, internal software or electronics (network or wireless ports, quicker processing and so on). But there are surely different ways of how to handle...
  5. SUMMA D140FX

    You should have bought the D140, not the D140FX. Simple.
  6. PM Ignores Colours and Print Grey Only

    What happens if you load the file directly into Production Manager?
  7. Y Motor/servo motors and maintinance

    Motors wear out. The noise from the motor is increasing very slowly, so that people who works on their machine every day mostly don´t notice it. It starts with noise, and ends with motor errors (seldom with a damaged servo board). I´m a technician, If I do service on a customers printer or...
  8. Issues with Setting Up the Summa DC4xs Printer on Colored Vinyl

    You should talk to a dealer, depends on your priorities. White is a little bit difficult with solvent printers, I would prefer UV. Mimaki has a 800mm printing width Print & Cut-Machine UCJV300-75 for little stickers (107 and 160 available too), they work fine. It looks like that you are from...
  9. Issues with Setting Up the Summa DC4xs Printer on Colored Vinyl

    Not shure. I think it is a setting about "Masking". You have the possibility to set the cassette id for every mask to white. About the red signs: set black as a spot color in the file.
  10. Question Is Mimaki UJV 100-160plus worth it comparing it to UCJV330?

    There are several uses. For example on transparent film.
  11. Issues with Setting Up the Summa DC4xs Printer on Colored Vinyl

    You´re welcome. About white: You can set Color Control to print more than one white layer. As far as I remember, you can set this in the "Advanced"-Tab of Color Control. If you post a screendump of this tab, I can show it to you.
  12. Question Is Mimaki UJV 100-160plus worth it comparing it to UCJV330?

    Do you need white ink? The UCJV330 is not just an UJV100 with cutter, it has a higher production speed too. And while für an UJV100 you need to decide bevore filling if you want to print white under color or white over color, on an UCJV you can do both driven by the print mode.
  13. Issues with Setting Up the Summa DC4xs Printer on Colored Vinyl

    You should set the color space not to monochrome, and set White as a spot color (in the file too). Set OptiTrac to WHITE_BACKGROUND,
  14. Issues with Setting Up the Summa DC4xs Printer on Colored Vinyl

    There is a setting for the OptiTrac-Markers for printing them in a color like black with a white surrounding. As far as I remember, the DC4 has another kind of sensors than the DC5. Don´t remember where to set it, but perhaps you will find it in the manuals. Do you print with Color Control? You...
