Not sure how I can quote from anything other than personal experience? It just doesn’t happen due to F Performance here - if it did I would have seen it by now we’ve shipped three figures of these cutters. Sure we get the occasional board failure but never due to F Performance. If there’s only a...

F Performance has no issues with hardware failures - it’s a misnomer that came from a couple of unconnected faults some time ago that got misunderstood. I have put hundreds of these machines into the market and every one has gone in with F Performance switched on by default since launch - we...

Summa are just launching an upgraded router to the standard one - more powerful and more balanced so it should give a better performance vs the current one. It’s not expensive like the HF router and is backwards compatible. Might be worth enquiring about this before ordering as I’m not sure if...

I guess it’s easy to get lost in all the clever new technology that this represents but none of this is as important as the crucial factor here - a completely new type of image look & feel Vs any uv system. It’s the output that will sell these not the tech. Typical high IQ at fast speed is a...

As stated above this is a new latex formulation - new polymer - v4 ink and thus has the ability to cope with all the problematic substrates without warping.

I’d like to see one manufacturer who didn’t stretch the truth in their marketing! They mean ‘cure’ rather than ‘dry’ I guess - referring to the 24 hour cross-linking reaction that takes place after printing. Also treatment of white is certainly different - there is no purging of white ink at all...

What is the HP Latex R Series? HP will launch at FESPA a new rigid printer, the Latex R-series, that will feature a ‘newly formulated for rigid’ latex ink. Where can I see it? The HP Latex R Series will make a public debut on the HP stand (Hall 3.2 Stand C20) on May 15th at FESPA in Berlin...

OK so there's an easy solution to this (although the best solution is to build your own profiles as everyone says) Even if you made a custom profile you will still see this happen to some extent. What Onyx is doing is correct - the profile is altering the pure yellow you are sending into a...

Hi This is quite straight forward - I have uploaded a document that explains how it all works. BTW the cutting system changed in Onyx in the middle of the X10 release period and was difficult to nail down in v. X10 so my advice is to upgrade using Onyx Advantage to the current V.12 where all...

Wow! I don't think I've read this degree of sarcasm in response to good-intentioned advice on here before. Obviously the pressure thing is a read herring now there is more detail - but it's perfectly good advice to begin a troubleshooting process it's where I would have started. Bly no-one on...

Onyx and Summa F Series are a good match Not at all - remember this thread is about setting up an automated barcode system which needs a few extra steps (as it does in all of the cutter software packages) For general every-day cutting the workflow is so automatic you don't even need to look...

F series barcode Hi Barcode use on the F1612 is a paid upgrade to your license key. Then SummaFlex Pro will have the correct tabs & permissions enabled to handle the barcode cut files from Onyx.

Epson Stylus Pro 7600 I mean!

metamerism surface effect Two alternatives really - either you think you are using K only but the rip is actually using CMY which together give a brown-looking black - as Mike says switch off the icc to ensure K only is used as per the original file values. But I don't think this is the case -...

Calibration guys (and correct media choice) use one of Summa's listed media and calibrate carefully and it isn't an issue. ive been to many sites where some random media was used and / or calibration wasn't done carefully - on leaving the customers now happy. Believe me they can print without...
