  1. Recommend a printer for big solid colors

    Thank you all. I have heard good things about Colorado before, so nice to get confirmation here.
  2. Recommend a printer for big solid colors

    Hi all, Tricky question. We're currently running HP Latex 365 & 700 (with PrintFactory RIP), and are considering a new machine for a very specific job: printing big areas of solid colors. The HP is not doing a good enough job with these, as they are too prone to grain/banding/variation in...
  3. Summa S2 D140 skips random objects in jobs

    Let's see. I fiddled with the coil settings, lowered the speed, opened up all covers to see that the internals are ok, removed and re-installed the cutter in Printfactory and now for whatever reason it has been cutting well again. I'm afraid this is only temporary though, and will update this...
  4. Summa S2 D140 skips random objects in jobs

    Thanks, I will contact unless we manage to solve this. I mentioned the same in another reply, but our process is fully automated and identical from day-to-day. We only cut one material and there are no changes to any settings or parameters, so any troubleshooting we have usually relates to...
  5. Summa S2 D140 skips random objects in jobs

    We have worked with printfactory extensively for years, and doubt the issue is there or in any setting - as like I mentioned our usage is daily and quite heavy. Our process is automated and always the same, so there are no changing parameters or manual adjustments. That's why I was suspecting a...
  6. Summa S2 D140 skips random objects in jobs

    Awesome, thanks for the reply. We're cutting a soft material so I can't really see or hear differences in landing. I was so focussed on a data transfer that I did not even consider that it could be the head which remains stuck in an up position. Could you explain further what you mean with the...
  7. Summa S2 D140 skips random objects in jobs

    Our cutter has recently started to skip complete shapes when cutting jobs which includes several smaller elements. This has been going on now for a few weeks, and we have not been able to find out why. Our vendor has not been able to help with this, and Summa technical support in EU are on...
  8. Possible eco alternatives to Oracal 638 (wall art)

    Thanks Mark Thanks Mark, I'll definitely contact them as they seem to have good representation around Europe. Now though I was more looking into pre-colored decals that would come in a wide set of colors. But it seems that there is nothing out there yet that would be better/greener than Oracal.
  9. Possible eco alternatives to Oracal 638 (wall art)

    Hi, I know this has been discussed here before, and no good alternatives have come up so far. But the last post is already a couple of years old so I thought to ask again: Anyone know of a more eco-alternative to your basic wall art vinyl? So far we have tried Photo Tex, which is great IF we...
