Unfortunately you will not be able to use FineCut with your Summa cutter. Winplot is a good, albeit very basic, cutting program that works with the older Summa cutters like the T750 you are using. Other programs like FlexiSign, Signlab, etc. will work as well if you have access to either or...

I just googled the version 25 that it said it installed and it's showing this as an educational version of the software. Is this an educational or trial version, Ginger? If not, did you check under the file menu to see if the Summa menu is listed? Sometimes the plug-ins and macros don't function...

If you're using the CC2021 version then there is not a plug-in available yet that will work with that version. If you're using 2020 or older then the toolbar will appear under the file menu in Illustrator under the file name "Summa". Best regards, Phil Johnson Airmark Corporation...

Hi Ranel, Have you tried using the yellow OPOS filters to see if you can get better mark recognition on the reflective materials? I have attached a document with more info on that process in case you wanted to give that a try. Also, cutting prismatic or diamond grade reflective is not a...

Thanks for the reply and additional info. If your material is indeed 1mm thick, that would be just under 40 mil thick and the D60 is only capable of cutting materials up to 30 mil, even with the thick materials blade. I think this is one of those situations where you're trying to do something...

Good morning, How thick is the sandblast stencil you are trying to cut? Most companies I work with that cut sandblast stencil use the more powerful tangential cutters which are designed to cut and track heavier/thicker materials. Also, as was previously mentioned, you will need to use the...

I'm not making any assumptions and am trying to provide information that is helpful to all users who may have the SummaCut machines or to those who are considering getting one of the S One and S2 models. The SummaCut Series is now discontinued anyways so information on those units will be...

Hi All, Just wanted to clarify that the S2 D Series DOES have the automatic cut off knife just like the S2 T Series so you could use that feature on the S2 D Series if you wanted to. The new S One D Series model does not have the cutoff knife so if you're referring to that when you say...

The cutter comes with a 15' USB cable so 20' with a booster/repeater should be fine. I wouldn't go much longer than that, though, to avoid any communication issues sending files to the machine. Another thing to note is that you have to run the Camera Control software in the background with the...

The OPOS Cam has faster mark recognition compared to the OPOS X sensor(1 second per mark versus 4-5 seconds with the sensor) and is able to detect registration marks more consistently on materials with high reflectivity or mirrored finish. The OPOS Cam models do need to be connected via USB...

What cutting software are you using to send files to the D60U? If you are using Winplot you may need to change your port selection in the cutter setup menu to the correct USB port. This is especially important if your new S One D75 is also connected via USB as well. You can use Summa Cutter...

What kinds of applications did you have in mind for the printer and do you have any other equipment like a cutter that you are already using? Also, do you have a preference for the design and RIP software that you would like to use? Once we all have a bit more information on what types of...

Hi Tracy, One of the Summa S2T75(30") cutters would work well for this application. The machine has a dual servo drive system to work with heavier films and should work well with the engineer grade reflective materials that you will need to cut. We have special pricing for Signs101 members on...

Hi Danielle, One of our clients recently put the S2 T Series through all its paces trying to cut this material and unfortunately the 21 mil stock just won't cut consistently on the S2 T Series. It's a really heavy material that is difficult to track and while the S2 has enough force to cut it...

Hi Logan, I received your email and sent you a reply. I checked inventory and we do have the dual head assembly kits in stock if you wanted to go that route. Like others mentioned above and I did as well in my email, when you install the dual head you lose OPOS so you wouldn't be able to do...

Good morning, As previously mentioned, the F1612 is a capable and more affordable alternative to the other brands you mentioned. We have some really nice promos on the F-Series machines right now and have worked with many members here on the site, including Sean. Let me know if I can answer...

Hi Dennis, I sent you a PM last week regarding the F1612. Did you see that by chance? We have these in stock and can offer great pricing and a quick turnaround time for install if this is still a need. Let me know if there's anything we might be able to do to help. Thanks, Dennis! Best...

Good morning, We may be able to help out. Did you have a certain budget in mind and were you strictly looking for a used machine or would a new machine at a great price be something you might consider? Also, just to make sure the D140/160 will be the best fit for your needs, what sorts of...

The ADX models from American Rotary would be a very good choice. You can hardwire directly to the machine or install a plug, either way. As for the RIP software, Onyx would be a good option to facilitate the barcode workflow but you would still need to upgrade the GoProduce to add barcode...

That's simply not a true statement and we have successfully installed several hundred of these flatbeds all over the country. Our team trained Summa's technicians originally and know these flatbeds better than anyone(we used to own and operate Summa and developed the F-Series technology). We...
