  1. Taking delivery of our new Summa F1612 next week, what else should I know?

    What Sean said is all accurate(thanks for the help, Sean!) and, as he mentioned, you can reuse the sacrificial mat several times. I would say noise level will vary greatly depending on your operating environment, materials that you are routing, etc. but generally speaking the machine isn't too...
  2. Taking delivery of our new Summa F1612 next week, what else should I know?

    Good morning, Just wanted to clarify that the conveyor extension adds 47" to the length, but the extension area is not part of the working area meaning you can't cut on the extended portion of the belt. It definitely helps with media loading and unloading like Matt mentioned. Retail on the...
  3. Suggestions Laminator

    I would also look at the GFP cold laminators as well. High quality rollers and the price point is very reasonable. We are a distributor for GFP and I can email you some information on the different GFP models along with some pricing. Please PM or email me your contact info to philj@airmark.com...
  4. What's a good contour cutting machine?

    No, of course I didn't mean that it is literally the only cutter capable of contour cutting. I meant that it is the best at contour cutting, especially if accuracy is the main concern, which it was for the OP in this case. If you like your Graphtec cutters I think that is great and happy to hear...
  5. What's a good contour cutting machine?

    Good morning, Summa is the only way to go for contour cutting. The Summa cutters all come standard with OPOS X, like Frank mentioned, and the sensor is very reliable and accurate. The SummaCut Series might be a perfect fit in terms of cost and performance compared to one of the lower end...

  7. Paycheck Protection Act Webinar

    Good morning, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy! It seems like most members on this site already have access to information on how to apply for benefits through the Paycheck Protection Program that was included with the CARES Act, but for those of you who might like additional...

    Good afternoon, I hope everyone is having a great week and finding ways to stay busy! Just wanted to remind everyone that we are offering a variety of different promos right now, including the free upgrade offer from Summa(S2 D to S2 T) that a few members have already taken advantage of. The...
  9. Suggestions Summa D120 SE

    I would have to agree with Frank that an older Summa, even the SE model you mentioned above, would be a much better alternative to one of the cheap Chinese options. If you can swing one of the newer Summa models with OPOS X that sensor will be able to sense the marks with more consistency...
  10. ROLAND OPINION

    Hi Bob, Just curious, in which ways do the Summa cutters not compare favorably with the Mimaki cutters? Much better tracking and cutting accuracy on the Summa cutters and I think most users on this site would agree. Best regards, Phil Johnson Airmark Corporation (800)527-7778, ext 112...
  11. ROLAND OPINION

    I would definitely consider one of the Epson printers as well. Print speeds, color gamut, consumables cost all compare very favorably. I can provide you with some sample output also if that would be helpful. If you want to see some pricing for the Summa or the Epson, or if you want to compare...
  12. ROLAND OPINION

    We definitely have some great specials on the Summa cutters right now and I would be happy to answer any questions that you might have. For contour cutting, nothing beats a Summa! Feel free to PM me here on the site or you can email me at philj@airmark.com if there's anything I can do to help...
  13. Special Offers for Signs101 Members

    Good morning, I hope that everyone is staying healthy and keeping busy! Summa released a few cut files for aprons and masks that F-Series users or those with other flatbed cutting tables or lasers can cut out the patterns and I have attached those files to this message in case anyone needs...

In these times it is important that we support each other however we can and all of us here at Airmark would like...
  15. FLEXCUTTING IN FLEXI ASAP

    Good morning, I would agree with SignQuest that Flexi is likely overriding the settings you have assigned on your cutter which could explain why the cutter isn't cutting deep enough. I would check that first and make the adjustment to use device values if you can. If that doesn't work I would...
  16. Need Help Summa Cutter is Cutting 1/16 Off Contour Cut Line

    What ended up being the solution, Sebastion? Best regards, Phil Johnson Airmark Corporation (800)527-7778, ext 112 philj@airmark.com
  17. Need Help Summa Cutter is Cutting 1/16 Off Contour Cut Line

    When was the last time you changed the pinch rollers on this cutter? Have you run any tracking tests to see if the material is "walking" as it is being fed forward? Have you had any cutting accuracy issues with this material in the past? Best regards, Phil Johnson Airmark Corporation...
  18. Need Help Summa Cutter is Cutting 1/16 Off Contour Cut Line

    Hi Sebastion, Did you just run the calibration once or did you run it multiple times? Our techs usually run the calibration at least 2-3 times because you can improve the accuracy by running more than one calibration. If these cuts are always off in the same direction by roughly the same...
  19. Need Help Summa Cutter is Cutting 1/16 Off Contour Cut Line

    Hi Sebastion, It sounds like it's time to run an OPOS calibration on your Summa. I have attached instructions for the OPOS calibration process to this message. We also offer tech support on the older Summa cutters as well in case you would prefer to have a tech walk you through the process and...
