  2. Discussion Summa D Series S2 plotter Feedback

    Which Summa model were you using previously? All of the new models are capable of contour cutting and feature OPOS X, which is the latest version of our optical sensor used to detect registration marks when contour cutting. Perhaps you had a really old Summa model without OPOS? Best regards...

  4. 45 Degree Vs 60 Degree

    Good morning, For your SummaCut model we recommend using the 36 degree blades for cutting materials up to 10 mil. For materials thicker than 10 mil up to the max of 30 mil you will want to use the 60 degree blades. Keep in mind that the 60 degree blades do require a different blade holder that...
  5. Need Help Best Bits For Routing Mounted Prints

    One thing that would be worth a try that has worked well using the Summa F-Series when routing mounted prints is to kiss cut the edge of the graphic with a bladed tool prior to routing the edge. We have found that this removes a lot of the rough edge that you often find when routing the edge of...
  6. New To Vinyl Cutting, Need Guidance.

    Do you have a certain width in mind for the cutter? What sorts of materials were you hoping to cut and will you need the ability to contour cut? Will you be using a Mac or a PC to run your design and cutting programs? Also, do you currently have a cutter that you are using, and if so, how many...
  7. Need Help Summa Dc5sx Vs Hp 110 And Laminator

    Hi Nanci, I definitely agree starting with the plotter would be a great way to go like I mentioned yesterday. I will send you some pricing for both the 30" and 54" cutters that we discussed yesterday. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat about the different options. Best regards, Phil...
  8. Summa S2t Cutting Reflective Issues

    Hi Mgieske, Are you cutting engineer grade reflective, prismatic reflective, or diamond grade reflective? How long of a cut are you attempting to do? If you are cutting longer than 4 feet do you have paneling turned on? What about your velocity setting? Best regards, Phil Johnson Summa Inc.
  9. Roland Gx-300 Questions-need To Purchase A New Plotter.

    Hello Calliegraphics, I am not sure if you have looked at one of our SummaCut Series models, but it would definitely be a reliable alternative to your Graphtec that just went out. Our machines are manufactured in Belgium and typically last 10+ years, even with daily use. Please feel free to...

  11. T-750 Pro Not Cutting A Part Of The Letters.

    Hi Knep, Have you noticed the incomplete portions being at the start and stop points of the letters? Best regards, Phil Johnson Summa Inc.
  12. Bad Tracking And Skew Cuts

    Are you using the OPOS XY align option in Onyx as Jerry suggested? Also, just to clarify, I don't recommend adding additional pinch wheels as perfectpdf suggested. Your cutter already has 4 pinch wheels which is more than enough for the material you are cutting. In fact, I probably wouldn't even...

    Excellent, thank you for making that happen! Best regards, Phil Johnson Summa Inc.
  14. News We're Back Online With Our New Design!

    Thank you for replying to my question. When you say the search function sorts results by relevance, yet when I type a simple search query like Summa and it brings up posts from 12 years ago, I am not sure how "relevant" those search results are. Is there a way that I can adjust my settings where...
  15. News We're Back Online With Our New Design!

    I noticed that when searching the results are not sorted based on the age of the thread and a lot of older threads are listed before the most current threads. They also seem to vary from search to search. For example, I did a search for Summa and the first batch of results were from 2014 and...
  16. Advice needed

    Good afternoon, I would consider one our SummaCut Series models. You won't get all the "bells and whistles" that are included with our S2 models, but you will get superior cutting accuracy and tracking compared to Graphtec, Roland, and Mimaki and the pricing is comparable to the other brands...
  17. DC4sx Color Control Question

    Bummer! Well, at least you can output jobs through Flexi. Ironically I was working with another client of mine who has a DC5 and they are also using Flexi and it looks like they have an updated color palette available in the latest version of Print & Cut with all the different spot colors. So...

  19. DC4sx Color Control Question

    Hi Ruckstande, Just wanted to confirm what Jayhawk said about the dongle being required to run the ColorControl RIP. The color profiling for the DC3/4/5 in Flexi is poor in comparison to the profiles in ColorControl which are made specifically to work with the DC3/4/5 so process printing may be...
  20. Suggestions replacement lades for Summa flatbed cutter

    Good afternoon, I just wanted to clarify that the bits you are describing are sold in a 3-pk for $208 so they are actually $69/bit, not $208/bit. That said, if you are looking for a wider selection, and perhaps better pricing as well, I would suggest Hartlauer...
