Thanks! I understand about the tech support. SW has been great with plotter tech support I've had throughout the years, but I am guessing printing is a whole new beast. I gotta imagine there are technicians in NYC where I live that can service machines? Any suggestions?

Hello potential salesman or woman, I recently was told by a client that I would get all of their work if I got my own printer. This would triple my biz. Only problem is I know nothing about large format printing. Regardless, I am buying my own printer.. new. I am keen on the signwarehouse...

BigFish I just called you, give me a call when you have some time. BTW ever work with a CANON Image Program 4000?

I may need to buy a printer. My biz is growing and getting lots of requests for print jobs. I don't know anything about printing other than my clients will need prints on white vinyl, tiled together. I'm looking at an inkjet from SignWarehouse for $10k, but seeing there are Epsons out there for...

VIDA GRAPHICS in NYC has great prices for marking up. They are a sign shop in Chinatown NYC. I use them for smaller stuff.

I got a lemon. It happens. plain and simple. I did every fix recommended on this site and via their customer service. Nothing worked.

I did all the suggestions above including: Swapped the plotter head, re-leveled the head, swapped the blade, ran it on drag, ran it on tangential, calibrated the knife, tested the depth on many different levels, tested different materials, ran it through 3 different computers and 2 different...

What is the circle tool? If you mean a vector circle designed in illustrator, I did try that and it still happens. I can't see any notches in the vector files. Even when close up. d

Being that it can barely cut Oracal 631, I'd say no. See pic. Worst plotter I have ever owned.

I just got a tangential and it's terrible. The worst plotter I have ever owned. After 2 weeks of troubleshooting with SUMMA which included: Leveling the blade holder, changing the blade, swapping out the blade holder changing the speeds, depths pressures, velocities, material. As well as...

Thanks so much for your reply AF! 've slowed it down to 4 inches per second. I use both rollers (only 2 provided) I can't use other materials, because all my clients need a matte finish, but I did run 651 through it as well and it still happening. Oracal 631 is the only brand that sells a...

I've had similar problems with my Summa!! Just bought it 1 month ago! Trying to get my money back now actually. Mine is brand new only 1 month old and out of the box it was putting notches in circles and any letter with a curve. Summa said that some materials such as Oracal 631 (the most...

My brand new SUMMA S2 T75 tangential cutter is not cutting circles properly. It leaves a notch on the sides of these letters. Basically o's and dots on i's or any letter with a curve. I ran 20 yards or so of 1" Futura font through on multiple settings, relieved the head, switched out the head...

My sign company needs qualified installers in the NYC area for indoor vinyl lettering installation. Pay is $25-$35 per hour. This is not a part time or full time position. Jobs are on an as needed basis. Installers can take or decline jobs as they come. 3 consecutive installs work earns a $50...

Just bought a Summa S2 tangential. Not working......

I am trying to emulate VLXI through my mac on parallels. It's not working due to a authentication code warning. The vendor who sold me the software has re-set the authentication code and it still does not work. Any thoughts out there as to how to get this software to run via parallels. My...

I am contemplating buying a Summa cutter. The tangential cutters are a considerable cost, but they seem to be worth the price as it claims to be a better machine a better cut and better tracking and repeatability? The reason I am doing this is because my current plotter is on the out and I...

Anyone out there know anythning about press type lettering, aka dry transfer?It is used when letters get to small for vinyl. Currently I use a vendor for it, but its way expensive and now proving to be more of a headache than an asset to outsource. Any information on this, whether it be...
