  2. Blade depth changing during cutting.

    Can't say that I have ever experienced the actual blade depth turning on it's own. I was going to say that possibly one side of the blade is worn heavier than the other or the tip is snapped off but the blade holder turning on its own is freaky
  3. Anyone else noticed very premature laminate failures with turning black etc lately?

    I have seen this happen but thankfully I have had no real failures that I know of

  5. Pdf file sent direct to flexi prints different than 1 that has gone through signlab first

    I tried a test and instead of sending a file out as an eps file I sent it as a pdf file as it was originally and all the colours are perfect...strange indeed.
  6. Pdf file sent direct to flexi prints different than 1 that has gone through signlab first

    How annoying is this? I use Signlab as my main setup software as I am pretty fast in it and Flexi is designated strictly for print cut only. I am amazed at how a pdf file will change colours just by simply importing it and then exporting it as an eps file. I don't think it does it all the...
  7. 54” Summa S2-140T

    this plotter unlike every other plotter I have used for 30 years will not just simply allow you to remove the holder and put a new one in...you have to unscrew the holder to release it from the main head and in doing so I think you are retracting the blade all the way before the actual holder...
  8. Summa S2 T series plotter question

    I had my new plotter for about 2 weeks when it was discovered that the mechanism that allow you to adjust the blade was jammed and the entire head had to be swapped out for a new one. In that 2 week period before I even knew there was an issue I was cutting 3 ml vinyl with 3 ml lam at about 135...
  9. Heat Guns

    I bought a no name cordless heat gun on Amazon... it's good for about 15 minutes then kapoot. I knew that going in, but it is good on small jobs outside when you really don't want to run a power cord or can't access power
  10. 54” Summa S2-140T

    update on the new Summa. I have not really played around with the blade holder but the other day it just seems to be cutting to deep and I looked under the blade holder to see how far the blade was out.. Almost an 1/8" which is way to far. Tried unscrewing the blade holder and it turned about...
  11. 54” Summa S2-140T

    Problem not solved yet.... I now see that any old file I open to reprint and cut has the cut info included in the file, which means just about anything outside of new files has to have this secondary step taken to go in and turn off Flexi info to allow the Summa to control the cut info.... There...
  12. 54” Summa S2-140T

    I had a technical guy show me in Flexi... There are 2 places where you can set these preferences..why? I have no idea. One is in production manager where I knew to go but the one that overides everything is in the rip and print menu...it looks identical so I am not sure what the other one is...
  13. 54” Summa S2-140T

    I have a question about the plotter... I have up till now just cut printed graphics and it is awesome...but today I thought lets just get it to cut regular vinyl. I set the weight up on the unit itself and then when it went to cut it was shearing right through the vinyl and I can see that the...
  14. Not sure if this is a Summa issue or a Flexi issue

    I now realize that it is much faster and easier to just do it on the cutter. Thanks guys, BTW this new T series is awesome...finds every mark no problem so far...very pleased as my old d-140 has been trying to kill me with frustration for the last 10 years!!
  15. How to lock in registration mark distance

    I have no idea how I did it before but have spent far too much time trying to find where I can lock in the registration mark distance from one another. I had it set to the maximun 19" for the longest time, then I hada new Summa installed and I think the tech did something and every job now goes...
  16. Credit Cards

    I was always pretty sure when you signed up with processing companies that part of the contract was that you do not charge a fee to use credit cards. Maybe it has changed, but sometimes I am relived when someone uses a credit card as I know I won't be chasing money later on which if you think...
  17. Not sure if this is a Summa issue or a Flexi issue

    I like the idea of running my vinyl cutter for printed graphics with the blade weight controlled by Flexi as to adjusting it on the cutter itself. I have always done it that way with my old machine and for whatever reason feel comfortable doing it that way...however I have tried a few times and...
  18. Finally received my Summa s2 140 t series plotter....awesome

    WOW! I can't believe I have been suffering with my old Summa D140 all these years. This new plotter cuts fantastic and reads all the marks so far. Just curious if anyone out there running this plotter on Flexi can explain to me how to make the new plotter my default when sending print/cut...
  19. Does Flexi not have a save function where I can save "SELECTED" as an option?

    It seems to me I have to save everything on the screen and I don't want to do that. Is there a different function to do that?
  20. Teflon cutting strips for Graphtec

    you cant lift the strip and rotate it as it is basically a thin piece of whatever they are calling teflon with adhesive that seperates from the strip. I think that the seperation of the adhesive is actually why they wear out so fast. Even new strips the adhesive just does not want to stay on.
