  1. Epson 80600 Missing LC/LM

    I had black start to go out in head 2, then all of the sudden it threw a print head error code and now I am stuck. Waiting on a tech to come out now.
  2. Summa F1612 - Vacuum recomendation

    Check out this routing mat! I like it way better than the stock Summa one. It is slightly thinner, so you have to adjust the cut depth a little, but worth it. It is cleaner and the material will slide better on it as well. https://superiorcarbide.com/aquiline-underlay
  3. Summa F1612 - Vacuum recomendation

    I have mine through a dust stopper (on top of a 5gallon bucket) then into the biggest RIGID vacuum I could get. It has worked great so far. I use the bags in my vacuum too to make it cleaner.
  4. Summa frame made out of wood...?

    I have had the F1612 for the past 3 years and absolutely love it!! Are there some things I wish were different, of course. Mostly it is all software stuff since they have a specific software that has to run it. I have been in touch with Summa directly and most of the changes I am hoping to have...
  5. Head Soak

    Okay. Bigger problems than that, I keep getting the 1A39[SA003GA] error. And being 4 years old, I don't think its worth the $5500 price tag decision one quoted me to fix it.
  6. Head Soak

    I have some stuck nozzles in the black on one of my heads, Epson S80. I am wondering what the proper way to do a head soak is? I have never had to do one before. Thanks!!
  7. Epson launches first latex: SC-R5000

    my Epson dealer said he was told they have a flatbed in the works too.
  8. Which Hybrid ???

    I looked at all of these about 3 years ago. I went with the Fuji LED1600. To me, everything about it was better! Their service and support are great too, at least in my area.
  9. Summa vs Graphtec vs Roland

    I love my Summa!! I am still running my S-140T that is pushing 10 years old, still runs like new.
  10. Any UV Equipment out of Warranty?

    Running my Fuji LED1600 out of warranty. Warranties seemed to be way overpriced. I was quoted like $8k for a 1 year warranty.
  11. Alternative to 3M IJ35C?

    3755 is their thicker version. I prefer the thinner stuff.
  12. Alternative to 3M IJ35C?

    This is my go to: https://www.substanceincorporated.com/pdp.php?item=219
  13. Summa F1612 tools/questions

    My guess is that the polishing bit needs a lot higher RPM to be effective. Hitting the edge with a torch using MAP gas seems to do a good job polishing it up.
  14. Summa F1612 tools/questions

    You can find the same spindle out there to purchase. That brand, Kress/AMB, is not Summa exclusive. They actually just came out with a new one of this same model the Summa uses that has a software controlled speed control. It would be interesting to see if Summa would incorporate this.
  15. Summa F1612 tools/questions

    I just have the KRESS, now AMB, router with mine. It has worked flawlessly for anything the machine can cut. I have also seriously toyed with the idea up upgrading to the HF. Its just hard to justify the $15k price tag they want for it. Even jobs with multiple bits is easy to do. I actually...
  16. Cast or Calendared?

    I use cast laminate on everything. Almost every shrinking issue I have experienced appeared to be the calendared laminate shrinking. I have pretty much eliminated that since I switched to using all cast laminates.
  17. Review Mimaki UCJV300-160 vs Mutoh 1682SR

    I had the first 3 latex printers. They were nice, but after that I went to the Epson and don't think I would go back. At the same time, I think it depends what you are doing. If I needed to crank out stuff for same day type production, latex would probably be better. I however wanted the best...
  18. Setting up common / shared line cut file in Caldera for Summa?

    I do mine manually as well in Illustrator.
  19. Summa F1612 tools/questions

    I use the HD cut out tool for most things: a lot of thru cuts in vinyl, coroplast, foam core, pvc, etc. It's its a heaving media, over 5mm, I will just set it up to do multiple cuts to get through it and/or slow it down. I would honesty wait for the new creasing wheel. The old ones work, but...
  20. Summa F1612 tools/questions

    A lot of good responses here already. I agree, you will want the kiss-cut tool. - For operating with your rip, I do the following with caldera: send one file to caldera with marks/print job, then send another to GoProduce with the marks/cut file. I have a lot of jobs where I need...
