  5. Small format auto feeder print-to-cut machine decision

    So I see the info on the Summa website for that option on the S1 plotters like you said. I'm not quite sure about those new models, I don't know why someone would chose the Summa S1 D160 vs the T160 Opus Cam. One apparently is drag knife and the other is tangenital but so what, and other than...

  7. Need Help Summa S160 T Series: Dual Head?

    For typical patterns to fabric, we will simply print the patterns, hand cut the patterns, pin them to fabric and hand cut the fabric. Depending on what it is we are doing, we will also print the fabric directly with the pattern and then hand cut it. A machine like the F1612 would be great...
  8. Need Help Summa S160 T Series: Dual Head?

    Logan, strangely enough, I happened to do a lot of pattern printing myself this morning and we just had a conversation about whether or not you could possible cut the patterns out on the plotter. Ours were printed on 20# Bond paper and I can't see any way possible that you could cut that on a...
  9. Need Help Summa S160 T Series: Dual Head?

    Why do you think the OPOS is not a good choice unless you really need it? What determines if you really need it? Also, from the looks of it, that dual head allows you to use both things at the same time but with the regular OPOS head you can still cut and pen plot, you just have to switch them...

    I certainly would participate, I think it's amazing what you are doing from the start of your business through the development of your FileMaker software system that is today operating your major company today.

  15. RFQ/New Job Specs Checklist

    ColorCrest......I'm curious, in your excellent example, what FM classification are each of those Line Items? I think FileMaker is the perfect platform for creating anything from a simple work order to a full management system for any type of sign business. I used to develop systems in FileMaker...

  17. RFQ/New Job Specs Checklist

    Excel is a great program and it seems to be a fine way to create specific sheets for specific tasks but probably not the final answer for a more complete solution. I'd like to see what kind of a sheet you have for starters in your Excel.
  18. RFQ/New Job Specs Checklist

    It's ironic how whenever I have some issue that I'm trying to work out, someone on Signs101 will just happen to ask the very same questions at the same time. After many years of contemplating a major change in how we do business, I'm finally committed to acting on it. One of the first things is...
  19. Windshield Window Decals

    Are those static cling or adhesive vinyl? If they are vinyl you don't need to print white of course unless you need them to go on the inside of the glass but that doesn't seem to be what your picture shows. What size are they and how many do you need to start?
  20. Vinyl Posters Cold Weather Install on Windows

    I just did graphics on 10 large windows with 3M IJ180cv3 with 8518 gloss laminate and it went on very well. I had to trim and remove a small portion and that came off in chips. The temperature was about 25 degrees and it was a dry installation of course.
