This is a typical symptom of a worn tangential head. You can try to replace the cutting strip and adjust the knife landing (set to 0, then increase value until the knife gets down on the cutting strip and add 4 units) within the coil setup in the cutters menu, perhaps it works. Some people have...

Flexi supports a lot of measuring devices. It depends on your application and how often do you do calibrating and profiling. The most affordable device for printer profiles is an i1 Pro (current model 3), the most useful (different sizes of measuring apertures, reflective and transmissive...

Roll to Roll with the take-up- unit? There is nothing to configure in Flexi, you have to activate it in the menu, and then set it up in the plotter to take up Job by job or Panel by panel.

Most of the USB- to Serial-Adaptors are activating a Com-Port, so there should be a Com-Port to select in Winplot.

If having a working RS232-interface, a standard null modem cable should work (could be hard to still find some). If you really have a connection through summa cutter control, but not with winplot, it could be that the baud rate set in winplot is wrong (summa cutter control detect the rate...

Summa Cutter Control Software. Downloadable at the summa website. Do not change anything other in the menus except deactivation of the OPOS-Sensor. Should be in one of the main menus, not in the parameters list. If you do not find anything, switch machine type to a model without OPOS and back.

You need to replace the flatcable from the mainboard to the tool carriage. This is a very common issue.

Service Mode Summa Cutter Control: press "Shift"-Key when booting.

On older machines were OPOS was an option, it is possible to deactivate OPOS through the service mode of summa cutter control, and reactivate it later. Could help too, and will not reset the whole machine. Simply forgotten, its such a long time ago :-) .

Could be a tracking roblem either. What exactly happen when cutting circles?

Have you done an OPOS-Calibration? Most of the time, if OPOS-calibration wont help, it is rather the overall condition of the cutter, like worn pinch rollers, worn belts and so on than problems with the OPOS-Sensor. A Summacut SE could be around 15 years or older.

If you buy a Latex 315 Print & Cut-Bundle, you will get a Summa Cutter for a very low price.

I like the DC. Most files are needing preparation to pull the most out of it (assigning spot colors for example), the production price is higher than with ink jet, photo quality is poor compared to ink jet, it prints vinyl only, and the printer have a more or less visible banding line every...

Third party RIP´s are working, but only with USB-Connection directly. We had problems with Mimaki Network connection often, e. g. with TS55-1800.

Do you mean "higher than 3.2", or exactly 3.2? The machine I have delivered to a customer has 3.4.1 . It works with Rasterlink only over the network, and if using an USB device server (SEH, we have worked a lot with them), the printer freezes when plugged in (or freezes when booting while...

Any Idea to connect that printer over network to drive it with a third party rip? I have tested it with Rasterlink, Digital Factory, Flexi and Onyx … Rasterlink is the only RIP which works.

Set the media correctly. Or give more information …

PNG is not supported, as far as I remember.

If you use Flexi, in the "Contour"-Tab of the "Rip & Print"-Window you have an option "Rotate cut job". This will let the RIP rotate the contour cut markers horizontally. A customer of mine is using that for contour cutting with his 64" Latex an Summa S75. Interesting side effect: if you use a...

What software do you use? Sometimes, with Flexi, a wrong or missing "end of file"-command have leaded to that the cutter don´t cut the last panel. This problem is solvable, but wont explain it without evidence that you use Flexi (no time). If it is really the red marked line only, leaving a...
