Yes I'm aware. As stated in my original post, the knife depth and pressure seemed fine at the start of each job, then after running for a while you could hear the tool being mashed into the vinyl much harder, ruining the job. There is clearly a fault with the machine. I'm not sure exactly what...

I should add you can cut unlammed full bleed latex graphics straight off the printer without them curling up.

We do a lot of short term window decals on monomeric vinyl. With the latex they really don't need to be laminated so we're saving time & money. On our old Rolands unlammed prints were too stretchy from solvents and weren't as scratch resistant so nearly everything had to be laminated.

Nobody did help me, including you. But thanks for chipping in. Showing real class yourself there mate. A couple of 'experts' told me I caused a problem with their bulletproof machine by using it incorrectly. It's almost as if I haven't run vinyl cutters every working day for many many years as...

The blade wasn't cutting through the backing paper. But the machine going ballistic with pressure made an impression on the reverse that wasn't normal. Thanks for everyone's concern though. I know how to load vinyl in a cutter. I've been doing it every day for my business... The tech replaced a...

Are you printing colour bars in the gutters? That stopped barcode reading on my Summa cutter.

Are Onyx CutServer/Summa Barcode server all on the same PC?

We often laminate whole rolls of vinyl at a time. How do you do that on a table?

Yes just lay the cut path over your image where you want to cut and give it a spot colour fill called CutContour and Onyx will see and cut it. The path will show in Preflight. Select your cutter, rip it then as soon as you hit print the cutfile goes to CutServer.

Haha love the way you ignore the problem I have and tell me I'm using the thing wrong. Maybe Kelly's problem is caused by incorrect blade length too.. Summa S2T 140 consistently poor print/cut

It was cutting perfectly until 10 minutes into the job when it went crazy hard. Maybe the blade was out a hair too much but explain how the blade length would cause the problem. I've used vinyl cutters for many years so think i can set one up by now. It's clearly a fault with the machine...

Separate RIP PC running Thrive 12. It drives 3 HP latex and an Arizona. My workstation is a grunty thing thing huge RAM and SSDs to set files up quickly. QNAP NAS with everything on it. Another PC runs the vinyl cutters.

Reseller.

The tech came and tinkered. By the time he left it wouldn't boot up without some kind of y axis error. Parts supposed to arrive tomorrow.

That's interesting. Maybe one day I'll start a thread asking advice on what pressure to set my cutters. But not today.

No it's set at 60 for cast but is going way harder than that. There are no double cuts. 1st thing I checked. It's still under warranty so a tech should be here today or tomorrow. Lucky we kept the D160 as a backup for times like this.

We've had this cutter for a few months now and once set up has been great. Just lately we've had an issue where we set the pressure correctly then part way into the job it will increase the knife pressure so much it ruins the job. Like it would cut through the backing if we didn't have the...

Maybe you should get someone in and set it up properly for you?

Metal stencil then blowtorch.
