  2. Roland GX 300 or Summa D75 ?

    Do you want to do contour cutting now or in the near future? If yes, choose the Summa: it has the much better system for that job. I have no idea which media can be cut by a GX300, but not by a summa.
  3. Recommendation on an odorless printer for indoor use

    There is no latex available with metallic and white. Even with a metallic eco solvent (not odorless), you will not be satisfied with the metallic effects in comparison to thermal transfer metallic. You could check the Summa DC4. It is thermal transfer like the Gerber, but with a printing width...

  6. Media Select Kit

    Have installed one, I work as a supporter for a summa dealer in europe. You will get instructions how to do it with the kit.

    The loading procedure is different to other printers. But, If you check how it works it's easy. On a Latex 280 (104"), I was able to load a 100"-Canvas roll easily without any help.

I work at a dealer, doing for example demonstrations of signmaking units like printers and cutters. One...

    With Flexi, you have a little app named "Preference Manager" (in the "Program"-Menu in "Sai Production Suite" or in the program folder). When you have Flexi configured as you want to you could open this app (after closing Flexi) and save the current settings with a name as you want to (just...
  18. looking for a new plotter to do perf cutting, suggestions?

    All Summa Cutters will do that without manual intervention as changing the knife position. There are some configurations to do before, for example setting the knife depth to cut through the liner, and setting up the knife pressures, but you don't need to do that for every single job. In Flexi...
  19. ROLAND ECO-SOLVENT vs. HP LATEX - My personal experience owning both.

    One thing is different between the XC540/L260/FB500 on one hand and the Latex 360 on the other: because the 360 is a Contone Printer, everything except the ICC-Profile (Dithering, Ink Limiting, linearisation) is processed in the printer. Only the ICC-Profile-Creation makes sense to be done in...
