You might want to consider CoCut Pro, for the future. It saves a bunch of steps and time by making CorelDRAW designs vinyl-ready when they're sent to the cutter. (from within Corel) It automatically groups and welds objects for cut-by-color and gives you the option of adding reg-marks for...

Or OEM. Software companies have conditions of sale that it must be part of an equipment sale. However, many countries do not allow such constraints on retail sales (freer markets). So the licenses are legit; software companies just won't admit that publically. (I've emailed Microsoft a few...

Hi Mike, I think I'd prefer a pimped shirt (human in it) above the fold. It's pretty text heavy with only some teaser photos. Also with tight spacing above the nav bar and more space beneath it-and-thumbs, it feels like it's hitting its head on the ceiling: But it's a great Blog...

OOPS, just read this. The new WinPlot is an altogether different program, intended for Summa cutter users. So they don't have or provide drivers for competing cutters. It's a service to buyers of their cutter, which is only fair. (All cutter makers do the same thing, pretty much). Best...

Hi Astro8, The old WinPlot was a bridge program, long since discontinued by AirMark (now Summa). It might have been a Windows 3.0 product, as I recall. I doubt it'll work on Win98, but I can't say for sure since I'm not a techy. And I don't think any Summa techs know or support it. But it...

Roland might have downloadable cut-drivers. Roland users? Any suggestions?

Hi Falcon, It'll print, and can be used as such. Banner and larger work you'll want to still send out. But a couple T Shirt transfers or small digital images, great. And no waiting or hassle of outsourcing. Plus, cut, indeed. It's still a very capable plotter. BTW, what do you use...

It's most useful as a cutter, or very short run stuff. The ribbon cost is what gets it on large work. Ecosols are printing in the $1 / sq ft range; ColorCAMM is nearer to $8. So you can probably buy wholesale for less money, on larger projects. It depends on how cheap "really cheap" is...

Graphtec for cutting, hands-down. It's better than all roll-fed cutters, in pure cutting ability. Summa, I believe, has more accurate and automated contour-cutting ability. So if only contour-cutting, Summa would be the ultimate choice, I think. And I'd also suggest that separate print and...

Tangential mode.

Welcome from Tejas!

Check eBay / Craigslist / et al for a Fargo Primera or Pictura. They're probably going for around $500 ... the caveat is where to buy supplies. But a Google search might lead to a supplier of Fargo ribbons and cut-sheet vinyl. A used Roland ColorCAMM might be a cheap entry as well, but...

Oops! You're in Uraguay ... sorry! I gotta start checking location. Email to support@summausa.com or call +01 206 527 1050 and ask for support, and if a Spanish-speaking tech is on duty. Buena suerte, Jim

Probably a faulty sensor, or perhaps a firmware glitch, which can be fixed with a firmware reinstall. Call Summa support at 800.323.9766. It's still just past 3PM in Seattle, so you should be able to get through. You're still under warranty, too, I'm guessing, since the D75-R is a fairly new...

They need more monitors :^)

I think that's the engraving module

Hi Cptcorn, I've not, personally, found a trade-off in quality with 1 vs. 2 monitors. I've always run both at full resolution and highest quality; currently mine are both wide aspect ratio models, which can help with arranging Photoshop tools outside the work area using a single display. But...

Hi Casey, No argument. If regularly working in that kind of environment, or even in the same neighborhood, go hog wild. Rent a room full of Crays and it'll cost-justify. I just tend to think that current-best is a bit of overkill -- and too spendy. Folks spend thousands on tech that'll...

Hi Casey, What was the res and color depth of the file you scaled to 500%? Thanks, Jim

Hi Jace! Thanks for getting my back on the 2X monitor thing. Whew! No kidding, going back to one would be tough after using two. I've been using two for about 4 or 5 years, and I think I'd give up chocolate or my oldest child before I'd sacrifice a second monitor. (kidding of course)...
