Thermal Transfer is my suggestion, hands-down. It's the best solution by far for small / speciality decal printing. (Your Roland ColorCAMM notwithstanding; other products are WAY better) Summa DC4sx (best in automation, by far) EDGE / Cutter (best in media and ribbon selection, by far)...

Good answer. For R Series support, email jonathan.gripp@signwarehouse.com. He's the tech that evaluated the product originally; he knows it better than anyone. Good luck.

Hi MM, Heather Bennett is great. If / when, she'll no doubt give you a great deal any time. It's true. I'm no longer with SW. I guess I picked the wrong year to make a career-change. But moving to Texas after living under Seattle rain clouds for 49 years was absolutely a plus...

The used market is wide open, albeit, OPOS X-generation Summa cutters and Graphtec ARMS-equipped FC and Q Series cutters are the only solutions I'd suggest. Contour-cutting is very unforgiving; even tiny inaccuracies can trash high-value output. In new, current Q Series and Graphtec 7000...

This is a big deal. The red light was designed for use with thermal transfer (no lamination), and doesn't read through lamination as reliably as blue light. If cutting inkjet output, SummaCut-R, Summa S Class and Vinyl Express Q Series / Graphtec FC Cutting Pro series, which all use blue...

Ahhh, you do care!!! ;^) Thanks, Case. Indeed, 130, not 140. (red face) Best, Jim

You might want to check with dealers. The 7000 is a prior-generation model that many might want to liquidate ... and economic times being what they are, cash is king :^) Moreover, I've heard some grumblings that the 8000, while inclusive of some great enhancements, might not be as stout as...

I'll assume you meant to say: couldn't care less. If so, fair enough. Best, Jim

Sorry; there was a time when I could walk over to the tech manager and query: WTF??? But alas, no more. You may be right. I seem to recall them saying they like to do the upgrade to avoid damaging the cutter. (don't ask; I'm not a tech :^) So shipping it back may be true; and tape probably...

The making of vodka is an exercise in distilling pure grain alcohol, which is then diluted with purified water. It's easily one of the most indistiguishable of the spirits; and differentiated largely by packaging, price and branding. Interesting you should choose such an analogy :^) Anyway...

That would be true if the "well vodka" were made by the maker's of Grey Goose. -Jim

FC7000-100 and Q100 are both 42". The FC7000-130 is 54"; is it possible the used Graphtec is a 130? Anyway, either is a great deal. New gets you a fresh warranty. Used gets you a cutter with only 15 or so years of life left in it (and faster, more cut-force, ARMS, etc.) You can't make a...

Make sure the width of your Graphtec can cut a minimum of 1370 (48") wide. All cutters cat fit material that's wider than the max cut-width. So a 54" or 64" (140 or 160) cutter is the way to go. Whether cutting, or cross-cutting, the same applies. www.graphtecamerica.com has info and, I...

You have Photoshop; I'd use it and then flatten>save>import. Using the fill>pattern>custom>new pattern lets you add tiles to Photoshop and then fill any size space you wish. Best, Jim

Hi Mac Daddy, Nope; just eluding to the fact that my job prospects at non-Mutoh makers of printers might not be looking too good :^) Meanwhile, I think it's fair to say that speed and quality-at-speed, vis a vis i2/Wave printing, tips the scales in Mutoh's favor. Clearly so, at least for...

Have you contacted Summa support? They may be able to service it at their Peabody, MA facility.

Thanks for the well wishes. Maybe I shouldn't have been so Mutoh-centric after all ;^)

I'm no longer associated with SignWarehouse. Jerry Barrax could answer this question more accurately, and appropriately. Please check with him or call SW at 800.699.5512. Best, jim

Thinner PVC (Hartco, for example) or thicker/tougher rubber (Anchor, etc.)?

Factory training, which apparently I could benefit from having received. Keith has corrected my original post. As it turns out the change must be made in the engineering mode, not the standard menu. And our techs are a guarded with details on getting into engineering mode, which makes sense...
