The cutting strip on the summa is a soft material, as you know the cutting strip on the graphtec is a hard plastic. I'm not happy with my Graphtec anyhow and looking for something else to replace it with.

Hey All, I already own a Summa S2T which I LOVE, however I am looking for another "lower end" plotter, but I would like something that does the perf/flex cut and kiss/contour cut all in one pass like the Summa cutters do. My Graphtec FC8600 requires me to change/move the blade for perf/flex...

You have to connect them to your ethernet network and connect your pc to the same network. You then give each of the cutters an IP address and address from your cut software by IP address.

Send me a PM with your email, I'll send you some of our sample files. Happy to have you print them at the best settings you can and prove me wrong. Also, let me clarify - solid blue/red/blacks and general safety/compliance sign type colors are fine on the latex. When you get into the lighter...

This is an absolutely false statement. The technical aspects of the HP alone counter your claim. The ink picolitre size and the fixed droplet size of 12 pl alone prove this is not correct. I'm an HP fan, but I'll put my money where my mouth is. Take a high end graphic and print it on the...

I'm not so sure the barcode option is unique to the HP Summa cutters, I can do barcodes on my Summa with Flexi today, and a couple of others on here have posted tutorial's on how to do full roll barcode cuts.

That example you posted looks like a die/perf/half cut only, which would be a one-pass with the blade holder in the die cut position on the Graphtec, that is correct. If you are set on a Graphtec, I'll sell you my FC8600, it is hardly used and collecting dust, then I can use those funds to get...

This is a horrible suggestion! I have a gerber, and I could never do stickers with it unless I was doing 1 color stickers. With the gerber you have to change out the foil for EACH color, and then run the vinyl material through it again. Forget about doing gradients and blended type colors...

For us, this isn't a problem, we are an ecomm store only, so we don't have to deliver same day stuff. I haven't purchased the Epson yet, will most likely after Christmas. I will dig out my Epson print samples tonight and post them in this thread, not sure if I did a solid dark color, but I'll...

Typical, I was working with HP for a long time on this issue, the senior tech @ HP finally told me (and told a couple of other customers that I've communicated with) that the quality I am getting is the best it will ever be and the printer wasn't designed for high quality images with close up...

We do stickers and started with a latex 300 series. After two years of dealing with grainy prints for our stickers, we are looking to move to the Epson S 80600 machine. Our sample prints off of the Epson compared to the HP put the HP to shame when it comes to near photo quality prints. Our HP...

If you want quality prints for your stickers look at the Epson S series. These are the only solvent printers currently on the market that are near photographic quality prints.

Just to echo what others have said above...I started with a Graphtec FC8600 (top of the line Graphtec), and it sits idle now that I got a Summa last year (S2T model). We are a small shop and focus on decals and stickers and being able to perf cut and contour cut in one pass is amazing. With...

You need aqueous vinyl for pigment or dye based machines.

I haven't been in this industry long, only 4 years or so, and I've had nothing but great service and pricing from my Grimco rep. I get orders next morning via their delivery service, and if something isn't in stock it takes 2 or 3 days with no additional FedEx or UPS charges. If I find a...

Will piercings work?

Neither did I, until I did...nearly 1.5 years into running the machine.

Looks like it has a cross cutter in the printer now, other than that I didn't see anything new in the video.

Yes, I've had this happen on my 310...same issue. Said there was ink left when there wasn't and it destroyed the head(s). You should have a warranty on the heads up to 1000ml though them. Call HP, they'll send you replacement heads. I never did get an answer on why it said there was ink left...

You should take a look at the Epson S80, while Eco-sol you can still lam the same day. I am an HP Latex 3xx user and considering adding the S80 to my workflow due to print quality on the 3xx series latex machines. That being said, we do close up stickers (1 foot or closer) and need a better...
