  3. I'm looking to get into the UV Printing and Substrate cutting???

  5. COLEX Sharpcut vs MULTICAM Digital Express

  6. COLEX Sharpcut vs MULTICAM Digital Express

    Colorado, Lots of good posts! 2CT nailed it, <<Now firstly, what are you looking to accomplish with this machine?>> That is the $64K Question! If routing material thicker than 1 inch or thick metal substrates, then Summa is not in consideration. On the other hand, a Summa F1832 (6' x 10')...

  13. Summa S2T140 & Signlab 10 - skipping over while cutting

    Need more info on this. Do you mean that it skips the cut for about 1.8"? Or does jump/move over, thus making the entire cut offset. Possibly a dirty nose-piece. Probably not a security thing, unless its hooked up via TCP/IP. Send the job via USB to eliminate that as a cause. Never seen an...
