  1. Substance cutting graphtec or summa?

    Hi Danielle, One of our clients recently put the S2 T Series through all its paces trying to cut this material and unfortunately the 21 mil stock just won't cut consistently on the S2 T Series. It's a really heavy material that is difficult to track and while the S2 has enough force to cut it...
  2. Need Help Summa S160 T Series: Dual Head?

    Hi Logan, I received your email and sent you a reply. I checked inventory and we do have the dual head assembly kits in stock if you wanted to go that route. Like others mentioned above and I did as well in my email, when you install the dual head you lose OPOS so you wouldn't be able to do...
  3. Suggestions Looking to purchase first routing table for the shop, suggestions?

    Good morning, As previously mentioned, the F1612 is a capable and more affordable alternative to the other brands you mentioned. We have some really nice promos on the F-Series machines right now and have worked with many members here on the site, including Sean. Let me know if I can answer...
  4. Want to buy Summa 1612 flatbed cutter or similar...

    Hi Dennis, I sent you a PM last week regarding the F1612. Did you see that by chance? We have these in stock and can offer great pricing and a quick turnaround time for install if this is still a need. Let me know if there's anything we might be able to do to help. Thanks, Dennis! Best...
  5. Looking for a Summa D140 or D160 plotter

    Good morning, We may be able to help out. Did you have a certain budget in mind and were you strictly looking for a used machine or would a new machine at a great price be something you might consider? Also, just to make sure the D140/160 will be the best fit for your needs, what sorts of...
  6. Need Help Summa F1612

    The ADX models from American Rotary would be a very good choice. You can hardwire directly to the machine or install a plug, either way. As for the RIP software, Onyx would be a good option to facilitate the barcode workflow but you would still need to upgrade the GoProduce to add barcode...
  7. Summa F1612 - Cuts are consistently off in one direction

    That's simply not a true statement and we have successfully installed several hundred of these flatbeds all over the country. Our team trained Summa's technicians originally and know these flatbeds better than anyone(we used to own and operate Summa and developed the F-Series technology). We...
  8. S Class - how many pinch rollers do you need?

    If your accuracy issues are being caused because the material is flexing/puckering, then yes, adding the extra rollers will keep the material down flatter and reduce the gap distances between the rollers and your cuts should be more accurate. They will also help to prevent the knife from...
  9. New Guy Hello there from the burbs of Washington

    Hi Andy, Welcome from another PNWer and long time member here on the site. We aren't too far away from you here in Seattle and offer all sorts of different media, software, and equipment and I would be happy to be a resource for you if you ever have questions about your existing equipment or...
  10. Summa Gosign

    Just wanted to confirm that the OPOS Cam cutters still require a USB connection regardless of whether you are using the new GoSign software or not. The GoSign software does have a new user interface that has a material manager with customizable tool action sets so you can define what types of...
  11. S Class - how many pinch rollers do you need?

    The accuracy shouldn't be affected by adding additional pinch rollers in the middle(the middle rollers have half the pressure of the outer rollers and the outer rolls are primarily responsible for material tracking), however your minimum cut width does increase by adding each roller by about...
  12. can you explain "Spot Colors"?

    As was suggested, you might get a copy of the spectratone guide from Gerber if you can because you can blend the base spot colors to create custom colors. There are around 80 or so base spot colors with the Gerber machines and the guide will provide the pantone code and tell you which two colors...
  13. OPOS cutting on the Summa DC5

    Good morning, Unfortunately the answer to your question is there isn't a way to do OPOS cutting on your DC5. On some previous models like the DC4 you could use the machine to do cut only functions using Winplot(this was a while back now) but that was just cut only without any registration...
  14. Is there any way to print barcodes along the Y axis instead of X on Onyx?

    Hi Mark, First off, congrats on the Summa cutter! Sorry we weren't able to work together on this one but maybe next time we can help. As far as the barcode goes, why are you assigning the barcodes to sheet materials? Typically the barcodes are used when printing multiple jobs up on a roll of...
  15. Economical printer, to print on engineer grade, reflective adhesive label material

    Do you have a certain budget in mind for the printer and do you have a cutter and laminator already? Also, what software do you have currently or are planning to get for designing your print and cut files? We(Airmark) are a merchant member here on the site and may be able to help but I need a...
  16. Bypass pinch roller detection ?

    You should just need Summa Cutter Control, which is included with the Summa Cutter Tools download that you can get here - https://www.airmark.com/pages/summacut-vinyl-cutter-downloads. When you launch cutter control you will need to hold down the shift key to unlock the service tab. There is...
  17. Bypass pinch roller detection ?

    The 399-307 is the part number for the outside rollers on the SummaCut machines but the 399-308 is for the middle rollers. I looked at the compatibility info for those part numbers and it only lists the D120-R, D140-R, and the D160-R so that could also be why things aren't working correctly...
  18. Gerber Edge FX Print Quality

    Looks like you are printing raster images(could be wrong and maybe you can clarify) and not vector images and that probably isn't helping your cause. Whenever possible I would design using vectors with solid colors(spot colors will be better than process) and would avoid using image files like...
  19. Bypass pinch roller detection ?

    Did you try installing the media select kit(395-426 is the Summa part number) on the SummaCut machine? If so, the detection sensor on those functions differently and will not work correctly on the SummaCut(SummaCut face up and S2 face forward). Not sure if there is a way to turn off the roller...
  20. Bypass pinch roller detection ?

    Are you trying to have the cutter recognize the new roller or something else? If you are trying to have the cutter recognize the third roller there is a process for that but if you are trying to modify the assembly to get it to fit on the cutter that will be a lot more challenging. If you can...
