It's happening with UPS as well. 2 weeks in a row I've had material orders that get an "exception" and ended up having to drive to the sorting facility to pick them up and it happened again on my last shipment I was supposed to get last week.

Yeah I saw you have to change the position of it but it's better than me throwing away half a run because of cutting problems and having to reprint. I'm not concerned with as much speed as I am consistency in just getting jobs cut and done with the least amount of problems. I had initially...

I had recently bought a Summa D140 and I've been less than pleased with it. I was told I wouldn't have any problems doing die cut stickers on it but after using for a couple of months it's just been terrible for this. I've had to reprint and throw away more material than I should be, which has...

What I meant is that I can't afford to keep this and buy a new machine. Its just got me stressed out and finishing jobs more difficult and taking longer. My hope is that I can work something out to get back on track because I'm certain it's worth the upgrade. My entire goal was to have a machine...

Yes probably the strip needs replacing. I definitely don't have cash available for a $60k flatbed but I wish I would've looked at the Graphtec cutters because I think that would've been the option I need for what I do. I'm going to look into seeing if I can get rid of this machine. I've had it...

Yeah see I think it's wearing out faster because of volume and I think the tangential would help. Regular cuts are fine...I've got no issue with just a regular kiss cut. I haven't had it that long, but my blade definitely got switched around the 1000sq ft mark. I've tried several depths and...

That's pretty rare I do that high of numbers in a week. Just kinda all hit at once in that week. Usually I'm doing 3-5k pieces a week at most, which I don't feel is high production. But I don't know what kinds of numbers other people do in this kind of work. My background is from large...

I did some red metal flake and it couldn't even calibrate that media because it's dark and the marks are hard to see. I've gotten good results by placing some application tape over the mark and cutting the square out and then reading it. It's kind of a pain but it works.

I just feel like I was lead in the wrong direction for this cutter. They said I shouldn't have any problems doing full cut (die cut) stickers like I had been doing on my Roland. Obviously it's not meant to do them and if you do then you need to make sure your blade is very sharp and dialed in...

But do you do a lot of cutting through the backing material on your materials? That's where my issue seems to be with the cutting through.

I've gone through all of that to make sure the software wasn't overriding the machine settings. I feel like I should've gotten a graphtec because they have the cut channel for exactly this kind of stuff. Or would an S2 T work in doing a lot of die cut stickers? I've got to do something because...

Ok. I'm not going completely crazy then. Most of the weren't individual flex cut items. The majority of the 30k were kiss cuts but then I flex cut out the larger portions. (ie 20 labels per sheet) I do a fair bit of die cut stickers though it's usually like 200-500 per order most of the time...

4 rollers. I can't add anymore they said to the SummaCut version. It was fine when I put the blade in. I kiss cut about 7k labels and did a bunch of flex cuts on the label sheets. I just have a feeling I should've gotten the S2 T version. Over the last 7 days I've cut 30k labels and stickers. I...

New blades installed. Reset my depth and pressures. Cutting through a 3.4mil with a 3mil laminate worked great for about 2 days and now back to the same place I was before. The cuts get lighter and the left side of the sheet is not cut as deep as the right. So my guess is that if I do flex...

One reason I think is because they say the cut strip is damaged and I probably broke or dulled all my blades. Only one looks broken though. Getting new blades today, also I just think the way I'm used to setting up my sp540v is a little different than this machine. I've seen several different...

Yes it shows the all the cuts. I'm not sure if I tried turning any off in that case to see if it still only cut half. I'll have to try that a couple of those things. It just seems odd that one way of cutting it doesn't work.

Well with the blade pictured I was cutting Kiss cutting and flex cutting 3.4mil vinyl and of course through the backer. (I don't have a micrometer so I'm not sure of the thickness of the backer.) Most of what I cut is the 3.4mil with a 3mil vinyl. My Flex settings were 275/135grams (Full/Flex...

According to Summa I've ruined 4 blades and my cutting strip in a matter of 2 months. They say my blade is extended too much and my pressures are too high. Any discoloration of the cutting strip means it need to be replaced. So if you do one Flex Cut run and it scuffs up the strip it's bad...

It doesn't do it when I run barcode server for it or when I use WinPlot. It's only when I have Onyx initiate the cutting process. It's highly unlikely it's the cutter that's causing it. It's something with Onyx.

I did a one time. I had started cutting a job and by the end of the sheet it was barely cutting at all and noticed the blade holder was not sitting deep enough. Don't think I had it tight enough and it pushed the holder up during cutting. I make sure the holder is all the way seated when I...
