  3. Best plotter for contour cutting laminated graphics ?

    Thanks guys, great info. We are leaning toward a Summa 30 " D series. I understand the T series has some additional features but at $6k it's a bit out of our price bracket.
  4. Best plotter for contour cutting laminated graphics ?

    Thanks everyone ! I tried contacting Graphtec, left messages , sent e-mails etc and haven't heard anything in over a week. E-mailed Summa and within an hour a had a 'phone call from someone, talked me through the available options even mentioned that he would get a sample of the materials we...
  5. Best plotter for contour cutting laminated graphics ?

    I've had a dig through some old threads and got some good info but wanted to get some fresh feedback. We need a plotter we can cut graphics with after we've printed ( on a Roland ) and laminated. The vast majority are for offroad motorcycles so pretty thick - 21mils. A flatbed is out of our...

  9. VP540 cut carriage set up .

    I did ( in both instances ) , to be honest the cost to get them out was too high for us hence changing the parts ourselves.
  10. VP540 cut carriage set up .

    Hi guys ,I posted this in the thread about tech training but thought I'd start another thread also. Because of the cost of getting a tech out I decided to change out my cut carriage cable & board myself, all went very smoothly however the machine cannot now find the cut registration marks. It...
  11. Becoming a Roland Tech...

Because of that I decided to change out my cut carriage cable & board myself, all went very smoothly however the machine cannot now find the cut registration...
