  1. HP Latex printing on Chrome???

    Hey guys, just wondering if there is a printable chrome that will work with the HP. I've seen various sites saying maybe Griff Decorative series but the roll I have was a no go with the heat needed to cure the ink.
  2. Driver that works with HP branded summa cutter from print and cut combo

    Hey guys, I currently don't need my HP cutter as I have 3 others now that work flow much better. My question is, is there a driver that will work with the HP other than having to run it through flexi? Summa Winplot doesn't recognize it but I can see it in Summa Cutter control but I can't...

  4. flexi production and summa registration marks not lining up (grimco holographic)

    hey guys, is there a way to manually set the marks on a Summa S2 T series with flexi? It's a weird situation where it will read the marks and do the cuts directly after print but if it cools off, it wont. I have enough bleed that I was hoping to manually set the registration marks but I don't...
  5. Flexi issue with plotter offset

    Hey guys, This is driving me nuts. I have my artwork done and put a cut box around it with a .02 radius on the corners. Everything looks perfect and checks out but when I open in in production manager and then send it to the plotter (hp branded summa, then again to my big summa T series) the...

  7. Preventing Ghosting for leased vehicles

    Hey guys, I have a pretty high end leased vehicle I’m working on for just some cut graphics or possible partial wrap. The concern is ghosting when the graphics are removed at lease end. Will ceramic coating help keep the oven from fading the exposed paint so it won’t be as bad?
  8. Anti glare window treatment (doesnt want to see reflections)

  9. T series cutoff only queation

    Hey guys, I’m wondering the easiest way to set up a file so that the summa will just advance the material 35” then cut it off... and repeat that process for an entire roll of material. I know I’ve done it before but can’t for the life of me remember how. I have a lot of 12” material getting...
  10. Suggestions Rotary die press or flatbed plotter for next purchase???

    Hey yall, I need to figure out another way to increase my production and replace my Summa 30" cutter. I have 20 designs that cut out, I don't print, I don't laminate, just punch out the same sets of shapes over and over and over. I'm trying to decide between a small rotary die press (Sohn mini...
  11. Need Help Rewinding material on another roll

    Hey Guys...I'm cutting a lot of weird material (that's my thing) but this has a silicone coating on the face. I don't have a machine with a take up rollers and this stuff won't slide against itself. I can't rewind it without it looking like a kid who unrolled the TP roll and tried to reroll...

  13. Big rolls of material cutting, 7.5" in diameter Summa S2-T75

    Hey guys, Just wondering some suggestions for running large rolls of material on my new Summa. It is basically a two sided adhesive where we are cutting through one backer and leaving the other. The manufacturer sent in these massive rolls but dang...they are huge. I really don't want to put...

    Hey everyone, So, 95% of my current vinyl business is cut graphics but I am expanding and new to the print world.

  15. Is this a blade offset issue?

    It's been so long since I've cut anything I just can't remember! I'm on the install side now but this is a favor to me for a little project but the corners are jacked and the circles don't quite match up causing difficult weeding... it is all 1/8" objects so it's a lot smaller than what the...
  16. Highest tack reflective

    Hey everyone, ive got a little side project between all the wraps and fleet stuff. I'm cutting very small dots (1/8") in reflective materials but I'm having a hard time getting them to stick to the metal I'm working on. I've got oracle that I cut but was wondering what brands give a higher...

  20. Had my apprentice helping last night

    Some may remember me from about 6 years as I was preparing to adopt two little guys from Ukraine, both with Down syndrome. Well, last night my 6 year old, Josiah, saw me wrapping my computer so he went and got his and wrapped it too! He's a smart one, already reading at a 3rd grade level and...
