Hello. Today I printed some lettering then proceeded to cut them. There are 7 crop marks per side of the graphic/lettering. I used OPOS paneling because of it's accuracy (4 marks). After not finding the 3rd mark for a reason I know, I went to restart the job from the beginning. But now what...

I printed some lettering and placed the print to be cut in the D75. When I hit cut (SignLab 10), the cutter is telling me to place the tool under the Barcode. I never printed a Barcode. I checked SignLab VPM and no Barcode is selected. I've had this cutter a couple yrs now and this is the...

Hi. I have a Summa S2 T160 and a Mimaki JV150-160. I am printing Black outlines and shadows on text on this imitation gold vinyl. Can the Summa be calibrated to know the difference between the vinyl's gold color and the printed Black crop mark? To date I've been printing on material with...
