  1. Software for running Summa cutter

    Does Easy Cut studio allow for barcodes with Summa and Graphtec plotters?
  2. Which Summa.....

    We personally don't like the software options for the summa cutters, referring to Macsign, and GoSign. It's not very intuitive and buggy. Gosign doesn't allow the controls needed for our jobs. Gosign only allows the changing of speed, overcut, flexcut and tool. MacSign is riddled with bugs...
  3. Epson or Roland

    We Have a VG2 that's been running for years without issues. The colors are great. Don't have experience with Epson but their pricing right now is convincing
  4. Need Help Roland dx4 Printhead Flush HELP!

    Great info! This really helped
  5. Cutting the holographic vinyl

    What settings is your FC9000 set at? Mark type, size, thickness etc. Could you include the sensor settings and scan mode?
  6. PLEASE HELP Printing Holographic stickers on MIMAKI UCJV300-160

    Is Grimco's Holographic Film Polyester or Vinyl?
  7. Summa S3

    My main board died on my S2 within the first year and has since always acted sluggish. Summa did repair it for free and got on it. but their electronics seem lacking. Great machines in their own sense. Can't decide between graphtec fc9000 or summa s2 class. Both have their cons.
  8. Need Help plotter woes

    Media sensor maybe. SOmetimes the vinyl in the front or back lifts up for whatever reason and it can pause and then resumes once the media comes down.
  9. T series cutoff only queation

    The new machines have a special feature in the menu to do this. I have a S275 Tangential. You are able to specify the length and how many copies to make. It's right under the sheet cut option. No computer needed
  10. The Vaccine - you going to take it or no?

    No, I never get a flu shot and don't see a benefit to receiving this one. This is only mildly worse than the flu at 99.97% survival rate, according to the cdc. Of those who have died from COVID, the majority are 70+ years and older. I am nowhere near that age. I'll be saving it for those who...
  11. Flatbed Cutter / Plotter Recommendations

    We have been looking at getting a flatbed cutter / plotter for a long time. Needed for cutting magnetic materials. We currently out source. the quality we receive is just poor, and has too many problems to rely on (stouse). When we order from other companys, the quality is below our standard or...
  12. Summa vs Graphtec vs Roland

    I have a summa s2 tangential and a graphtec fc7000. Summas are absolutely nicer, faster, incredibly accurate, and have many more features, capabilities and setting. However, more complex and accompanying problems. the software it comes with sucks so plan on using another software. We do lots of...
  13. Suggestions Is the summa tangential plotter a better plotter? Easier weeding and workflow?

    My own experience is that SUMMA S2 TANGENTIAL machines have the capability but incredibly lacking in software implementation and support when it comes to contour cutting. Using it STRICTLY for cut vinyl jobs it's great. We have had glitches after glitches with it, such as the software not being...
  14. FC7000 75

    Sensors are clean? I remember there being in service mode a way to check sensors and/or buttons. To get in service mode hold down TEST+ENTER and turn it on. If not, my next guess would be to unplug the sensors, try it again, see what happens. I have a new summa that the pinch roller sensor...
  15. Summa S2 75T Pinch roller sensors not working

    I have put it into service mode and sensors check out fine. Pinch roller sensor (CAM) isn't working. After finally speaking to tech support, pinch roller sensor needs replacing. I'm waiting on Grimco to service the unit which the tech couldn't give me an answer as to how soon that may happen...
  16. Summa S2 75T Pinch roller sensors not working

    I have tried that. No go. After finally speaking with tech support they said the machine needs to complete setup or it won't connect. Got it to work so long as media is loaded when it's turned on.
  17. Summa D160R accuracy problem

    I had similar issues with a Graphtec FC7000-MK2. I found that if the crop marks were not properly straight to the machine, this issue would show up to a lesser or greater degree to the crop marks being skewed. I know it corrects for this, but I found if it was more than X amount off this would...
  18. FC7000 75

    Have you tested the media sensors on the front or back? Have you also tried, just for troubleshooting, setting it to FRONT to see what happens?
  19. Summa S2 75T Pinch roller sensors not working

    Thank you FrankW! I really appreciate it! I found the file and downloaded it. However, I am getting an error while using cutter control. I get this error 90% of the time (it's been an issue since day 1) "Access Violation at address 005321A8 in module "CutterControl.exe". Read of address...
  20. Summa S2 75T Pinch roller sensors not working

    Hey guys, I just purchased a brand new Summa S2 75T about 2 months ago. Ever since Friday it no longer reads the pinch roller positions and is not usable. I have 2+ rolls of laminated material with summas registration marks needing to be cut and another 8 rolls to cut. I'm loosing my patience...
