So canon released a 4 head model of the 1650. I believe they’re making it a more entry level model to try compete with HP. As far as im aware, the print speeds are about 50% of the 1650, it has slightly smaller ink tanks (guessing the price per ml is a touch higher) and any/all things you’d...

So, just starting out my summa is a PITA every day of the week but I really hate it today. From onyx 21 I printed to my Colorado. I sent one sheet of graphics and on the layout options I asked for 5 copies. 5 completely identical sheets with matching barcodes. When I went to cut them, sheet #3...

So recently we’ve been getting a lot of PDF’s with mostly covid related stuff that has security. Mostly allowing printing but no manipulation at all and 9 times out of ten they don’t have bleeds or need something altered. The current fix is open on the Mac using preview, print, choose size...

Always good to get back from holiday.. to this. And all in two days!

So we’ve had a Colorado 1640 for about 2 years and are looking to add the 1650 alongside it. For the most part, most jobs have been run on the high quality setting as it still uses the auto nozzle optimisation and the AAC marks. Needs very little user intervention and I can just wander off and...

So about a year ago we switched from using polymeric and monomeric vinyls and laminates to full polymeric (basically we stopped using the really cheap stuff). I’m pretty sure I got the idea from a member here. when doing this, we also switched to only Matt vinyls. We used to have Matt and gloss...

So after all the weirdness on the jig post, he’s now taken it upon himself to create a new profile then dislike a bunch of my comments via that instead. time to get the mods involved? Pretty easy to tell it’s him because my name isn’t Tom..

So we’ve had our i1 for about 8 years. Still does what it needs to but just wondering if/when you know these things need an upgrade? What new features do the updated models have? Can any automate the process(s)? Budget shouldn’t really be an issue so happy to take any recommendations. Ideally...

We’re getting more and more image conscious clients asking about PVC free/eco friendly banner materials, vinyls and such. Just wondering if anyone’s had any success with pushing these products or if it’s ultimately going to end up a waste of time? fully aware that even on the PVC free vinyls...

As per name, anyone got a manual etc for fitting additional pinch rollers on the summa S class? Looks relatively straightforward but I’d like to make sure it’s done right! Our techs are currently refusing to come out and do “unnecessary” jobs but won’t release any info on how to fit them...

So after about 6 months of issues on our summa most of them appear to be fixed. There’s still one persistent error that fills me with rage.. engineer has seen it before but says the guy that fixed it has left the company and he can’t ask him - I am not keen on waiting for the engineer (as this...

So we’ve had an ongoing issue for a while now with our S2 T160. For clarity we’ve had the summa in 3 different pc’s via USB and Ethernet. Also had it not connected to any PC and it still plays up. We’re using onyx 19 (With SCC) and winplot to send cut files. All softwares and firmwares are on...

So up until about a year ago we used to always get in 54” rolls of vinyl and 54” of laminate. No matter how straight I loaded the laminate there would always be a little sticky bit on one side. This wasn’t a problem until we got the summa/flexa and started loading full rolls of stuff to be cut...

So we got a quote after speaking to our rep about extra pinch rollers for the summa (S2 T160). the quote says “pinch roller assy D60 and D620” and “pinch roller set of 2 and 2 clips” can someone just confirm they’re quoting us for the right thing? Do the S class use the same pinch rollers as...

So we have an S2 T160, had a call in for it for about a month but no tech as of yet (thank you coronavirus). Coincidentally, this is the busiest the summa has ever been (thank you coronavirus) basically, it freezes a LOT. (That’s why we put the initial call in but it has since gotten a lot...

Our Summa S2 T160 has had a few problems as of late, as we’ve been running a LOT of floor vinyl recently, I’ve found that sometimes (even calibrated) it has a bit trouble with keeping the media flat enough to read the barcode properly and then fails. The media is 54”, I have 4 pinch rollers...

Don’t know about you guys but I think this is the busiest we’ve been. Only down side is everybody wants all their stuff yesterday, as per usual! We went from printing about 600sqm in the whole of February to printing 600sqm (6500sqft) a day currently. All I can say is our Colorado doesn’t know...

So I’m from the UK and luckily we have a good few different suppliers set up but it’s getting harder and harder to get the media in to do all our jobs. Don’t get me started on floor graphic material, though just now we need a pretty endless supply. Getting all our customers back up and ready to...

Just wondering what the majority of people use for their printing? We use PDF’s. I’ve always found they're very consistent and more widely accepted. Plus handy for sending to customers if I really need to as they pretty much cover all the bases, they give file dimensions and support vector and...

So, we do loads of jobs that tend to have unique numbering. This particular job is a run of 400 labels that are essentially two parts, the bottom part is the same throughout all the labels, the top part is a unique strap of text comprising of numbers and letters. I do the setup part in indesign...
