My company prints batches on 17 ounce vinyl material about 3-8 times a year. We have to outsource our cutting since we do not have the capability at this time, usually the company that cuts for us sets the file up for their Summa cutter. To save time for us and for the outside company, I want to...

Hey everyone! I have recently purchased a used Summa F1612 with 2x tangential modules and a 1.4kw router. Im looking for advice in cutting signs with sharp edges for smaller and/or more detailed designs. For bigger designs the router is fine with the 2-3mm bits but I often have to cut smaller...

Hi! We use FLEXI as our signmaker software. And we like to use it. I am learning new things every day :) Now I need some help with a lot of names from an Excel sheet. We have a client who want 1 name pr. t-shirt. And there is 100 of them. Time 2... Is there an easy way to import the names...

Hi folks, I'm new here and looking for some advice. I've been using the Mimaki/Summa combo for several years with Flexi as my rip software. I recently started working out of a different shop that uses Rasterlink 6 and I'm trying to figure out how to contour cut a print/cut on the Summa using...

Our f1612 will not advance media. Normally, while cutting 4x8' sheets, it goes like this: summa cuts a bit, vacuum powers down, carriage moves to rear, carriage grabs sheet/belt and moves to front pulling sheet and belt with it. Instead, summa is doing this: summa cuts a bit, carriage moves to...

So I upgraded the firmware on my S2 T140. Easy process, I've done it before with no problems. Latest firmware is version 026 from 04-19-2022. After I upgraded I found out that on the newest firmware they removed the "FlexCut Mode" button in the FlexCut menu, this also removes the options for...

Spent all day today trying to get the Summa S2 to print-and-cut on holographic vinyl. I've tried everything, OPOS media calibration, with and without the yellow OPOS-filter. Looking at the OPOS monitor, every time it's over the holographic media the sensor jumps around from 200 to 1500 when you...

Hi Everyone, This is my first post. I've been lurking around for years waiting to get my hands on a used Summa Tangential cutter. I have finally acquired one and found this video: Summa S Class T Series Dual Head - Cut and Label - YouTube Is this labeling head an add-on I can buy? I can't...

Hi Everyone ! Could somebody recomend me where to buy spare parts for my Summa Summacut D140SE ?? I need the pinch rollers and the cutting strip. Thank you !!

Good afternoon group. Sorry to say but I'm on the way to shutting down my business. As I have certain machinery, I would like if you could help me establish an amount in $ for the sale. The machines are: Roland Printer Model RE-640, (64 ") with new head less than 1 year, Includes Roland Versa...

Our F1612 is about 6 months old and we've been having issues with the machine giving us an error of "device read failure" in the middle of cutting some jobs (but not all) what happens is the machine finishes cutting its segment, advances the media then just freezes and does not continue on to...

Good afternoon, I hope everyone is having a great week and staying safe, healthy, and productive! We are running a few specials on the Summa flatbeds through the end of the year and I wanted to let members on this site know about the offers in case anyone was looking to add a flatbed to their...

Need some serious help. under the gun and I can not figure out what the problem is with our D140. Cutting a job that is segmented into 10 18" sections. Reading the XY not using the OPUS barcode. It will go through the first few segments, then not read the registration marks. Will unroll and...

Hi there! I have an issue with my Onyx RIP software and my Summa S160 D series plotter in that when I use Flex Cut and set my settings to a variety of numbers (currently Full Pressure: 350 Cut Length: 154 Flex Pressure: 350 Flex Length: 39) it cuts circles first with half circles and then ticks...

Hello! I have been having immense difficulty with the tracking on my Summa S160 D series plotter constantly cutting my contour cuts lines slightly to the left about 1/16 of an inch which is a big issue for what I am cutting. When I try to do a media alignment the camera goes way to far to the...

I am having two issues. First I would like to say hello to all forum members, moderators, and content creators for allowing us to be part of this. This is my 1st post on here. My first concern is using Flexi with my Summa T120 cutter. When administering my contour cut lines using the contour...

Hi Everyone, Trying to understand the real-world life of upgrading to a professional plotter. Looking at something from USCutter, Graphtec, Roland, Summa, etc. Qs: On an average WEEK, how many cutting hours per DAY are you putting on your machine? How many years have you had the machine so...

Hi. I'm having a lot of trouble, getting the Rtape Rainbow Brite to work on my Summa S2 T140. I have calibrated the media, and getting the opos setting around 30-50 in value, tried just about everything form zero and up to 200. - I'm getting a lot closer to getting it to work, if i laminate...
