  1. Summa feeding too fast

    We are having an issue with 48" vinyl on our Summa. When it feeds the media it moves too fast and kinks it. We can control cutting speed, but don't know how to reduce feed speed. This issue is increased because the plotter sometimes jumps around from one element to another on the sheet, rather...

    I can't get WinPlot to show as a toolbar in Corel 2024. It was OK in Corel 2019. Tried exporting PDF and AI but had missing lines with both. I've heard GoSign might work, but have been told my Summa S2-160 is too old to accept the firmware update needed. Suggestions?

    We have a Summa D140. It was tracking kind of roughly but then one of our middle pinch rollers broke. We ordered 4 new rollers and have installed them. Since then the machine does not track properly at all. Keeping jobs small in size is doable but we have a large print shop and many of our...

  17. Summa GOsign (several plotters)

    Is it possible to work on several plotters through Summa GOsign? Recently, we bought two Summa S one, but as I understand it, you can only work on one at a time.

    Calling all Summa users. Anyone know why the Alignment Mode keeps resetting while we're cutting in Cutter Control? We set it to Force Opos XY and when we're roll cutting we usually find it switching to Opos XY mid roll and it throws the alignment off by a millimeter. I get that they should...
