  1. D140 tracking terribly

    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...
  2. Summa S2 D140 skips random objects in jobs

  6. 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. Does one plotter really need a separate computer and a licensed software (which costs a lot)? The thing is, we use barcodes and all...

    Hey! I have a summa f1612 and recently moved locations. It was wired for 208 3 phase before but new location doesn’t have 3 phase. From the research I’ve done on here I’m planning on using an ADX15 3 phase converter, is that enough hp? And then also little confused, will I need a transformer...
  8. Summa cutter isn't searching for registration marks

    I'm running off the Illustrator plug-in for GoSign. I've added the registration marks, but cuts them like they are a part of the cut layer. It doesn't even try to search for them.
  9. Summa Cutting Control Resetting - S2T160

    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...

  11. Summa S2T160 crop marks.

    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...

    Oct 2019 HP Latex 315 (54" printer). Total Media printed so far is 10,042 SF / 932 SM. We just installed the first new inks from original setup. (Kept those cartridges because they still had ink and felt they could still be utilized. ) Bought mostly for printing HTV for sports uniforms and...
  13. Summa D140 not lowering Opus

    We have a sudden issue with our D140 not lowering the Opus sensor at the start of a job. When you first send the job and it moves the head to the left it is not going all the way hence the sensor is not being lowered and it subsequently will not find the targets. Any ideas of what the issue...

  15. Question Graphtec vs Summa for sheets of stickers/which has a "better" workflow using only rasterlink?

    I cut a decent amount of sheets out on my ucjv300-160, blades still last me a decent amount of time as I only cut 1-2000 sheets per month, and some die-cut stickers. so most of my cutting is still just contour/kiss. The Summa initially sounds like the better option to me, mostly because so many...
