  5. 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.

  14. 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...
