We bought this brand new from the Vegas sign show about 5 years or so ago. There's nothing wrong with it other than it's kind of a PITA. Not a big fan of needing to change foils if you have a lot of colors. About the only saving grace is it prints white. We use it only a handful of times each...

Greetings, I haven't been able to find any information on this issue, hoping somebody has some info. I am trying to tile a large plot that is wider than the plotter. What's happening is that the border of the tile isn't cut, so the shape can't be peeled. To explain another way, say you wanted...

Hello everyone! I am thinking of purchasing either a Summa S1 or a S2. All the stuff I will produce is completely die-cut stickers, not kiss-kut etc. In the Summa world, they call it flex cut. But they do not recommend it for complex shapes (die-cutting) only squares etc. Does anyone have any...

I am messing around with goSign and trying to figure out how to cut multiple small jobs at once. We have been using vinylmaster with our other cutter (titan stepper) and we are able to load all the different files, sizes, quantities for a single color job and it will auto nest them to cut as...

Hello, been using signlab for 13 years and never any issues. Recently our summa has been doing some strange things and it has been suggested it is a signlab issue as cc is fine. I do not run the plotters anymore it’s someone new but am told once an object selected, press cut as normal the...

Hello, I need help with SummaFlex Pro. We have Summa F-1612. We had to reinstall windows to version 10. Previously on windows 7 everything worked fine. Now the problem is that when an object in is colored with a some color and in SummaFlex we recolor it to another color (layer), the object is...

I'm selling this cutter for the second time as I thought when Covid hit I would be using it non-stop but orders didn't come in. If you are located in Canada and need a new condition cutter (used approx. 12 times) reach out to me. I don't want to take any chances shipping across the border...

I'm looking for a Summa D140 or D160 plotter in good, working condition. Might consider other brands, but nothing with only the 4 corner registration marks. Need something that's at least 54" and will put reg marks every 10 to 12 inches along both sides of a contour cut file.

Looking to immediately buy a Summa 1612 flatbed cutter (or similar Summa model) gently used. Will arrange our rigging, crating and shipping. Please email me (Dennis) at Designer.Friend214@gmail.com Thanks much!

I'm shopping for a finishing table that will work in a building with only single phase power. The specs on the Colex Sharpcut fill the need.

dc3 comes with user manual, extra film, extra parts and software key usb. This printer has been used in the past but not recently. It still turns on and prints. There is some blemishes on the top of the printer. We will deliver for a small fee anywhere in Washington or anywhere in Portland...

We just purchased a Summa St2140. We are trying to cut the 3-6mil vinyl with 10 mil laminate and eventually 6mil/15mil combo for 21mil thick cut for offroad stuff. We tried multiple test runs and can't seem to cut through both the laminate and the vinyl. We can't seem to get the Summa dialed...

Hello, we are printing on Roland and cutting on a Summa. When cutting nested jobs the order it cuts is so random it causes issues when perf / flex cutting. In general the flex cut feature cuts random. We would prefer it cut in the same order as our Rolands. Is there a setting that forces cuts to...

Hi guys new to vinyl printing/cutting. What is the best way to contour cut a vector object. for example this horse. Im using onyx thrive 19 and a summa T plotter. I can do simpler shapes in illustrator by copy pasting the object on top and giving changing to a prefix spot color for onyx to...

I've owned this machine for over 5 years and am very familiar with it and it has never given me a single problem. I just bought a heat press and decided to start working with Heat Transfer Vinyl. I purchased some 15" pieces of FDC HTV and loaded it into the machine but the display says "LOAD...

Vinyl cutting is not a huge part of our business but when you need it you need it. We have had an offbrand cutter that we paid $200 used for 12 years ago and it got the job done. We don't need a lot of fancy but would like to upgrade. This seems like a good deal for heat apply vinyl...

A friend of mine has blown the dust off his Summa D60/U and asked me to get it working to his laptop. It has been hibernating for many, many, many years. The old tower that used to talk to it is long gone. His laptop is running Vista, the laptop won't be used for anything else so upgrading...
