summa

Guys, I made a post not long ago about the Summa at our shop tweaking out and shooting out the roll of vinyl either forward or backwards. We fixed that issue when it comes to just plotting vinyl but now i'm having issues contour-cutting. I have to plot (250) decals for a local dealership so...

Hey guys, I have had this summa plotter probably for less than a year. It has recently started acting up. Whenever i put in a new roll, it goes through all of its starting motions but then it either tries to unwind the whole roll or it shoots it out the back. The rolls just keep on going until...

We have the knife pressure set at 140 but when we are cutting a printed job out of Onyx Postershop Cut-Server the pressure changes to 120. This does not happen when we are cutting out of Composer on regular vinyl. It seems to only happen when cutting from Onyx. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all, Got questions regarding flexi flex cut and summa. Been using the contour cut for a while but never really used the flexcut. So this is my first try. Setup the file in illustrator, created 2 spot colours, named CutContour and PerfCutContour. Also separate the curves into 2 layers. Flexi...

Hi all, I'm having a little problem. My summa S160D is a little bit off, it's always cutting just slightly above the print/design, most of the time. It's not like terribly off, only about 0.5mm. However, I'm doing 2 cm in diameter label so 0.5 mm is quite noticeable especially circle with...

Hey guys, this is my first post but I’ve gained a lot of knowledge on the forum from you guys. One of the things I’ve learned is the combo of a Summa S2 with HP Latex. I’ve been used to a Graphtec FC5100 for the past few years and it has never let me down. The S2 is a different story. I am...

I'm looking for a some suggestions on a cutter. I have digital press and I usually buy pre-die cut sheets of labels (i.e., 2.5" circle - 12 per sheet, 1x3" oval labels - 15 per sheet, 3x4" labels - 6 per sheet, etc.). I normally have to buy packages of 100 or more 8.5x11 sheets of labels. I...

I am trying to cut a file printed on an Edge with a Summa D120R plotter. My software is Flexi v11. I'm trying this because it looks like I can print a 11.6" job and still contour cut it, if I use one of the non-OPOS alignment methods. In the Rip & Print window I choose the 4 Point...

Hello everyone its been a long time since I was here, but Im really in deep trouble, We recently had to change our printer so we went for hp latex 330 very nice, yesterday we printed a bunch of work and decided to cut it next day but today alln the cut files dissapeared the print files are there...

Hi! Since a short time im using a S Class 2T. I have tried several settings, to use FlexCut. But mostly it is more work to divide the sticker from the gutter than using "normal" cut and cut the stickers afterwards with the knife. In some youtube-videos it seems, that the users have only...

Hi all, I just got a second hand summa driver S class and downloaded the usb driver from summa's site. I successfully installed the driver onto win 7. However, windows 7 said it's not digitally signed and didn't allow the driver to run. This issue made the plotter not detected and can't be...

Hey there, I've started a new job where we have a SummaCut d120 at our disposal which I think we could be using for more things. Every now and then we print around 60-80 posters on a roll of paper substrate/material, two side by side for quite a length, then these are manually cut these out...

Just picked up a new Summa S2 T160 with OPOS-CAM. Upgraded from an old vinyl express Q160. Does anyone here use a Summa for custom die cut stickers? I've previously used a Graphtec FC8600 that had dual positioning for perf cuts. I don't see anything like this on the Summa. The manual...

Hoping Frank W or someone with experience can help get us noobs started. Been using a new HP Latex 115 P&C that BigfishDM set us up with for a few weeks now. The printer is great, but we haven't been able to move beyond direct cut with the cutter (e.g. into barcodes). We're printing legit...

Our company just added a new plotter, a Summa S2 T140. Beautiful machine. However, I was running a Graphtech before with Cutting Master 4. CM4 had an option for a weed border and weed lines where available. However, the software that comes with the Summa, Winplot, doesn't seem to have that...

Aloha, My company is a sticker company. We are using the DC 5SX. I'm looking for a alternative type of vinyl to use for stickers. I like the print quality of the 3M premium cast vinyl, But it is too thin and difficult for the general consumer to apply. I switched to the intermediate vinyl for...

Hi We've just grab a SUMMA DC4 from a garage to give it life again and great print jobs, but it seems to be quit difficult when it comes to get technical support for replacing parts. We are located in France and summa national dealer told us that it's impossible to find any technic book or any...

Hey guys, I'm new here, I'm just starting out in the business and I'm trying to go independent. I'll be focusing, at least in the beginning, in high quality stickers, as a reference I look up to Sticker Mule's work. I'm decided for Latex, I'll be going for a HP 365 or 335 or 115 depending on...

Hey guys, we are looking to jump into a new cutter. Accuracy is obviously key, we make lots of contour cut stickers with tiny details cutout. I am looking into the big ones such as graphtec, summa, etc. There are a lot of cheaper options such as a titan from us cutter. I am really liking the...
