summa

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...

We just got our Summa S2 T140 installed. Everything is set up and ready to go but I have a question about setting up the FlexCut. Let's say I have a single decal with a simple contour cut and a square FlexCut around it and I want to print 100 on a sheet. If I nest them together, edge to edge...

Hey All, Have a Summa S2T that I absolutely love, except for when the time comes to change the blade in it. I have marks on the holder and rod to line them back up and use same number of rotations in and out to try and get it back to where it was...and for the most part this works fine. The...

We are looking at a new 54" plotter for our in-house print shop at an Art Museum. From my research, we already narrowed down to a Summa machine. No better reviews out there! Now I'm not sure if a Summacut D140 is enough or if we should fight for the budget for a S2 T140. The main application...

Hello everyone, I bought and old Summacut D620, I know this machines , they are really work-horse, that´s why I purchased it. But I have this communication problem, when I try to connect it with summa cutter control (latest version) appears this: "could not detect baurate" My RS-232 cable...

Hello, Good People, I am having trouble with FlexiSign 12. I just converted from 18 years of using a Macintosh platform to using Windows (now using Windows 7). Ever since we bought the new computers we've been having trouble with cutting. Sometimes it cuts just fine, and then all of a sudden we...

Hi all, Tried for a while to set up my Summa D750 with WinPlot and CorelDraw X6. Everithing went fine until I tried to export the vector from Corel into WinPlot for cutting. I use a serial cable with a USB adapter for my laptop which has no serial port. When trying to send to cut I get the...

Wondering if anyone has been able to bring a Summa DC4 printhead back to life after a "blown pixel" diagnosis. I have a DC4sx we just brought in from our warehouse that hasn't been operating for several years I'd like to get back in our shop workflow. Done all the particulars to clean...

Hi. We have a Summa plotter S140 T series that has some issues with the vinyl tracking on fullwidth vinyl media. The plotter has 4 tracking wheels where the 2 innermost are optional to use. When I load a roll with vinyl 1260mm width, and want to plot a file from Flexi I always click "show me" to...

We have been long time, since 1996, Summa users. On our second cutter and have a DC4sx in house as well. For anyone who has owned one, you know what I mean when nothing else will do. The unfortunate thing for us it that we never had a tech/rep in house to show us all of the neat little tricks...

Have found a couple great places for router bits that do not cost $200/bit like the summa ones do but I haven't found anywhere to buy the replacement blades like the heavy duty knife etc... Any suggestions? We have a Summa F1612 Thank you! AL

I am contemplating buying a Summa cutter. The tangential cutters are a considerable cost, but they seem to be worth the price as it claims to be a better machine a better cut and better tracking and repeatability? The reason I am doing this is because my current plotter is on the out and I...

Hi everyone, I was hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction for what type of bond paper (used for pen plots) you can use on a Summa Class 2 Series T. The paper we have at the moment keeps breaking off on all the rollers and slips throughout the machine. When I...

Summa D 140 vinyl cutter 54" Barely used, we never got the work we bought it for. approx 4 years old located just north of Boston, MA $3300

I was cutting some vinyl a Summa S2 T Series 140 when I thought that the vinyl was shifting, so I hit pause and looked. It never actually moved. But now I need to know how to get it to continue cutting from where it last stopped. I have two options to use, reset or an arrow that goes up and...

Summa DC4 for sale. We acquired it from another company sale and have no use for it. We were told it has very low usage. This is for the printer only. We were told there maybe some cartridges included but not %100 sure. There is no software but it can be ran from Flexi without issue. If you are...
