Here's a little bit insight on how we do it at FireSprint. We're probably doing more wrong than right, but whatever it is, it works for us!

Thanks for watching!

Great video!

Im curious on how you do kisscut stickers and sheet stickers as i find when you start introducing more steps you can make the workflow quite complex.

E.g,
Kisscut stickers - We'll kisscut on the summa and thru-cut on the flatbed cutter.
Sheet stickers - kiss cut on the summa and sheet them using the fotoba.

I have thought about using both summa + Graphtec, but i haven't worked out how to achieve that yet.

Any reason you don't just do the kiss cut and thru cut on the flatbed? Even if it takes a bit longer I like to just cut them on one machine

It takes far to long to do it on the flatbed.

Heres an example:
We do a lot of A3, A2 sized sheet stickers.
for a full 30m roll of various sizes, it would take about 8 hours on the flatbed cutter.

With using summa, we can get 1x 30m roll down to 2 hours of kiss cutting and about 1 hour on the flatbed.

I actually have 2 Summas S3 TC160's which means i can get 2x 30m rolls cut in 2 hours, and 2 hours on the flatbed.
Which means we've increased our throughput by 8x
