Discussion Question Summa F-Series Cutting Through Carrier Tape

I did this a few years ago when we used to do a lot more vinyl graphics.

Just need to use a pretty good app tape so it doesn't lift when cutting.

What did you use for registration?

 

For the kiss cut just a manual origin. But in your cut file leave round reg dots of vinyl to register for after you app tape.

You can see the circles to the bottom of the sheet.

 

The Summa F would hand that fine. Just be a matter of setting up your file for the 2 different cuts, then remembering not to remove the crop marks when weeding out the graphics.

 

Good morning,

This is actually a very easy application for the F-Series and you can setup a camera profile to read the registration marks through the masking. You could even use the same 2mm black square registration marks that you use on your roll-fed Summa cutters as well. If you have one of the OPOS Cam machines there is a "twin workflow" option where you can use the same output program, GoProduce, to the send the cut files to both the roll-fed and flatbed cutter.

We have installed many of these tables and have several customers currently cutting masked decals like what you are describing, so please feel free to contact me if you would like to pick my brain on this process.
