Summa if on top of my list since I'm already used to how they work. So I assume the learning curve will be simpler. Could you elaborate on why the summa is better since you have both of them?

Flatbed cutter is on my future list too. But I still wanted a roll cutter. For the flatbed, colex is on top of my list. But kongsburg seems interesting too. But that is for 2-3 years from now.

I use caldera. Workflow with my current summa d160r is perfect. I was told few years ago the camera was not compatible with mac/caldera. I'don't know if it's true.

No camera then. I have white ink capability. So I can print white for the mark if needed to. The take-up seems a good feature tho. I don't have time to stay in front of the cutter to pop the vinyl.

If you don't mind sending me a quick video of your workflow with diecut (I want to see the speed and final result) and a video of the take-up, I would appreciate it. I use the cleancut blades for years now and really like it. If you have absolutely no problems doing diecut, I think I will stick...

I'm looking to change my summa d160r for a new cutter that will mostly be used to make diecut stickers. Since I already have a summa, my instinct was to go with the new s3t with maybe the camera and take-up. The graphtec seems to be a good option too. So what do you recommend and why?

I can't do either. Pads are already a couples years old. So I don't think direct print would hold up. If they were brand new, I would check to sub-contract the direct print.

I've got a request to make vinyl to install on fence pad for a baseball team like the picture below. What material and laminate could work for this? It's just for logos that will be around 18inx18in. Thanks.

I got 3 box in total. I've confirmed with the tech that I've received everything I need. I've got this before the holidays and still waiting for my appointment.

Yes, It's covered by HP even if the printer is out of warranty like in my case. I've received a box of parts about the size of a mini-fridge (I did not open it). I'm waiting for the tech to make the update. Everything is free of charge. Contact your dealer about this.

I think your problem is the advance calibration due to the thickness of the material. Try to copy the profile and make an advance calibration. Maybe it will adjust it.

We use 3m scps-53x when using the 3M dusted or all this series. Work very well to pick-up the film and easily take off when wet. Even on small parts.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a white material not clear like the overlaminate.

You don't have a ''fuzzy'' look with reverse print on 3651? I use optically clear film for that kind of application.

Like the title says, I'm looking for a white PET film with permanent adhesive that is compatible with latex ink (HP 700w). I've been looking for this for quite some time know and the closest one I've found is compatible with UV ink only. All suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
