  1. Overcut in Summa Cutter Control

    Cool! I-cut is a great invention :notworthy: Summa Cutter Control says "0,45 mm" This is my third workplace with this exact setup, and i never had this problem. That's why i never thought of checking it before. (And cutting works like it should with Summa Winplot) My support guy has promised...
  2. Overcut in Summa Cutter Control

    Yes. I think it is what Zund calls it, and the expression got stuck in my head.
  3. Need manual tiling method in Illustrator for huge window perfs (ROLAND)

    This is what i always do, even if its just two parts. The control freak in me just doesn't trust automation.
  4. Overcut in Summa Cutter Control

    So i just got this strange effect: When i cut on my Summa S2 T 140 through Summa Winplot everything is just perfect. But when i use Summa Cutter Control for i-cutting it "overcuts"? (not sure what to call it) These letters are 7 mm high (0.27 inches) I have no clue as to where to start looking...
  5. Oil for Carriage Rod?

    We bought it used and didn't get anything like that. I talked to the company that sold it to us, and they will send a service pack. :)
  6. Oil for Carriage Rod?

    Edited to delete because i was misinformed by the supplier
  7. concerned about solid black banners needing to gas out before mounting in banner stand Epson s80600L

    I use PGM Rolltex 370 with the profile "HP high qualty satin canvas" on my HP 310. sometimes i get a little wrinkling, but it goes away in a day.
  8. Print and Class 2 Reflective Material

    Someone once told me they took a piece the glass of yellow sunglasses and taped over the light/lens of the cutter when they had the same problem. If thats a load of bovine droppings or if it really works... I don't know
  9. Ghost Reflective - Dark Gray Truck

    I use Oracle 5600 fleet grade white reflective, and yes, gloss laminate.
  10. Ghost Reflective - Dark Gray Truck

    I used my regular vinyl profile in the pictures i posted. It reflects plenty, albeit with less color.
  11. Ghost Reflective - Dark Gray Truck

    I use a HP 310 Latex and it prints very well on reflective. And I have had the same result on an Epson 40600. In the picture the blue text and arrows are cut in Orafol blue reflective, and the IAL logo is printed on Orafol White.
  12. Decal needs to be 50' long

    It looks as there are some places where the vinyl can be tiled naturally, so I dont see the point of one long piece.
  13. help please: Printable frosted vinyl

    Another vote for 8510. I tried a lot of etched vinyls and its by far the best/easiest to install. I use my ordinary vinyl profile on my HP310.
  14. Tipping Question

    I never gotten tips in money. But it happens pretty often that if i install something in a bakery i get bread, candy from a candy store and so on. Maybe they just see me as a an easy way of getting rid of old stuff :D
  15. Rant Customer Rant

    I had the exact same thing for almost twenty years in a big company. Then my son in law, who lives in a small town and had referred jobs to me for years, bought equipment and hired me asa a one man graphics shop. Now "need" always outweigh "want" and my love for my occupation has bloomed again.
  16. What grommet press does everyone use now?

    I have one that is a little bigger, but the same principle as yours. But i only print about 150 meters of banner per year. My last workplace had an pretty cheap italian pneumatic press and it was much easier. When it worked... Grommets got stuck in the feeding system, the lower part sometimes...

    Orafol has both cast and calendered. 8800 and 8500 series
  18. I just saw this in an ad

    I used to live 20 minutes from IKEA's swedish flagship store. 5 skr (roughly 48 cents) for a hot dog. The same for a cinnamon roll. Coffe for 86 cents. The restaurant will never get a star in the Michelin guide, but it is pretty good.
  19. Rise of the Machines - AI Vector Tracing is coming for our Bitmaps!

    You are old! I worked with that puck/setup in the late 80's and early 90's, and i know for a fact that i'm old as dirt...
  20. Kiss Cut on a Zund/Summa/Kongsberg

    I worked with both S3 and G3 machines daily for around 10 years. I think they are superb at just about anything... Except kiss-cutting! It works, but as you say: its not very good. I cut as much as possible in our Summa and only used the Zünds in emergencies. Our KCT was springloaded, so the...
