  1. What do you use to create ICC color profiles?

    Here is a question for those with more experience. I have created profiles successfully using i1Profiler. However in that software is the option to calibrate printers with CMYK+1,2,3,4 additional ink channels. It asks for the LAB color of that channel. Where can that be obtained accurately? Or...
  2. Summa S3 Vacuum

    We changed the insert on the tip on the blade holder to black. that has helped. We recently purchased an S3 Tc160 and noticed this problem and it's very consistent. We are having to reprint and throw away alot of material. Never had this issue with the S2 or Graphtec's. It's weird.
  3. Wanted Back Slitting Machine

    We are looking for a back slitting machine for peel and stick stickers. If you have one reach out please.
  4. Summa S3 160T - contour cuts w/ white ink way off

    we don't use the XY line anymore but the software we use always creates them, and so we have to manually change each send job to not ready those. nearly all of our problems went away after changing that.
  5. Summa S3 160T - contour cuts w/ white ink way off

    We had this same issue. A few things to look into. 1. Page spacing when using opas xy. The front edge would catch and bend slightly when reading the black line giving bad readings. Either increase or decrease page spacing until it no longer catches or dont us opas xy when sending a cut job...
  6. Question Everything I've learned about perf cut/die cut stickers

    Thats an interesting take. I have never tried cutting twice to do die cut before. Usually cut with our graphtec in perf mode or our summa in flex mode. Both offer benefits that are different from each other. Honestly prefer the graphtec bit it lacks good results with detailed die cuts. Summa...
  7. Flexi feed media back after cut

    I have the same issue. Lots of media waste after each job.
  8. Bad print quality with solid colors.

    Good idea! I'll try that. Flexi includes and oracal profile.
  9. Bad print quality with solid colors.

    I have an i1pro 2 and have created profiles before, they are time consuming.... I was hoping to be able to print from the get go. I really can't believe how horrible the quality is on this. I'd never allow these print out of our shop lol. An older Sp-300 series printed better than this with a...
  10. Bad print quality with solid colors.

    We are changing from Versaworks to Flexi. Been watching lots of videos and reading docs. However no matter what we do the print quality that comes out on our Roland VG2 is crappy, very grainy. Printing vector art. The colors are not printing solid like in versaworks. Is there something I am...
  11. For Sale For Parts - Summa S2 75T plotter

    Summa S2 75t for parts or repair. Giving a pinch roller sensor error, other than that it works fine. We had this issue once before, support replaced the mainboard to fix it. I already tried a new pinch roller sensor with no success. Make an offer. or if you have a mainboard you want to sell...
  12. For Sale Roland LEF2-300 for sale

    I have a barely used Roland UV Flad bed printer, the LEF2-300. This prints UV inks which are super durable and increadibly vibrant and detailed. This rivals our eco-solvent prints in my opinion. This has really great print quality at standard settings. We just don't use it enough. Would like to...
  13. Summa S2T160 cuts in Flex mode with setting to Flex mode not selected

    Our s2 would sometimes decide to enable flex cut without selecting it and visa versa. Restart the machine verify flexcut is off in the profile on the machine, or if the profile on the machine changed. Restart the program and Create new cut jobs without the flexcut option and see if that fixes...
  14. New S3 Question

    I have wondered if the extra summa s2 pinch rollers are compatible. They look exactly the same, only the color difference. I have a broken down s2 machine just sitting with extra pinch rollers, i have considered swapping them into the s3
  15. Newbie with Basics 101 Questions

    Which plugin? GoSign or Macsign? Our macsign plugin has the option for back barcodes, you can see in the photo. Unfortunately that feature in MacSign is useless. It never worked for us. Well we were able to us the S3 successfully with MacSign using the above technique. It uses the same job cue...
