we do a lot of small run stuff. the 3" lead is awesome! I can load material and it prints 3-4" from the front of the vinyl. It has been a bit glitchy but that's all been flexi. the only other issue has been the white print head. I've had two warrantied but I think it was because I left them...

you have to do a sensor calibration on it by printing a black square on the chrome. one machine I still have the yellow transparent film on that Phil at Airmark sent me to cover the sensor but my other summa doesn't have that and does fine reading the marks.

ok, so I took some advice from Substance and took the plenum out and went to cover it in painters tape to prevent the static. But, my roll of painters tape only had about 14" on it so I grabbed some matte black oracal 651 and wrapped 36" of it (I only use 30" chrome), then ceramic coated it...

Hey guys, my 630w is still driving me nuts with the inconsistency while printing on the substance chrome. I know the backing paper is a bit slick, I did get a profile that was made by the HP guru in spain for 700 users device (at the cost of a roll of vinyl and shipping to spain). but it is...

I’m thinking I’ll take a combo of your suggestions and do the initial cuts on the summa roll cutter then weed and premask and make a template or jig for the graphtec where I can line up some kind of registration for it. Maybe just print one with registration marks and cut out where the...

I do have at my disposal a graphtec flatbed too, it’s just slow for doing a thousand of anything.

It is actually multiple pieces, sorry the sample image didn’t depict that. They do need to be held togetger

Talk to your sales rep and have them put some Printed files in your hands for your eyeballs to see! I just went through this process and needed up going with a HP. Solvent white was underwhelming and the horror stories of maintenance and waste made me appreciate the latex that much more. Not...

I thought all that infor is available in hp print OS… can’t be gathered through the rip as others have stated.

I can get that part figured out but I’m wanting to do it with just cut vinyl.

Workflow kerfuffle! Ok guys, I know I’ve seen it before and think I can do it someway with what I have. I need to make a few thousand cut decals that need to be weeded, then premasked but then perfcut (radiused perfcut like examples to save material and it’s what the customer wants). Anyway...

Well, the original plan the original plan was to build the shop and buy a summa or Zund. The shop build and some unexpected medical expenses dropped that budget like a rock, so this will do for a couple years. I just a lot of the substance G25 over printed vinyl so we are close to 30 mil as...

Yep, that’s the one I got. That seller is honestly an awesome guy (threw in quite a bit of accessories that were not listed). I did my first cuts on it today. Just set the material parallel to the edge of the mat and set the origin manually. The vacuum is a bit louder than I thought but...

Hey guys, just got a used fcx2000-60 for some projects that require some downforce not achievable on my summa cutters. The user manual is pretty limited as are any tutorials of in field use. I’m just wondering if it can detect media size. I’m in flexi and it it looks to all be user input? My...
