  1. The Vaccine - you going to take it or no?

    No, I never get a flu shot and don't see a benefit to receiving this one. This is only mildly worse than the flu at 99.97% survival rate, according to the cdc. Of those who have died from COVID, the majority are 70+ years and older. I am nowhere near that age. I'll be saving it for those who...
  2. Flatbed Cutter / Plotter Recommendations

    We have been looking at getting a flatbed cutter / plotter for a long time. Needed for cutting magnetic materials. We currently out source. the quality we receive is just poor, and has too many problems to rely on (stouse). When we order from other companys, the quality is below our standard or...
  3. Summa vs Graphtec vs Roland

    I have a summa s2 tangential and a graphtec fc7000. Summas are absolutely nicer, faster, incredibly accurate, and have many more features, capabilities and setting. However, more complex and accompanying problems. the software it comes with sucks so plan on using another software. We do lots of...
  4. Suggestions Is the summa tangential plotter a better plotter? Easier weeding and workflow?

    My own experience is that SUMMA S2 TANGENTIAL machines have the capability but incredibly lacking in software implementation and support when it comes to contour cutting. Using it STRICTLY for cut vinyl jobs it's great. We have had glitches after glitches with it, such as the software not being...
  5. FC7000 75

    Sensors are clean? I remember there being in service mode a way to check sensors and/or buttons. To get in service mode hold down TEST+ENTER and turn it on. If not, my next guess would be to unplug the sensors, try it again, see what happens. I have a new summa that the pinch roller sensor...
  6. Summa S2 75T Pinch roller sensors not working

    I have put it into service mode and sensors check out fine. Pinch roller sensor (CAM) isn't working. After finally speaking to tech support, pinch roller sensor needs replacing. I'm waiting on Grimco to service the unit which the tech couldn't give me an answer as to how soon that may happen...
  7. Summa S2 75T Pinch roller sensors not working

    I have tried that. No go. After finally speaking with tech support they said the machine needs to complete setup or it won't connect. Got it to work so long as media is loaded when it's turned on.
  8. Summa D160R accuracy problem

    I had similar issues with a Graphtec FC7000-MK2. I found that if the crop marks were not properly straight to the machine, this issue would show up to a lesser or greater degree to the crop marks being skewed. I know it corrects for this, but I found if it was more than X amount off this would...
  9. FC7000 75

    Have you tested the media sensors on the front or back? Have you also tried, just for troubleshooting, setting it to FRONT to see what happens?
  10. Summa S2 75T Pinch roller sensors not working

    Thank you FrankW! I really appreciate it! I found the file and downloaded it. However, I am getting an error while using cutter control. I get this error 90% of the time (it's been an issue since day 1) "Access Violation at address 005321A8 in module "CutterControl.exe". Read of address...
  11. Summa S2 75T Pinch roller sensors not working

    Hey guys, I just purchased a brand new Summa S2 75T about 2 months ago. Ever since Friday it no longer reads the pinch roller positions and is not usable. I have 2+ rolls of laminated material with summas registration marks needing to be cut and another 8 rolls to cut. I'm loosing my patience...
  12. Best media for wall graphics

    I use the 2611 from Avery. While it is removable and I have tested this, the adhesive stronger than you would think. I have had a few issues with curling when cutting right to the edge but I think it may not have dried long enough because it's only here and there it happens. There are a few...
  13. 70 inches of daylight balanced LED's installed on printer for under $17

    Curious how did the dimmer switch go? I added the strip to mine and is awesome! I can't imagine never having this. Have yet to mount a switch though.
  14. FC7000 suddenly acting up - not cutting to depth

    Juat to add to the conversation. I had a similar problem and after replacing the cutting strip the problem was still there. Learned that after citing so much material little bits and pieces got into the pen which caused the blade to get sick when rotating. Cleaning out the blade holder and...
  15. Vinyl Cutter/Plotter

    I have an fc7000. You'll be surprised how small you can go with normal settings. If you do have trouble weeding, which with enough experience you'll know when you need to change setting and use a 60 degree blade, ive had little issue getting my machine to do the Job. I first thought that i...
