Hello all, a Summa S120D cutting plotter comes on thursday. I got it used by a Summa dealer in my town for a fairly good price. It will be used to cut stickers printed by my Mimaki print&cut so that I can contour cut while I am printing. I will use my design workstation which is an iMac...

because too pricey compared to an equivalent Graphtec just for similar performance. Also because the software that comes with it is very bad. (I need a FC8000-100 and would have to go to a S class T 120). I'm a Graphtec user for years and am very satisfied with cutting master delivered with...

I never trust rebranded items, they usually do not have the same firmware, just not worth the few money saved. 2nd reason: I'm in France, an european dealer is more appropriate for such tool ;-)

...same a any FC8000, the optical is not optional on this plotter.

hello, I will soon buy a new cutting plotter. I plan buying a FC8000 but I've just seen this pdf on the web: http://www.fellers.com/pdfs/GraphtecFC8000_Plotter_Spec_Sheet_Web.pdf FC8000 MK2? Is this a new FC8000 version? What is new in this model compared to FC8000? As the FC8000...

maybe, I don't know, I only use the profiles delivered for the media I use (mainly oracal 3164 and 3551) in RasterLink.

cheaper than a 3651 for example? Lucky you ! :notworthy::smile:

you print on oracal 651? Is there any reason why? (it's aimed at cut vinyl, not as print vinyl). I sometimes print on 651 when I need to print black on a specific vinyl color but do your regularily do this?

I do quite a lot of small stickers with black background that will be placed on black substrate, I find the 10 10 10 100 not black enough on this dark substrate as it appears "faded". So I use 50 40 40 100 for small stickers for dark substrate, 30 30 20 100 for small stickers for light...

yes I use pretty much the same code for rich black on my cjv30

ok but what is the color code (in Rasterlink, go in the color edit tab, you can see in color replacement a color picker that tells you the color code)?

what's the CMYK code you use for this black color?

I roll in the same way as the blank roll is rolled: print outside

hello, what's the result of your comparison of high tack vinyls. Which do you think is the higher bond?

thanks, I didn't know I could do that on the CJV30, I will try this as I also mostly print vinyl and always found the tension too high.

how do ou lower the motor power?

Could you please explain what this parameter is supposed to do/behave/explain? Is it a flag to say that the ink lines are filled with ink?

could you please explain the procedure if it is so easy...?

which vinyl did you use?

I run a CE5000 on OSX Lion and media width measurement works well. It may have to do with your old CE3000 version.
