Good morning, You would use MacSign to send the cut files to the Summa, and can use either the Summa cutter tools or GoSign cutter tools plug-in for Illustrator to add the registration marks. RIP and print will be done in Versaworks, so that part of the process won't change. The S2 was...

Which cutter model and cutting software are you using? The lamination likely has nothing to do with the accuracy issue, especially if the sensor is able to detect and scan each mark. It's probably something on the software side of things, or the sensor needs to be properly calibrated. If you can...

Hi Steve, The Summa cutter will definitely offer better cutting accuracy, so if contour cutting is the primary use for the dedicated cutter, the Summa is the much better option. The Graphtec FC machines do have more cutting force than the drag knife Summa models(600 grams on the FC8600 & 400...

If you're looking for more design functionality in the cutting program, GoSign is definitely not the right solution. Like most free cutting programs, it's very basic, and really just designed to import a cut file and send it to the Summa cutter(similar to the previous Summa cutting software...

It's possible that it could just be the pinch roller sensor that needs to be replaced(part number is KIT-2011 for the sensor) and not the mainboard like you dealt with five years ago. When the cutter boots up, the carriage should go all the way to the right(origin) before it moves to detect each...

If you have already replaced the daughter board on the module(PCB) and run the module calibration, it's possible the entire module may need to be replaced. We(Airmark) do have a repair center where you could ship the module for evaluation and possible repair, but our techs are likely to...

Is nesting the most important feature, or is there something else in Vinylmaster that isn't in GoSign that you need? Are you contour cutting with the S3 or just vinyl cutting without registration? Best regards, Phil Johnson Airmark Corporation (800)527-7778, ext. 112 philj@airmark.com

We may just need to open a satellite office up in Canada because we do get a lot of requests, especially on the Summa side, from our friends up north. Seems like the options in Canada are pretty limited for Summa, especially if you need experienced tech support. Always happy to help my fellow...

The outer two rollers need to be on the material and are responsible for tracking, so they cannot be moved to the side. Each pinch roller assembly adds another 2.25" to the minimum width as a result, so it's only recommended to add additional rollers if the media is not staying flat with the 4...

Your S140-T should already have 4 pinch rollers installed(that's how they come from the factory) and the middle rollers use half pressure and don't really help with tracking unless your material is flexing/puckering in the middle(the middle rollers help keep the material down flatter to the...

We(Airmark) may actually have these old SummaSign and SummaCut drag heads still available. We used to own and operate Summa for 20 years and are the only Summa distributor who stocks replacement parts like this. You can obtain part information by contacting our tech team at 800-323-9766 and once...

If you have a color touch screen, and not a monochromatic touch screen, then you have an S2 machine. You can add additional pinch rollers, which are referred to as media select kits, and you can add as many as you require. Just keep in mind that each additional roller increases your minimum cut...

Would a 30" cutter work or were you looking for something smaller than that? The Summa S1D75(30") cutter would be worth considering, and it has great cutting accuracy(up to 26' of cutting accuracy), speed(44 in/sec.), and force(600 grams capable of cutting up to 30 mil). You can get one of those...

Good to hear that those adjustments got things dialed in better for you! Feel free to contact me anytime if there is anything else I can do to help and hopefully you score a big 10,000 plus decal order soon. Best regards, Phil Johnson Airmark Corporation (800)527-7778, ext. 112 philj@airmark.com

Thanks for providing me with additional information on the materials and blade and pressure settings. We don't recommend flex cutting materials thicker than 6 mil, and the max kiss cutting thickness you can cut at full pressure with a 36 degree blade is 10 mil, so I am thinking these materials...

We appreciate the kind words and I will be sure to let Dan & Drew know they did a great job. Best of luck with the F1612 going forward and feel free to contact us anytime if there is anything else that we can do to support your business. Best regards, Phil Johnson Airmark Corporation...

What type of material are you flex cutting and how thick is it? What are you current settings for full & flex length, as well as full and flex pressure? It would also be helpful to know what blade you are using as well as how detailed the cuts are that you're trying to perf. Once I know a bit...

Do you have the standard or HF router system? If you have the standard routing system, what diameter collet are you using? Best regards, Phil Johnson Airmark Corporation (800)527-7778, ext. 112 philj@airmark.com

Eurosystems has some instructional videos for Optiscout here - https://www.optiscout.com/main.dml?sprache=eng Not sure if those videos apply to the version of Optiscout that you are running, or the particular Zund model, but probably a good place to get started as a lot of the functions...

If this is HIP material, a translucent overlay(electrocut is the most common brand name) will work much better for traffic signage and meet the FHWA guidelines. There are certain printers, like the TrafficJet for example, that can print directly onto the HIP material, but the investment in a...
