I'm not making any assumptions and am trying to provide information that is helpful to all users who may have the SummaCut machines or to those who are considering getting one of the S One and S2 models. The SummaCut Series is now discontinued anyways so information on those units will be...

Hi All, Just wanted to clarify that the S2 D Series DOES have the automatic cut off knife just like the S2 T Series so you could use that feature on the S2 D Series if you wanted to. The new S One D Series model does not have the cutoff knife so if you're referring to that when you say...

The cutter comes with a 15' USB cable so 20' with a booster/repeater should be fine. I wouldn't go much longer than that, though, to avoid any communication issues sending files to the machine. Another thing to note is that you have to run the Camera Control software in the background with the...

The OPOS Cam has faster mark recognition compared to the OPOS X sensor(1 second per mark versus 4-5 seconds with the sensor) and is able to detect registration marks more consistently on materials with high reflectivity or mirrored finish. The OPOS Cam models do need to be connected via USB...

What cutting software are you using to send files to the D60U? If you are using Winplot you may need to change your port selection in the cutter setup menu to the correct USB port. This is especially important if your new S One D75 is also connected via USB as well. You can use Summa Cutter...

What kinds of applications did you have in mind for the printer and do you have any other equipment like a cutter that you are already using? Also, do you have a preference for the design and RIP software that you would like to use? Once we all have a bit more information on what types of...

Hi Tracy, One of the Summa S2T75(30") cutters would work well for this application. The machine has a dual servo drive system to work with heavier films and should work well with the engineer grade reflective materials that you will need to cut. We have special pricing for Signs101 members on...

Hi Danielle, One of our clients recently put the S2 T Series through all its paces trying to cut this material and unfortunately the 21 mil stock just won't cut consistently on the S2 T Series. It's a really heavy material that is difficult to track and while the S2 has enough force to cut it...

Hi Logan, I received your email and sent you a reply. I checked inventory and we do have the dual head assembly kits in stock if you wanted to go that route. Like others mentioned above and I did as well in my email, when you install the dual head you lose OPOS so you wouldn't be able to do...

Good morning, As previously mentioned, the F1612 is a capable and more affordable alternative to the other brands you mentioned. We have some really nice promos on the F-Series machines right now and have worked with many members here on the site, including Sean. Let me know if I can answer...

Hi Dennis, I sent you a PM last week regarding the F1612. Did you see that by chance? We have these in stock and can offer great pricing and a quick turnaround time for install if this is still a need. Let me know if there's anything we might be able to do to help. Thanks, Dennis! Best...

Good morning, We may be able to help out. Did you have a certain budget in mind and were you strictly looking for a used machine or would a new machine at a great price be something you might consider? Also, just to make sure the D140/160 will be the best fit for your needs, what sorts of...

The ADX models from American Rotary would be a very good choice. You can hardwire directly to the machine or install a plug, either way. As for the RIP software, Onyx would be a good option to facilitate the barcode workflow but you would still need to upgrade the GoProduce to add barcode...

That's simply not a true statement and we have successfully installed several hundred of these flatbeds all over the country. Our team trained Summa's technicians originally and know these flatbeds better than anyone(we used to own and operate Summa and developed the F-Series technology). We...

If your accuracy issues are being caused because the material is flexing/puckering, then yes, adding the extra rollers will keep the material down flatter and reduce the gap distances between the rollers and your cuts should be more accurate. They will also help to prevent the knife from...

Hi Andy, Welcome from another PNWer and long time member here on the site. We aren't too far away from you here in Seattle and offer all sorts of different media, software, and equipment and I would be happy to be a resource for you if you ever have questions about your existing equipment or...

Just wanted to confirm that the OPOS Cam cutters still require a USB connection regardless of whether you are using the new GoSign software or not. The GoSign software does have a new user interface that has a material manager with customizable tool action sets so you can define what types of...

The accuracy shouldn't be affected by adding additional pinch rollers in the middle(the middle rollers have half the pressure of the outer rollers and the outer rolls are primarily responsible for material tracking), however your minimum cut width does increase by adding each roller by about...

As was suggested, you might get a copy of the spectratone guide from Gerber if you can because you can blend the base spot colors to create custom colors. There are around 80 or so base spot colors with the Gerber machines and the guide will provide the pantone code and tell you which two colors...

Good morning, Unfortunately the answer to your question is there isn't a way to do OPOS cutting on your DC5. On some previous models like the DC4 you could use the machine to do cut only functions using Winplot(this was a while back now) but that was just cut only without any registration...
