Good morning, The cutter should have included two standard 36 degree blades and one 60 degree thick materials blade. For motocross graphics, I would recommend the 45 degree double wedge blade or the 60 degree thick materials blade. The tip on the 60 degree blades is pretty fine and can...

No problem, I am happy to help! Adding two rollers should definitely help keep the media down flatter to the surface of the cutter. The additional rollers can be installed by the end user and aren't too hard to install, so you could maybe even start by adding one and see if that fixes the issue...

While it's true you could use the standard blades in there, if the material is flexing enough to cause scratching with the standard nose piece then switching to the thick materials nose piece probably won't help much. You could try the swab trick also, however the best long term solution for...

I wish you had purchased the Summa from us originally as we could have provided you with much better training up front on how to best use your Summa cutter. We do offer extended support plans like I had mentioned to you in the past and you might consider getting one of those plans so our techs...

The cutter doesn't perform both a kiss cut and a perf cut in the same pass, but in the same job. The Summa will kiss cut first and then perf cut second, but you only need to send the job once and don't need to change the tool position on the head. This is a big time saver for higher volume shops...

Hello Ikarasu, Are you only perf cutting with your Graphtec or are you combining a kiss cut and a perf cut in the same job? If so, do you have to change the tool position between cut types and send the job twice(once for kiss cut and a second time for perf)? With the Summa cutters you can...

Good morning, What Frank said is correct and you need a dedicated USB connection to make the process work. Should function right out of Caldera provided you install the Summa Postnet driver like Frank said. You might also check with Caldera to see if they have any bug fix patches that might...

Good morning, Just wanted to point out that you can add additional pinch rollers to your Summa cutter and if the media is "flexing" and creating a high spot that the blade is scratching during cutting, the best solution would be to add an additional pinch roller to keep the media down flatter...

Just wanted to point out that only the OPOS Cam models are capable of reading marks larger than the standard 2mm black squares. Also, the OPOS Cam models aren't any more or less accurate than the standard OPOS X models, they just detect the registration marks quicker. If your cutter isn't having...

What type of material is it that you are trying to flex cut and is it laminated? What is the total thickness? What are you flex and full pressure settings for the flex cut? Have you tried adjusting the full and flex lengths? There are many adjustments that can be made to improve the flex...

Good afternoon, I would double check all of your flex cut settings and reduce the values for flex length(tabbed portion) and full length(gaps between tabs) when attempting to flex cut curves. Flex cutting is really designed for perforating straight lines as opposed to curves, but if you reduce...

Hi Stephen, I just sent you a PM with some information on how you can get some tech support from us(Airmark) so you can dial in your new Summa. Unfortunately a lot of Summa dealers are new and don't have the knowledge or experience to provide quality tech support on the Summa equipment. We...

Hi Chris, There are some very attractive offers on the Summa flatbeds right now and we have an option for 0% financing with 90 day deferred payments. For cutting flexible roll media like what you are describing, the F1612 would be an excellent choice. Let me know if you might be interested in...

What Sean said is all accurate(thanks for the help, Sean!) and, as he mentioned, you can reuse the sacrificial mat several times. I would say noise level will vary greatly depending on your operating environment, materials that you are routing, etc. but generally speaking the machine isn't too...

Good morning, Just wanted to clarify that the conveyor extension adds 47" to the length, but the extension area is not part of the working area meaning you can't cut on the extended portion of the belt. It definitely helps with media loading and unloading like Matt mentioned. Retail on the...

I would also look at the GFP cold laminators as well. High quality rollers and the price point is very reasonable. We are a distributor for GFP and I can email you some information on the different GFP models along with some pricing. Please PM or email me your contact info to philj@airmark.com...

No, of course I didn't mean that it is literally the only cutter capable of contour cutting. I meant that it is the best at contour cutting, especially if accuracy is the main concern, which it was for the OP in this case. If you like your Graphtec cutters I think that is great and happy to hear...

Good morning, Summa is the only way to go for contour cutting. The Summa cutters all come standard with OPOS X, like Frank mentioned, and the sensor is very reliable and accurate. The SummaCut Series might be a perfect fit in terms of cost and performance compared to one of the lower end...

We have continued to add additional COVID-19 response resources for sign makers to our website including instructions for manufacturing masks, face shields, sanitizer, and medical safety boxes. There is also additional information on the stimulus options included with the CARES Act and how to...
