I wanted to do a contour cut and then a flex cut. Gives a cleaner cut than just doing the flex cut alone.

What I'm seeing is it just seems to discard the top layer cut, whichever one is on the top most layer whether it's CutContour or FlexCut. When it gets into cut server it will have only the cut layer directly above the artwork layer. All this absolutely works if the paths aren't duplicated on top...

Don't think I've got any settings missed that I know of .

Hmm well...I've tried lots of things and nothing seems to work. In Illustrator I've got my art on the base layer, then the next layer will have the FlexCut with the assigned spot color, then using the same cut path, but with the CutContour spot color on the top layer. I save my PDF import to...

I've been struggling with cutting techniques and one thing I'm having trouble with is Onyx cut server. Now I want to do a Contour Cut and then a Flex Cut in one pass. (Not sure this is possible) In any case if I layer my file with Flex Cut on bottom and Contour Cut on top when I print it to the...

Guess it must just be Onyx that is the issue with being able to do that in one pass. I still have to figure out what to do with my still very new D140.

Thanks for that! So you guys just run a Perf cut and no contour cut before you perf over the same sticker? (on my roland I can do a contour and perf cut in one pass which makes the cuts come out nice and clean) Can you do both of those cuts in a single pass? I haven't figured out a way to do...

Thank you. I'm glad to get more of the graphtec opinion as well. Like I said I just want something to work and not have to worry about the cuts every sheet I put in. The blade position thing isn't a deal breaker. I mean right now I'm back to doing my perf cuts on my Roland Sp540V. The FC9000...

So I'm defintely going to need to upgrade my machine, I've been told by a few people that the S2 T will be much better but it's not perfect for die cuts, obviously a flatbed would be ideal but I cannot afford 50-60k cutter. So my next best options are the Summa S2 T or the GraphTec FC9000...

I agree with the others. I bought my SP540V two years ago, and it was in great shape for $2500. That's way too much for that old of a printer. I'd try and talk them down.

Should be named how Onyx will recognize it I'm assuming which should be right. I just don't seem to understand the actual cut settings and why it keeps doing a perf cut. It reads the roland marks (which are .5" in size) and proceeded to cut in the correct positions but always a perf cut. And...

I've managed to print from my Epson with the Roland marks but the cutting is where it's faltering. My Roland was able to read the marks correctly and start cutting but it tried doing perf cuts every time it goes to cut. This is stumping me.

I can run my SP540V from Onyx and it does put the marks. I can set it as my cutter and it puts the appropriate marks they just don't seem to register right. Just trying to avoid printing on my 540V because next to the Epson it's slow as watching the grass grow.

Since I'm having cutting issues and I need to cut on my SP-540V. I want to print jobs on my Epson and then cut them on my Roland. I can print the marks but I cannot get them to read and also anyone have insight into the settings for perf cutting in Onyx. It's a bit different than going through...

It's happening with UPS as well. 2 weeks in a row I've had material orders that get an "exception" and ended up having to drive to the sorting facility to pick them up and it happened again on my last shipment I was supposed to get last week.

Yeah I saw you have to change the position of it but it's better than me throwing away half a run because of cutting problems and having to reprint. I'm not concerned with as much speed as I am consistency in just getting jobs cut and done with the least amount of problems. I had initially...

I had recently bought a Summa D140 and I've been less than pleased with it. I was told I wouldn't have any problems doing die cut stickers on it but after using for a couple of months it's just been terrible for this. I've had to reprint and throw away more material than I should be, which has...

What I meant is that I can't afford to keep this and buy a new machine. Its just got me stressed out and finishing jobs more difficult and taking longer. My hope is that I can work something out to get back on track because I'm certain it's worth the upgrade. My entire goal was to have a machine...

Yes probably the strip needs replacing. I definitely don't have cash available for a $60k flatbed but I wish I would've looked at the Graphtec cutters because I think that would've been the option I need for what I do. I'm going to look into seeing if I can get rid of this machine. I've had it...

Yeah see I think it's wearing out faster because of volume and I think the tangential would help. Regular cuts are fine...I've got no issue with just a regular kiss cut. I haven't had it that long, but my blade definitely got switched around the 1000sq ft mark. I've tried several depths and...
