  1. SUMMA D140R - I need serious help.

    That's pretty rare I do that high of numbers in a week. Just kinda all hit at once in that week. Usually I'm doing 3-5k pieces a week at most, which I don't feel is high production. But I don't know what kinds of numbers other people do in this kind of work. My background is from large...
  2. Need Help Cannot read OPOS marks on glitter vinyl.

    I did some red metal flake and it couldn't even calibrate that media because it's dark and the marks are hard to see. I've gotten good results by placing some application tape over the mark and cutting the square out and then reading it. It's kind of a pain but it works.
  3. SUMMA D140R - I need serious help.

    I just feel like I was lead in the wrong direction for this cutter. They said I shouldn't have any problems doing full cut (die cut) stickers like I had been doing on my Roland. Obviously it's not meant to do them and if you do then you need to make sure your blade is very sharp and dialed in...
  4. SUMMA D140R - I need serious help.

    But do you do a lot of cutting through the backing material on your materials? That's where my issue seems to be with the cutting through.
  5. SUMMA D140R - I need serious help.

    I've gone through all of that to make sure the software wasn't overriding the machine settings. I feel like I should've gotten a graphtec because they have the cut channel for exactly this kind of stuff. Or would an S2 T work in doing a lot of die cut stickers? I've got to do something because...
  6. SUMMA D140R - I need serious help.

    Ok. I'm not going completely crazy then. Most of the weren't individual flex cut items. The majority of the 30k were kiss cuts but then I flex cut out the larger portions. (ie 20 labels per sheet) I do a fair bit of die cut stickers though it's usually like 200-500 per order most of the time...
  7. SUMMA D140R - I need serious help.

    4 rollers. I can't add anymore they said to the SummaCut version. It was fine when I put the blade in. I kiss cut about 7k labels and did a bunch of flex cuts on the label sheets. I just have a feeling I should've gotten the S2 T version. Over the last 7 days I've cut 30k labels and stickers. I...
  8. SUMMA D140R - I need serious help.

    New blades installed. Reset my depth and pressures. Cutting through a 3.4mil with a 3mil laminate worked great for about 2 days and now back to the same place I was before. The cuts get lighter and the left side of the sheet is not cut as deep as the right. So my guess is that if I do flex...
  9. SUMMA D140R - I need serious help.

    One reason I think is because they say the cut strip is damaged and I probably broke or dulled all my blades. Only one looks broken though. Getting new blades today, also I just think the way I'm used to setting up my sp540v is a little different than this machine. I've seen several different...
  10. Onyx Cut Server - Not cutting entire file

    Yes it shows the all the cuts. I'm not sure if I tried turning any off in that case to see if it still only cut half. I'll have to try that a couple of those things. It just seems odd that one way of cutting it doesn't work.
  11. SUMMA D140R - I need serious help.

    Well with the blade pictured I was cutting Kiss cutting and flex cutting 3.4mil vinyl and of course through the backer. (I don't have a micrometer so I'm not sure of the thickness of the backer.) Most of what I cut is the 3.4mil with a 3mil vinyl. My Flex settings were 275/135grams (Full/Flex...
  12. SUMMA D140R - I need serious help.

    According to Summa I've ruined 4 blades and my cutting strip in a matter of 2 months. They say my blade is extended too much and my pressures are too high. Any discoloration of the cutting strip means it need to be replaced. So if you do one Flex Cut run and it scuffs up the strip it's bad...
  13. Onyx Cut Server - Not cutting entire file

    It doesn't do it when I run barcode server for it or when I use WinPlot. It's only when I have Onyx initiate the cutting process. It's highly unlikely it's the cutter that's causing it. It's something with Onyx.
  14. SUMMA D140R - I need serious help.

    I did a one time. I had started cutting a job and by the end of the sheet it was barely cutting at all and noticed the blade holder was not sitting deep enough. Don't think I had it tight enough and it pushed the holder up during cutting. I make sure the holder is all the way seated when I...
  15. SUMMA D140R - I need serious help.

    They are going to open a ticket with Summa as of today to see if it can be resolved. They aren't sure why I'm having this problem with a new machine. Guess I'll just wait and see what they say. I mean I never got hands-on training because of the virus stuff so maybe I'm missing something...
  16. SUMMA D140R - I need serious help.

    "Thank you for providing the information. Our goal at Summa America is to have all our dealers be proficient in our products. All our dealers have participated in our training sessions and have Summa Certified technicians." That's what I got back from them. Even a rep from my dealer said that...
  17. Onyx Cut Server - Not cutting entire file

    The machine is 2 months old. If that's the case I've got a lemon Summa cutter then.
  18. SUMMA D140R - I need serious help.

    I don't feel any grooves. I see where the blade has touched it. Just looks like it's scuffed the surface but I don't feel any kind of grooves in it if I run my fingernails across it.

    Not sure what a planar cable is. You mean the network cable?
  20. SUMMA D140R - I need serious help.

    What does a bad strip look like? I don't even know what to look for. It looks fine to me, but I don't know what a bad one looks like.
