Have installed one, I work as a supporter for a summa dealer in europe. You will get instructions how to do it with the kit. The only tricky thing is to remove and reinsert the cam with which the rollers will be lowered. If people try it themselves, they sometimes kill the pinch roller switch...

If the plotter wont start with its correct name, you could try the following: Start Summa Cutter Control Software (Version 4) Press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+M A list with possible models appear on the screen, select the one you think you own ;) Click OK

Activate "Soft Proof" in the View-Window. Before, select your output profile in the color settings.

We had that with first and second generation latex.

I know that problems from HP, Encad and SummaPaints since 18 years.

Of course HP knows that issue, because it is due to design, any thermal inkjet printers have that problem since the beginning. But there are workarounds, and HP explains them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2vmmeZ9DjY&list=PLsEgsF8P0nXF0QzWs2UX5Vyj F7p1I516I...

In Europe, HP is market leader in the category 44 - 104" Low Volume Production Printer, with a market share of - depending on the country - 40 - 50%. I work for a dealer and make ALL of the latex installations, but even if some of the users sometimes have complains about details, nearly no one...

The loading procedure is different to other printers. But, If you check how it works it's easy. On a Latex 280 (104"), I was able to load a 100"-Canvas roll easily without any help.

clean or replace the linear encoder.

Regularly, PC600-Heads are not available anymore from roland. I wish you luck that your indonesian source is ok, but often they are not.

It's not the same.

@ cboy808: Would be a good idea to have a look on the machines if you have the possibility in seattle. You will be impressed. If you could read german, you can have a look on www.oposx.ch . I work at a dealer, doing for example demonstrations of signmaking units like printers and cutters. One...

With Flexi, you have a little app named "Preference Manager" (in the "Program"-Menu in "Sai Production Suite" or in the program folder). When you have Flexi configured as you want to you could open this app (after closing Flexi) and save the current settings with a name as you want to (just...

All Summa Cutters will do that without manual intervention as changing the knife position. There are some configurations to do before, for example setting the knife depth to cut through the liner, and setting up the knife pressures, but you don't need to do that for every single job. In Flexi...

One thing is different between the XC540/L260/FB500 on one hand and the Latex 360 on the other: because the 360 is a Contone Printer, everything except the ICC-Profile (Dithering, Ink Limiting, linearisation) is processed in the printer. Only the ICC-Profile-Creation makes sense to be done in...

I'm sorry I need to correct this. What improves scratch resistance is IN the ink, is something HP named "Anti Scratch Agent". The Optimizer improves print quality on higher print speeds, and is the reason why banding doesn't appear anymore even if you print 20sqm an hour. Have a look on this...

Yes. HP has published an "answer" to that (is attached), as I have done a few months ago here on Signs101. You won't have more issues with color consistency on the new than on the old machine. In opposite, it is improved with the Latex 360. Color Consistency is a typical Issue with thermal...

Compare the weights of the Roland and the HP: Roland XR-640: 205kg HP Latex 360: 207kg If a Roland with a metal housing and additional mechanics for the Contour Cutting weights less than a Print-Only Latex with a lot of plastic, to what conclusion will that lead according to the basic engine...

I save an own default. Resetting to this own defaults will solve Problems too in 95% of all cases, and will not delete custom settings and setups.

I work at an HP dealer, and we had a lot more problems with the length accuracy of Latex 260 and 280 than with the 300-series. With the 260 and 280 (26500 and 28500) it was a problem of the infrared temperature sensor, and how it works on uni- or multicolor surfaces. On the Latex 360, HP have...
