Hey guys, First off, I love love love my summa. Its insanely accurate. I am trying to figure out how to contour cut a decal and then die cut around it through the backing. I make the file with the contour line. I then make them separate cutting forces in Flexi and send the job. But when I...

Phil, I am deciding between buying a used s120t plotter locally to handle production until we can buy a second machine which would probably be the s2160t or 140. It just saves some money until we get our marketing rolling and our sales up. We make laptop skins, so detail and accurate contour...

Awesome! Thank you for getting back so quickly, do both the s and s2 cutters run off of SAI Flexi software for contour cutting?

Hey guys, I am wondering if any of you know the differences between the summa s series and the summa s class 2 series cutters? Also, is there any difference in accuracy between the regular contour registration mark setup and the opos cam setup? Or does it just help with speed? thanks in...

Hey guys I have been getting used to this 54" royal sovereign laminator and one issue has come up and I wanted to double check before I started messing around. The lamination starts our perfect, then one side will slowly develop wrinkles. It looks like the sides are being fed at uneven speeds. I...

Hey guys, I have a royal sovereign laminator, it does not have heat assist. I am getting a constant silvering pattern when laminating car wrap material. I have some headlamps pointing onto the laminate as it feeds as of now to see if a little heat would help. But its still there, running at...

So I have an opportunity to buy a vinyl express q130 54" cutter for a decent price. I need a wide cutter soon, my question is, is this a good cutter? I mainly do detailed contour cutting as I make laptop and cell phone skins. Currently I use a graphtec ce-6000 24". Let me know what you guys...

Ok I am going to get to work on it today and try the recommendations, thanks guys! I will report back once I test it all!

I am using SAI Flexi, I have tried just about every profile out there and don't see a whole lot of improvement, im using a 3m cast wrap and an Arlon calendared wrap material. I attached a picture, hopefully you can see the grainy effect I am explaining. My blacks look good.

Hey guys, I have a mutoh value jet 1324 that I've been getting used to using. It has always printed colors that look very rough or not smooth? Almost grainy. I have checked feed and head alignment, nozzle check is awesome no missed nozzles, fresh ink as well. any tips on what could cause this?

I am looking at buying a used 54" laminator, and the top roller has a small slit maybe 1mm deep and 12 long from an exact blade. Will this be a huge issue? Or is it something I can patch or not worry about? I primarily laminate car wrap material.

I am having a terrible experience with graphtec customer service as well as my machine. Its a ce6000-60, when sensing registration marks it sense the first 3 just fine. However on the 4th it says mark read error. I can not for the life of me get it to work. out of 30 tries it will randomly work...

I have a mutoh VJ-1324 and I won't be printing for 3 weeks, our shop will be closed completely. Should I drain the ink from the whole system? Or is there a way through SAI Flexi to print remotely while im out of town so I can send a small job each day to keep fresh ink in the head? Any advice...

Hey, Thanks for the reply! I should have laid down more info from the beginning. I design mainly in adobe illustrator and I convert the artwork to RGB in illustrator. I save as a PDF because I have CutContour lines Blacks look good, Greys are terrible, and all other colors just look...

Hey guys, So I am trying to find the best print profiles for my media I have been testing, and I keep getting the same dotted effect in colors. It looks like it isn't laying down enough ink or something/ the colors are faint. printing grey is terrible as well, I know grey is a hard color to...

I have Bordeaux ultra eco solvent inks, the 440ml size.

Hey guys, I am looking for a matte or satin paint protection film hopefully with self healing. Are there any recommendations for a film that isn't crazy expensive? It is for short term use so I really don't need the high end stuff. Let me know what you think!! Thanks

Alright guys, I am using a graphtec ce6000-60 24" cutter with SAI Flexi, When I print onto my 24" media with registration marks to cutout a design, I am wasting a few inches on my right side margin. When I load the media the scroll head on the cutter can only scroll so the blade reaches the...
