keep us posted on i7 vs AMD I am going from an amd phenom black 9950 , same harddrives, firepro v5800, 8gb ram system to the intel. My Amd system has problems when I do high memory operations like alienskins filter in a highres file. Once the memory gets used up the computer runs real slow till...

SMD that sounds nice... wish we did ssd we spent the money on the video card. here is what I just built I7-960 3.2ghz 1366 processor asus sabertooth motherboard 24gb tripple ddr3 1600 corsair 2 450gb Velocoraptor Hd's Raid 0 ATI Firepro V5900 video card approx $1800

The way I do it with our Summa: 1. save the cut file out of flexi's product manager as a *.plt file to the computer that is connected to the cutter. 2. send the *.plt file to the cutter using the software provided with the cutter, in our case we use Summa cutter control. Since this worked for...

We just did this awning with arlon 6000xrp it stuck fine, we did this job for a awning company down the street, they usually use a gerber edge to do the awning graphics using 3m vinyl but this job was bigger than the 12" they can do with the edge.

I don't think the problem is your computer, I experience the same thing with large files (high res jpg) in flexi sometimes it won't save them if they are too big. When This happens I try to break the job up into multiple files so its not so big. Sometimes when printing it will rip, then print a...

Plus one on everything here! we had to send our fc8000 back it was replaced with the Summa definately worth the extra money

I have also had that problem with 8.6 when I first loaded it, I am currently running build ver 1437 and images that I drag and drop in are imbedded. One work around with the version you are using is to import to get the images rather than dragging and dropping. You can tell of the image will...

Try step and repeat instead of copy paste

Yes you can use that plotter with a usb/parallel cable. we have ours running on one. the only feature that does not work now is the show me button in flexi. Round man may be right, There may be a setting in your bios for the lpt port you got nothing to loose by trying all of those settings...

Try using an old cardboard roll from the vinyl, roll the print up on the roll, then feed into the laminator letting it unroll as it goes in.

VIDEO CARD You need one that is not on the mother board it will help your problem.

12pm to 8pm weekends if necessary

Have them save it as version 12 dxf from autocad. It will keep the curves that way. This will work I do it all the time

Because the Summa is in a different room from the computer with flexi and the summa does not support using a cat5e network cable just a USB to connect to the computer. The computer we run the summa is an old laptop with bare minimum, so that is connected to the network we save the cut file to it...

Another vote for the summa over the graphtec..... we had both and the summa was definately worth the extra money. Our graphtec had problems finding crop marks for alignment, the construction of the machine does not compare to the summa, the user inputs to the summa are way more user friendly...

I think thats a trick question... Using Versaworks a Standard quality, 720x720 8' long print will take 24minutes with the gcvp glossy calendered vinyl profile. Arlon gtx4560 profile takes 37min. Going to high quality with gcvp takes 47min. Standard quality with W-Pass will take 40min with the...

Rich Salverton at Garston in Rochester.

Has anyone else had problems when there are too many jpg images in a file. Sometimes I cannot save the file cause its too big and have to break it up into a few flexi files.

The only time the summa hasn't found the crop marks for me was once on chrome material, havn't tried chrome since and just recently we had the garage door open and the evening sun set shining on the vinyl caused it to not find the marks, once we blocked the sun, no problem. Also you do need a...

I think the biggest roland cutter is 48". At least when we were looking that is what was available. We have an old laptop running the summa windows xp, 256mb ram. I save the cut file to that computer (via network) then use summa software to send cut to plotter.
