Does anybody know a way to tell the summa to stop cutting out the contour markers? It's quiet annoying and 'time consuming.' Plus the vinyl needs an extra pass through the machine. I want it to just cutout the design.

After consulting the client he insists it is going to be: A traveler's son or girl next to horses is God's greatest gift to man Well, I guess I tried :)

Well, you guys make it a lot more confusing :) I guess I better contact the client. It's a fact he knows little about the English language and I really have no idea what he actually means. I guess it's better to start of with the correct sentence in Dutch, and try to translate that. It's...

I think the first option is the best. Thanks! The clients words were....uhmm..something like that I think, just make something out of it. The sentence was given in a mix of dutch and english.:peace!:

Hi Guys, a dutch client who is into horses gave me a quote to put on the back of a horse trailer. I'm not sure how to grammatically spell and put this quote correct. (i'm dutch) The quote as given: ' A travellers son or girl next to horses is a god greatest gift to men ' (next to meaning...

dp 8000 tends to shrink on the roll, leaving sticky adhesive on the side. This collects under the guides at the edges and disturbed the movement of the vinyl through the machine. I hate the material and hate even more that i have to use it often. It kills the machine! I've had severe head...

The deflection is no problem. I know about it and a new head will be installed soon. I'm not looking for a solution fore the deflection. I was just wondering if the problem I have with the heavy ink coverage and the spatters in the red can be caused by the deflections or not. If not, than I seem...

Deflections are probably caused by a head strike (damn the dpf8000 which I have to use a lot and is the worst vinyl to handle in the world due to the shrinkage on the roll itself.) I do clean every couple of days, and these deflections won't cure themselves. For me it's a reason to change the...

So I replaced the whipers, cleaned the wiper scraper, did a full head cheap for dust, hair etc, manual cleaning and it's still giving me the damn spots in the red. It looks like it only happens in red (spot color 43K.) I whiped down the vinyl before printing (Oracal 3165) and printed a full set...

I think over saturation is the problem myself. Strange since it occurs on all profiles and media. I do notice that ink is layer down much havier lately than before. I haven't altered setting. As said, using different profiles (and settings high Q, normal), media etc...they all appear to have...

Does anybody know what this might be? I know my black head (sp300i) has some deflections. When printing solid red it looks like the head is spitting out drops of inkt. It's not contamination on the vinyl. Fuzzy picture attached.

I need to cut a oneway vision decal for the rear window of a Toyota Corolla Verso 2004. I have the CCvision template, but the client is going to stick it on himself. The window curves around the edges so it's hard to make a real size template from the CCvision template which is 2d. The decal is...

In the meanwhile.....replaced whippers, whiperscraper, captops, cleaned the encoders trip and put in a new black cartridge. I got rid of the banding with printing in high quality. The only problem left is that I can't print small sharp black letters. Still in doubt wether a tech (at a minimum...

ps, the black cartridge is almonst empty..I get the warning message. Can I just change it for a new one without the printer telling me to switch it, or is that a bad idea?

Got the printouts. To me the alignment seems fine?

It looks to be a head alignment problem after a head strike. This is how the calibration looks :(

I've had similar problems and what happened was that the blade was pushed a little out of the holder by the thicker material (laminated prints.) Whenever I cut normal vinyl I make sure the blade is pushed in properly ( just sticker out a little bit) and everything is spot on. Too much pushed out...

Here you go. btw, new wipers and scraper are on it's way. Machine gets cleaned 2 times a week (printhead sides, wipers and captops.)

Anybopdy got a clue what is happening here? Black keeps banding. I did the calibrations etc. Cleanded encoder strip. It does give me the message that the black cartridge is on its end, but that has never caused problems like these before. Head is 1.5 years old. I do use the correct profiles...

At the moment I'm using metamark M7 for simple vehicle signing. The material is good but with the growing business clients keep asking for more known brands, so i'm looking into 3m stuff. 3M series 50 - is this good enough for normal side striping, company names etc? 3M series 80 - is this a...
