  1. Is there a heat resistant vinyl?

    I had a customer walk into my shop last week asking about a digital print vinyl that can withstand being applied to a powder coated surface, then have a clear powder coat layer baked on top of it without melting, temps of 400+ degrees. He insisted that he has been told that this product exists...

  7. Summa Firmware Uprgrade Continual Fail

    Phil, thanks for the information. Good to know. I cannot get the company I purchased my Summa from to respond to me either. I purchased a S2 T140 in 2019 and I need parts, like blades and cutting strips also. Can your company provide that? I am still trying to work something out with Summa...
  8. Summa Firmware Uprgrade Continual Fail

    We had the sales rep/tech guru who sold us the cutter come in to our shop and tried all that. Nothing worked. Even he couldn't get Summa to respond. How do I determine if the board is in need of replacement? I can't get anyone to respond to my questions for support.

    Bebas Neue Regular - looks very close
  10. Summa Firmware Uprgrade Continual Fail

    I am just appalled (pissed off beyond belief!!!) at the lack of support from Summa. I have a Summa S2 T140. I do a lot of stickers and have always cut them apart by hand on the production table after doing kiss cut function through Winplot. Well after watching a few YouTube videos of other...
  11. Does logo design matter?

    Was it just me? I thought the logo resembled a chandelier. I do design logos so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
  12. How much do you pay your Graphics Guy?

    I am also in the Houston area. There are design freelancers you can find and work with for specific projects, U.S. regional based designers. Just be prepared to pay them well. I started out as a designer and learned the business from there. Now owning the business I don't have time to do as much...
  13. Customer permission to post job pics online?

    FB is a run by a bunch of communists! They are trying to brainwash everyone to drink their kool aid. I HATE social media specifically for this type of BS. Who do they think they are? This is why I put more work into my website and not social media. The links help my SEO and that is the main...
  14. Attention all newbies

    As a lifelong artist, self taught designer and signmaker for 10+ years, I totally agree. I firmly believe that we never stop learning. I take classes and attend webinars whenever my schedule allows. I subscribe to industry publications that showcase the "creme de la creme" of signs, stories of...
  15. Software for running Summa cutter

    We have the exact same machine and use Winplot, have the plugins for CorelDraw for setting up batch cutting and regmarks. We had the rep who sold us the machine come in a couple months ago to set up Summa Go Sign, because according to the videos on YouTube, it is supposed work beautifully with...
  16. Is this a sign of my printhead(s) dying and needing to be replaced

    We see this sometimes on some print media, usually the cheaper brands when the material has been sitting on the heater for awhile and printed solid blocks of color. Our Roland printer is over 10 years old, it's been very well maintained but every now and again, we get something like this. Tech...
  17. Ink is bleeding?

    Do you have a tech support group you use for your printer? I bought my printer through GSG and if I email them a picture they can usually clue me in on what to do for most problems.
  18. Ink is bleeding?

    My printer did something similar once, tech advised me to clean the decoders strip. Don't know if that will work for you but couldn't hurt.
  19. Bounced Checks

    We do a lot of business with tax exempt entities and they usually prefer to pay by check. Thankfully I have yet to have any that bounced. Thanks for the information on fees for this, hadn't thought about it. Just more concerned with those who don't want to pay at all.

    Craig, Based on things I have learned from researching the various sublimatable products, coating plays a big part in a satisfactory end result. Here is some information that will hopefully help you figure out what is going on. Sublimation coating videos Adhesion Promoter information Hope...
