Couple of questions (sorry to hijack the thread)... What is this machine like at cutting things longer than the bed? Say a roller banner for instance? Is there always a slight notch where the machine has cut it in 2 sections? As above, has anyone used it to cut acrylic with a polished edge...

Who’s the supplier if you don’t mind me asking? Wouldn’t mind a cost price R2000 and will happily buy some ink from them.

Hi, I'm trying to find an easy way to print/cut multiple square vinyl prints in a grid pattern with no gap between them i.e. common / shared cut lines, without having to set up a cut file in Illustrator or similar. Is there an easy way to utilise the PDFTrimBox property with Caldera to do...

I would say the rip is probably adding them.

2 cuts in the same place? Why 2? Don’t get it.

Oh and not used this but have used similar. Need a laminate for this job though.

Thanks for the reply. I think the laminate is actually monomeric as well, although solvent adhesive. I'm mostly concerned with the vinyl pealing off the floors / not adhering well / lifting prematurely etc. Do you think that's going to be an issue? It is permanent, but water based. Don't...

Hi, Is there any reason not to use this material (attached) for floor graphics with an appropriate slip rated laminate? Would be used on hard flat internal floors. It's a 1-3 year monomeric with permanent water based acrylic adhesive. Should we be using a solvent based adhesive? Does it...

Hi there, I see you posted something about your FB550 and Caldera V13 in the premium area? I can't access that area but would really like to read that thread. We have an FB750 and have had issues upgrading Caldera to V13 and ended up downgrading to V12. Are you having the same issues? Did...

Hi, We've just purchased an S2 160T and are perf cutting circular floor graphics. These are 300mm wide and we're printing them 4 up, 3 or 4 rows at a time, laminating and cutting them in sheets. The first couple of rows per sheet come out perfect but by row 3 or 4 there are a few where the...

Hi, We've just purchased our first vinyl cutter (Summa S160) and we're just trying to get our heads around how we should supply and produce simple "through cut" type graphics with as little manual labour as possible. I realise this is probably a very basic question for most people on here so...

Thanks guys. That's what I thought. We don't have the OPOS Cam model. Does that make a difference? Thanks.

Thanks for that. That’s what I thought.

Thanks for the reply. I thought Caldera had this functionality built into it rather than using the Summa software?

Hi, Posted this over in digital printing but not having much joy there so thought this might be a more suitable place (apologies). We have Caldera V12 running on a Mac and have just bought a Summa S2 160T. I was under the impression that barcodes could be created in Caldera and then read by...

Hi, We have Caldera V12 running on a Mac and have just bought a Summa S2 160T. I was under the impression that barcodes could be created in Caldera and then read by the cutter automatically without the need for an additional PC running Windows. The engineer who installed the machine doesn't...

Thanks for the reply. How do you find the machine cutting heavier stuff like laminated floor graphics? Does it handle it OK?

Out of interest, what did you end up doing and how have you found the machine? How much is the service contract? I can’t imagine there are many independent Dyss engineers floating around the UK.

We have a FB750. When we first got it we used to switch the inks as soon as they said zero. When we had an engineer visit I commented on how much ink was left in the bags and he told us to just run them until they're empty so that's what we've done. Sometimes we get a huge amount more printing...

Hi, We're considering buying one of the below cutters to run alongside our Latex 360. It will mostly be used for print and cut graphics, printed and laminated floor graphics and very occasional standard vinyl. We would want to kiss cut but also have the option to cut right through the...
