  1. GoSign Won't See S3 Summa

    Summa S3 - been working fine for a few months. All of the sudden - GoSign doesn't see the device. I go to Devices in GoSign - Edit - and both USB and WiFi list the device in the window. I click OK (on either or, I've tried both, unplugged USB, re-connected Wifi from control panel on cutter...
  2. Summa S3 Vacuum

    It's been a long day and I feel like this is a simple thing but I just cannot find how to increase the vacuum on my S3? It's gotta be in the control panel somewhere - any help? I am still dealing with my blade making a small cut across my prints during initialization on the X axis. Blade is...
  3. New S3 Question

    Got my brand new S3 running (finally and thanks to many of you for helping!). I am getting some drag cuts across some of my prints - anyone know how to prevent this? They are not deep - but the knife is dragging and making small marks in my print. Using tangential cut/blade. (See pic - marks...

  5. Summa S2

    Have searched the forum - looking for advice for my direct setup/application. I am trying to fix my Versacamm for cutting issues - but I do a lot of smaller logo decals and thinking a Summa S2 T75 is the way to go. Here is my setup - please let me know the easiest way to operate a new Summa...
  6. Cut Line Off

    Keep ruining prints - out of nowhere my cut line is “shifted” towards front of machine. It is perfectly aligned as a file - and even on VW when I zoom in cut line is exactly centered. If I orient the graphic sideways - the cut line is shifted to the right. When graphic is oriented right side up...
  7. Roland - Black Lines

    Developed an issue today - black print head is only a few months old and has been printing flawlessly until now. I did a Powerful Clean and it seemed good the next run. Then the next time I printed lines returned. I did a manual clean - and still getting same lines in my prints (attached). Any...
  8. Which Summa.....

    Background - I have been using my Roland Versacamm SP300-V for over a decade. I have installed a cut carriage cable, new print heads, servo motor, etc. so I am not afraid to tackle any mechanical jobs on the printer. I do a lot of smaller sized print and cut decals using thick material and the...
  9. Roland SP300V - Cutting Force doesn't change

    Have had a recent odd problem. Cutting through vinyl with thick lam (15mm). New Cut Strip, Brand new 60 degree blade, and brand new OEM Blade Holder. I am still cutting at 250gf or so. I did some test cuts and increased the pressure all the way to 300gf - and there isn't much of a difference...
  10. Help Please....stumped

    Hey guys - having an issue with deflection (not head strike). Was thinking it was static related.....35-45% humidity in the office. Haven't really had issues before in the dry winter in years past until now....I added a ground from printer to the stand, have a humidifier in the room, cleaned...
  11. Head Issue

    Roland SP-300V Versaworks Test Print and Pic of print just created. Black and change of color I notice a lot of little streaks (as pictured). Also just noticed it is doing it when I printed some maroon numbers. Did a powerful clean, and a manual clean. I’ve also searched the forum but...
  12. Cut Force drops on second row

    Have 24 decals (1 in final file but in Roland changed Quantity to 24) printed and laminated - registration marks found (never been an issue) . First row of 4 decals cut force is perfect - every single time, the second and subsequent rows it barely cuts them. Same file. First time this has...
  13. What to charge - Brick Wall Installation

    What is a common per square foot charge for laminated Arlon DPF 8000 - ballpark? I know a full wrap would be different then a cut contoured logo for instance - any ideas? Interior finder block/weight room installation. Thank you!
  14. Static Cling and headstrike

    Roland Versacamm with Versaworks. Roland 7mm static cling material. I unwound the material to let it settle - but am still getting headstrike every few inches. I think I have the profile and settings dialed in (did some smaller test prints and they came out great). Now I go to the job in...
  15. What material - interior signage?

    I have seen cut out signs that are made of some type of plastic for interior purposes?.... Assuming they are CNCd to a specific custom shape to match a design - or obviously you could use a rectangle/square piece and wrap with whatever. My question is - what material is this made out of...
  16. Brick Wall - Arlon dpf 8000

    Anyone use the Arlon dpf 8000 for cinder block application? I've searched the forum already but didn't see anything in regard to lamination with this media - I normally laminate pretty much everything that leaves my office - but is lamination required using this media? I have a request to do...
  17. Roland Sp300 - Grainy Print

    Have one specific logo (person made originally in a newer version of Illustrator than what I use, so couldn't open it, told them to re-save to CS5, then they emailed it over) - that is printing grainy. Almost like it is not vector. Even when I scale it down it is real blurry when it prints -...
  18. Material Cheat When Cutting

    Roland VersaCamm. Printing multiple different sheets of material with decals/cutcontour. They always say to run off 8 inches past the last crop marks (as machine feeds material forward before "completing" the cut) before you sheet cut - however - in an effort to to save material I cut pretty...
  19. Bad Transfer Tape??

    I am having a horrible time with the backing liner splitting into two when trying to lift the transfer tape off some holographic cut vinyl. Does temperature have anything to do with it? I am in a climate controlled room..... Never had this issue before - especially if I go at a 45 degree...
