  1. Macsign cut

    Ok, missed that completely. Looked at the tutorial and wow....not very impressed because simple handlings look now very time consuming. Maybe in real life its less complicated but not sure if the plugin is a better and faster option than my current setup.
  2. Macsign cut

    Since long long time i'm using macsign cut (the free version) for my S2. It works like a charm but according to specs only up to macos 10.14. Which is outdated (chrome gives me warnings it can't be updated anymore.) Anyone know if macsign cut is working on higher versions than macos 10.14? I...
  3. Summa S2 cutting reading marks on chrome

    What I do is start printing, and after the first two passes I pause the printing. You can see slightly where the marks are coming. I than stick a white piece of vinyl over the mark and resume the print. It prints the marks on the white patches. You just have to remember to keep an eye on the...
  4. Question Captop problem?

    All the above was checked before (and again this morning. Cleaned everything again, and finally went for the flushing adjust (cap station height on other machines.) Looks like that did the trick (fingers crossed.) As far as I could tell, it needed lowering a few steps.
  5. Question Captop problem?

    Not sure if all oem, but order all parts from Digiprint supplies. I washed all lines from Y splitter to waiste bottle (captops had new lines.) I do find the wipers a bit strange. The top is at an angle. I think I got them installed correct (bit with cutout to the right.) They also seem to...
  6. Question Captop problem?

    After changing the black/cyan printhead (SP300i), the captops, dampers, the pump, and the wipers I get sometimes missing nozzles, and after a cleaning, I get a nozzle check that seems like cross contamination. I also notice that with the aftermarket wipers (all rubber, no felt) the front of the...
  7. Sp300i printhead replacement

    Ok, it took a while but since printing was still acceptable I waited till the store was offline for a couple days to do my first printhead installation. It went perfect. I also renewed all things around the heads, and the pump. My second head (10 years old!) actually was in perfect working...
  8. Sp300i printhead replacement

    Thanks Jim, I had found that link and if I couldn't get the manual before the heads arrived I would have bought it online. But I guessed since it is a legacy machine the service manual would be available for download and I could spend the 15 euro on flowers for the wife. Novadon, I read...
  9. Sp300i printhead replacement

    Digiprint supplied a guide on how to, so that seems to solve question 1. Any thought on question 2? 2. can both heads be replaced at once, or do I 1 head first, get it all up and running and than do it all over for the second head?
  10. Sp300i printhead replacement

    Thanks, I do know how to get in service mode. The service manual for the sp300 I have also. I'm searching for the service manual for the sp300i (if it is different?)
  11. Sp300i printhead replacement

    My heads are failing me and I need to replace them. I normally had this done by a technician, but captop / damper replacement etc I've done before myself. Getting the heads replaced by a technician had gotten real expensive, so I took the change and ordered two heads...
  12. Oracal 751 black problems

    I think I have found the problem. When cutting the vinyl is moving through the cutter (duhh) and slides over the top of the vinylroll thats at the back of the cutter. I think that is causing the scratches. It shows the most on dark (matte) vinyl, but happens actually on all colors. It's just not...
  13. White print vinyl for labels

    For a client I print thousands of labels (2 x 6 cm) on a weekly base. I used oracal 3164 because it is more white than oracal 3651. The 3651 is color off with the cans that are labeled. Recently my clients reports shrinking of the labels leaving an edge of residu. Within 1 month after being...
  14. Oracal 751 black problems

    Any ideas what the cause of the problem can be? I mean, i've thrown away at least 3 rolls of material due to this problem. I'm waiting for a reaction from my supplier, but I tend to send the roll back next time I see this again (knowing the next 15 metres are useless)
  15. Oracal 751 black problems

    On a regular base I see faults in rolls of Oracal 751 (mostly black gloss or matte.) I looks like manufacturing faults. It starts somewhere halfway a roll, repeats itself every other 1.5 meters for like 20 meters and than dissapears. Since it doesn't follow the roll diameter (it's not on the...
  16. Working with my new Summa S2 T Series

    For Mac you can use Macsign. Simple program. Save your illustrator files as 'illustrator 3', import into macsign, place on virtueel sheet and hit cut. Personally I don't like winplot. I only use it for OPOS cutting.
  17. White on transparant for small labels

    Lol, but only if you tell my wife. The Gerber option isn't going to do it. That really is way to expensive. No problem if it is a couple of thousand, but that's my limit. There are others out there who will be able to provide the needed decals for the client. I know she won't move over all the...
  18. copyright question

    Well, I'm not taking any chances anymore. Just had lots of problems with two carbrands who slammed me with a clam for using inappropriate product-titels. Example: I sold my own striping designs shown on different car brands as brand x striping 1, brand x striping 2, brand y striping 1, brand y...
  19. White on transparant for small labels

    Hi There, for a client who sells nailpolish product i produce a lot of labels. Most are printed on white labels. Client now wants a product range with glass enclosure. My Roland printer has no white inkt option. So i'm looking into labelprinters that can print solid white on transparant...
