Running two plotters through illustrator?
Hi people, im expecting my new summa to arrive in the coming days.
I was planning on selling my current graphtec ce6000 but im now toying with the idea of running both as the secondhand value isnt exactly going to change my world and there are times 2 would be better than 1.
So running my graphtec with illustrator and the plugin, will adding the summa plugin cause issues or will there simply be both options available in illustrator?
Im guessing plenty of you run 2 plotters for the same reasons ive mentioned?
Thanks

Summa has a different program (Summa Winplot) for cutting – you just open your .ai file in this program and send to cutter, instead of sending to cutter from Illustrator directly.

Hi colin, yes it also runs a plugin through illustrator i believe.

We have multi cutter so avoided running direct from art dept.

I know you can do it in RIP Software printing, but I didn’t know this was possible with a cutter.
that said, do you think there is a lot of time-saving? cutters don’t take long cutting unless big runs of small graphics.-
Probably wont save a huge amount of time but there are instances where ive got say 60 small tshirt logos cutting. Takes a fair amount of time.
