Thinking of changing from Roland to Summa. Your thougts?
Hi I have used the Roland GX 24 for my small sticker supplies Business. Its been brilliant and with cut studio it allows me to cut stickers very quickly. In saying this I also print colour stickers. I have not had much luck contour cutting accurately up to 1.2m even though I think I have mastered this cutter and I struggle to cut perfect round stickers around the round sticker design thats been printed. I have printed and contour cut about 50 metres of material so I think I do have a great understanding of this machine. Anyway I use about 640mm width vinyl and I only print stickers at about 540mm in width and want to maximize the use of materials by printing about 620mm. Throwing out that 3 or 4 inches in material and laminate starts to add up.
So I am thinking of purchasing a Summa D75. My question is simple and if someone has used both and can reply that would be great. How difficult is it adding the contour cutting registration marks for a Summa. What would the work flow be like?
I use Illustrator. With the GX 24 all I do is make the image add the registration marks hide the contour cutting lines and print away. When ready just show the contour lines in illustrator and via the cutstudio plugin i move into the cut studio software feed media, place the round reg marks identically over the white cutting strip and start cutting the contour lines.
Any thoughts? It’s a new process I need to learn but I want to purchase a machine that can contour cut near perfect shapes as required.
Thank You
Joe
