Hi Folks, I have just purchased a Summa S2 T160 with the tangential cutting head. I have using a DGI for the last 6 years. I having problems dialing this Summa in to cut auto film. It either cuts all the way though or not enough on the one pattern Just seeing if there is anyone else using this plotter for auto film and what set up are you using?, blades? what angle? and cutting strip?, the self healing one or have you changed to a harder one?. Kind regards Mal.

24 inch Summa D60 Plotter for sell w/stand
by Guest NathanMc- 2 replies
- 2.5k views
Hey guys, I have a summa D60 plotter that is still under warranty till this june. The blade seems to not get enough pressure to cut correctly, but at the time my software was buggy also so I'm not sure what the problem was. Summa tech support said it was probably the spring inside the head that moves the blade up and down. They will fix it if you ship it out too them until june. Or if you know what you're doing, you could probably fix it yourself. It comes with the stand also, and all wires and new blade. I'm looking to get 1300.00 for it obo, or I'll take 800.00 and a trade for something. Make offers! located in Eastern NC!

The plotter is a 24 inch plotter, comes with all the cutter control software the stand and all cables along with flexisign unregistered. The plotter currently needs the head replaced on it or something, summa will fix it under warranty but I don't have the time nor money to worry about it. I did however find out that the warranty which is good till june 07 is transferable. I'm asking 1800.00 for all of it, plus shipping if It needs to be shipped.

Removable rigid window tint sheets - WTF?
I created an account just to respond here. I'm not a "tinter" or whatever yall may call yourselves but I came across this product and thought that it looked pretty cool and something I could do myself. I ordered from Lazeway and spent like $150 for two packages. The product is from China although they claim all this America stuff on the website. All i received was two simple rolls of tint, nothing special. I was totally scammed and now I'm looking all over the internet for anyone talking about this product to let them know. Dont buy from them. -

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening. -

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you -

Process
Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape? -

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money! -

Boat window tinting tips
The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.- 1

Boat window tinting tips
Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!- 2
