Re: Just got my DC4SX. Can you guys compete with today's printers?
Stick with spots as much as possible.
Your not going to compete as far as vehicle graphics, but small/large run stickers you bet you can.
I keep my DC3 mostly for its ability to print white.

Re: IJ35C Beware
I stopped using IJ35c a few years ago, it shrinks way to much.
In fact I am done with 3m in general. Have been for 2 years, never been happier.

Re: No more Summa printers?
I still run mine and it prints like a champ... Avery's color change vinyl prints incredibly well. Summa just didn't market it right, that and the lack of info/issues and how to correct them just wasn't there. No one had answers. I did my best trying to cure some of that here with DG. Nice to hear fr...

Re: DC3 noob in need of help again.
make sure you have cmy or cmyk ribbons loaded. open up color control ( i will assume you have this ) drop your file in and print. It will ask you if you want to use cmy or cmyk. Spot colors are something else, you'll need Coreldraw or Adobe Illustrator with summa spot color pallet installed. Muts Yo...

Re: New to thermal print 3M 5100???
Welcome, I have no experience with 5100, but as far as reflective goes I have good results with Nikkalite 48000 Flexible Engineer Grade Reflective. Mind you it's old school reflective with a very aggressive adhesive. What I have been printing on as of late is Avery Color Change films mostly SW900 Wh...

Re: Alignment issue
Summa I think is done with their printers. My DC3 is now a 700 lb paper weight.
I have even had issues getting GOOD support for their cutters now.
Sad..

Re: Technical info about DC4sx
I have changed the head 3 times. - easy.
I have replaced the hard drive also. ( I now keep a copy of it, summa wants a ridiculous amount of money for it. )
Never had any other issues.
