Summa DC5 has a full
50.2" print and
cut width, not like other thermal transfer (thermal resin) print and cut systems,
e.g. Gerber Edge. Even the little DC5sx prints and cuts a
full 26.4 inches. And with the new OptiPrintTMfeature, which cleans dust and
debris from vinyl, both DC5 and DC5sx deliver superior output on a wider range of
materials - saving you money!Which other printers can do that?
And unlike ink jet printers,
your prints are ready-to-go as soon as they're finished printing!
You can even take them right off the printer and walk on them - no smearing or smudging!! Can your Roland
offer that?Then immediately put them outdoors for up to 5 years,with no
laminating!Saving you more money!Do you know an inkjet printer
that can do that for you?
There's more!
Here's why our clients love Summa's thermal transfer printer
technology:
1.
It's so easy to use. a) Unlike ink jet print and cut systems,
there are no print heads to prime, purge, or clean. This means no
mess and no fuss! And no clogging! b)Unlike ink jet print and cut systems, e.g. Roland, there's
no need to laminate except for extreme conditions.What
good is print and cut technology if you have to remove the print to laminate it
before cutting, anyway?
2.Because there are no fumes, ventilation is not required!
And you won't have your staff going home because of headaches.Even
eco-solvent ink jet printers can't guarantee that. 3.DC5 holds 8, and DC5sx holds 5, high-capacity, auto-changing cassettes at a time. Yes, there
are spot colours, for that brilliant, clean effect you want. You can
even combine spot and process colours with metallic foils for more
dazzling effects. How amazing is that!
4.
Power take-up rollers, OptiTracTM laser-guided tracking, and Encore print
alignment guarantee accuracy. Colour registration is
dot-on-dot tight,
and cut lines are unbelievably precise
(really, they are!). 5. Software enhanced resolution provides up to 609 x
609 apparent
dpi for unbeatable image quality.
6. Did I mention they run completely unattended?
7. For
all it's greatness, the Summa DC5 has a relatively small foot print, taking up
a minimum amount of floor space. Of course, if you have even less
space, the DC5sx is the perfect option for you. 8. Summa's European engineering and craftsmanship
guarantees superior quality.
NO LAMINATION MEANS LOW
PRODUCTION COST PER
SQUARE FOOT, WHICH ADDS UP TO INCREDIBLE, AMAZING VALUE. Why
should you
buy a Summa DC5 or DC5sx? Read on...
Total Automation
Vinyl graphics, contour cut or tiled to any size, guaranteed durability,
without lamination, and operation even while you're away. With
self-adjusting media loading, auto-changing ribbon cassettes, power
take-up rollers, and auto diagnostic technologies built in.
Process, Spot, and Metallic Colors
Choice of six high capacity, auto-changing cassettes plus process, spot
color, and metallic ribbons. You can combine spot and process colors
with metallic foils for dazzling effects.
ColorControlTM
Rip & Cut
Lightening-fast PostScript 3 compatible RIP works together with
intelligent contour cutting technology that identifies cut lines from
inside your print files. Because this is standard equipment, there are
no hidden costs, and you get incredibly fast and powerful printing
software.
Ready on Demand
Turn it on and you're making signs. With the instant-drying and
eco-friendly resin inks there are no clogged printheads, so you won't
waste time cleaning. And your clients won't waste time waiting for
images to dry.
OptiTracTM
Media Handling
Load your material and OptiTrac's laser-guided tracing system aligns it
automatically. Then it keeps the media aligned from start to finish.
Color registration is dot-on-dot tight. Cut lines are so precise they'll
amaze you.
Affordable to Own and Operate
At this price it's a bargain, and it offers the lowest operational cost of
any printer in its class. Summa DC5 sets new standards for
affordability. The powerful, little DC5sx is even more affordable!
ABOUT SUMMA:
For more than a quarter-century, Summa engineers have designed
some of the most popular, affordable and durable equipment
solutions for the sign making, outdoor advertising and aircraft
marking industries. Summa's rich history began in a factory raised
in Gistel, Belgium in 1973. The factory was
established to assemble high-tech recording devices
used in, among other things, the manufacture of
precision optical lens. Summa's evolution into vinyl
imaging started in 1987, when it began modifying
pen-plotters for use in vinyl-cutting applications.
That evolution led to what Summa is today, a
recognized global leader in vinyl cutting and
imaging equipment for the sign, outdoor advertising
and aerospace markets.
Summa Inc. formed in January
2000 after the merger of AirMark, Inc., WestComp, Inc., and
CalComp Display Products, Inc. (formerly Summagraphics).
