Drag or tangential
Drag knife cutters for everyday vinyl and laminated media; tangential cutters for thicker materials and tighter corners.
Summa S Series · UK Sales and Service Partner
Summa S Series roll cutters
Roll-fed cutting and accurate contour finishing for vinyl, printed graphics, labels and film.
The S1 and S3 Series, from dependable drag cutting to tangential cutting with camera recognition.
What it is for
Roll stock, cut to the contour.
Most print and cut work arrives on a roll. The S Series cuts it accurately around every contour, and sits naturally alongside a wide-format printer.
Contour accuracy
Registration to the printed image, so the cut follows the print across the length of the job.
Camera recognition
On the S3 TC, optical recognition finds the media and sequences jobs automatically.
GoSign software
Cuts direct from Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW, with material profiles, action sets and a job log.
Summa's own film. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play. Watch it on YouTube instead if you prefer.

Two series, four versions.
The S1 Series cuts with a drag knife. The S3 Series comes in drag (D), tangential (T) and tangential with camera (TC) versions. The number is the width class.

Three that change what the machine does.
Worth deciding at the point of order rather than later, because two of them change how the work reaches the cutter.
Tray One sheet feederFeeds cut sheets rather than roll stock, so an S1 handles sheet work without a second machine.
DTF bundle on the S3 75Summa’s direct-to-film package, for transfer work where the cut has to follow a printed film accurately.
GoSign Pro PackA one-off purchase adding barcode automation, hot folder handling, twin workflow and plot file import.
