Wasatch SoftRIP and the Summa S3 T Series Cutter
Precision for DTF, Labels, and Beyond
Wasatch SoftRIP has expanded its device support to include the Summa S3 T Series Cutter. The S3 T Series is a high-performance, versatile workhorse capable of addressing the full spectrum of modern print-and-cut needs, from intricate labels and stickers to the Direct-to-Film (DTF) market..
The S3 T Series features Summa’s flagship Performance Cutting Head with True Tangential Technology. Unlike standard cutters, this motorized system actively steers the blade, providing unmatched accuracy for small text and complex geometries. This makes it an ideal solution for label-cutting professionals and shops producing high-quality stickers where sharp corners and immaculate detail are a requirement.
Optimized for DTF and Specialty Media
Efficiency is at the core of this new support, enabling a streamlined "pop-out" technique for gang sheets. By creating cut paths with thin, structural tabs, the finished film acts as a punch-out sheet, drastically reducing post-processing time.
For those utilizing DTF workflows, the S3 T Series addresses the unique challenges of fragile DTF film. By utilizing a frictionless roll feed and cutting with the inked side facing the knife, the system eliminates the scratches and roller marks often seen with traditional transport methods. SoftRIP’s robust driver support ensures the integrated OPOS camera accurately recognizes registration marks even on the most challenging translucent or reflective media.
Full-Roll Automation and Efficiency
For high-volume production, this solution supports a barcode-driven workflow. When used in conjunction with automated barcode recognition, SoftRIP and the S3 T Series can process an entire roll of jobs from start to finish without manual intervention. This allows for unattended, overnight cutting that keeps production moving 24/7.
