Summa DC3 is the first wide format thermal transfer printer to combine low-cost operation with totally integrated print and cut operation. Using durable resin ribbons, Summa DC3 is able to print on standard uncoated vinyls to produce outdoor durable images that are guaranteed to last three to five years without lamination.* And by simply adding a cut line to their graphic files, Summa DC3 customers can produce printed and contour cut graphics and labels automatically. The result is a labor saving solution that is capable of producing finished images that are ready to install in a single, automated process. And by eliminating the need for specialty coated vinyls and expensive over-laminates, Summa DC3 has a finished cost of goods that is often below that of other outdoor print-and-cut technologies.
