Driver history
SummaFlex
-
Version 18.2:
- Now, this driver can automatically execute cut jobs on printed media generated with CalderaRIP. Previously, the associated barcodes were not detected due to overlapping with the origin of the registration marks. While a manual execution workaround was available, this functionality has now been integrated into the software, allowing for improved detection and efficiency.
-
Version 17.3.0
- A new "Add direction mark" checkbox was added to the Misc. area of the Cutter Tools Configuration for almost all cutting drivers (both GrandCut and VisualCut). Activating this new field adds direction marks in the form of a triangle pointing to the bottom edge of the cut job, which significantly speeds up the operators' work when managing these files.
-
Version 16.0.2
- (01/2023) It is no longer necessary to scale the marks down on the cut controllers since now they have the same size both in the print and in the cut file.
