At Fespa 2025 in Berlin in May, Summa will be exhibiting for the first time the F1625, the latest addition to its versatile range of digital flatbed printers for display, signage and packaging. With a working surface of 160 x 250 cm, this model is designed to handle both rigid and flexible substrates such as vinyl, PVC, acrylic, foam board and Dibond. This hybrid cutting table is ideal for printers and converters with mixed workflows, without the need for automated feeding systems.
A two-year return on investment
This sixth format, an intermediate format, can handle standard plates without the need for additional feeding systems, while maintaining a compact footprint.
According to Summa, the F1625, which is designed to offer a productive solution in a limited space, could achieve a return on investment of between 24 and 36 months. This estimate is based in particular on the machine's ability to access new, higher-margin services, such as cutting printed rigid panels or packaging prototypes.
"The F1625 and its compact tabletop were the missing link in our range for signage, display and packaging, says Geert Pierloot, Summa's Managing Director. With the F1625, we're responding perfectly to this demand by offering a format that offers the perfect balance between space and productivity."
The F1625 table, a compact model with similar automation to the other models
Like the other models in the range, the F1625 is based on a modular architecture. This table can accommodate several active modules simultaneously, with interchangeable tools dedicated to half-face cutting, creasing, milling or oscillating cutting. Users can thus configure their machine according to the type of job in hand, whether in signage, packaging or POP.
Control is based on GoProduce, the cutting software developed by Summa. It recognizes print marks, automatically detects tools and organizes jobs via barcode. The system minimizes set-up errors and optimizes the transition from one job to the next.
The new table features the tandem mode already present on other F-series models. This system divides the work area in two, allowing loading and unloading while the machine is in operation.
