Summa S3T120: Tangential Control for 48-Inch Production

True tangential cutting for mid-format signage, laminated graphics, stencil films, PPF and detail-critical production.

The Summa S3T120 brings true tangential cutting into the 48-inch production lane, giving sign and print shops more blade control on materials and designs that can challenge conventional drag-knife movement.

With a maximum media width of 127 cm / 50 inches, up to 1 kg of cutting force, 1.2 mm maximum cutting thickness, OPOS registration, OPOS XY compensation, and USB, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, the S3T120 is built for laminated prints, detailed logos, stencil films, PPF, small lettering and general mid-format specialty work.

For shops running 48-inch printer lanes, the S3T120 balances production width with predictable tangential precision without forcing a move to a larger finishing footprint.
