Digital cutting specialist Summa has introduced a dedicated vinyl cutter solution for direct to film (DTF) applications: the S Class 3-DTF Bundle.
Computaleta supplies Summa solutions to the New Zealand market.
Summa says that DTF printing is transforming the textile embellishment industry, offering a seamless solution for custom fabrics like shirts, pillows, and bags. However, cutting DTF proves a challenge, and often requires specialised equipment.
The company’s S Class 3-DTF Bundle, a vinyl cutter setup engineered specifically for DTF applications, includes the S3 TC75 vinyl cutter equipped with a frictionless roll feed; a roll-up system; and the advanced GoSign Pro Pack. Targeted to meet the specific challenges of cutting PET film, this bundle combines advanced technology and unmatched precision, setting a new standard for the DTF workflow, according to Summa.
The company says it has designed the new solution to prevent the scratches or roller marks that typically occur when transporting PET film. It includes a frictionless roll feed to level up the DTF print and cut workflow. The dedicated DTF bundle also features Summa’s proprietary tangential cutting technology, camera technology and the GoSign production software.
Randi Kerkaert, product manager at Summa, says, “We designed the S Class 3-DTF Bundle with the needs of DTF users in mind. From the frictionless roll feed to the tangential cutting technology, Summa has tailored every part in this bundle to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and reliability.
“It is the ultimate solution for anyone working with PET film in DTF applications. Cutting DTF film requires flawless precision, low friction as to not damage the print, and ultimate reliability. Summa has curated the S Class 3-DTF Bundle to meet these requirements, offering an optimal solution for DTF materials.”
Summa lists the S Class 3-DTF Bundle’s features:
- The S3 TC75 vinyl cutter: Features the performance cutting head equipped with tangential cutting technology, the preferred choice for cutting PET film, as it is fast and incredibly precise.
- Frictionless roll feed: Prevents damage during the cutting process by minimising friction, it avoids contact between the media and the rolls.

Stijn Henderickx, chief executive officer at Summa, says, “The S Class 3-DTF Bundle reflects our commitment to precision and performance, bridging the gap between the sign & display and textile markets. This bundle is an ideal solution for DTF professionals looking to optimise their workflows and deliver unmatched quality.”
