Summa F1612: Compact Flatbed Cutting and Finishing for Sign & Display Production

Written by Liliana Wright | Mar 30, 2026 12:59:59 PM

Wide-format printing doesn’t always stop when the print comes off the printer. For many shops, the next steps- cutting, creasing, and finishing- are where production efficiency really matters.

At ISA Sign Expo, visitors to the LexJet booth (#1301) can see the Summa F1612 Compact Flatbed Cutter and learn how automated finishing can streamline production for signage, displays, and specialty graphics.

Designed for precision and versatility, the F1612 helps print providers move beyond manual trimming and into a faster, more consistent finishing workflow.

Compact Design with Professional Finishing Power

The Summa F1612 is the most compact model in the F Series, making it an excellent fit for shops that want professional flatbed finishing without a large production footprint.

Despite its smaller size, the system is built to handle a wide variety of materials used in sign and display production, including:

  • Foamboard

  • Cardboard and packaging materials

  • Synthetic substrates

  • Roll media

  • Technical textiles

    

A Modular System Built to Grow with Your Shop

One of the strengths of the F Series platform is its modular tooling system, which allows operators to configure the cutter with different tools depending on the job.

The multifunctional cutting head can hold multiple modules at once, enabling shops to perform tasks such as:

  • Contour cutting printed graphics

  • Creasing for packaging and display projects

  • V-cutting for rigid signage

  • Routing thicker materials

Automation That Supports Production Workflows

The F1612 is designed to reduce manual finishing work and improve workflow efficiency. Integrated features, such as barcode-driven workflows and camera-based contour recognition, help automate job setup and improve cutting accuracy.

Additional production features include:

  • Vacuum hold-down to keep materials stable during cutting.

  • Conveyor and roll support for handling flexible media.

  • Software tools designed to simplify production workflows.

Together, these capabilities help print providers produce clean, professional finished graphics while reducing operator intervention.
