Does anyone have some images of how bright the orange and red can be off the CJV 300? Been trying to get good samples from Mimaki and they just print the generic color swatch.

Anyone have photos of the metallic coming off these? Considering the machine but have yet to see the metallic.

Recently I had a new Ford F 150 come into the shop and had a rough time getting the 3M 1080 to lay cleanly on the roof. We usually start from the back and work forward but it seems we need to work from the middle out to the side so the vinly will tuck into the ridges and not have to be stretched...

Update: Gerber says the CPU is bad/ going out and is $3000 to replace. THinking I trade in for the FX.

So my Edge 2 is acting up. It keeps freezing/ Giving me Data Error 3 after each color. So I'm having to run one color, then restart the job and run the next. This is very frustrating. I've searched for a list of things to try and here is what I've done so far with no success in fixing the issue...

I have the same issue and have swapped blade holders. Any other things I can try?

I believe there is a dual pass setting. It lays down alot of ink so you'll want to let the ink dry extra before handling it

The Summa seems like a good fit but the lack of information about them scares me a bit. Anyone have experience with them? How is there cutting thick material?

I've been doing research now for a few months on what machine upgrade we should do here at the shop. We mainly print motocross decal kits and have been using a Gerber Edge (we have had two die on us and are kind of over the edge) and have been out sourcing our larger stuff. There are three...

Anyone using a Summa DC 4SX for printing motocross decals? We have a gerber edge we have been using but it seems the extra width from the Summa would be very helpful but wanted to hear from users.

We do a bunch of helmet wraps and use Substance 6mil gloss vinyl combined with there 10 mil ultra curve laminate. They turn out great and hold up really well. However we do them as model specific kits.

After speaking with Gerber and doing some alignment tests, they said I have something else going. So I found another Edge 2 that had a bad power supply and swapped the power supply and got it printing. However I'm getting some issues with the image printing. Looks like the bottom .25" of the job...

Anyone seen this? Tech Support says that it is uneven pressure on the contact area and told me to loosen up a few bolts and shut the printer a few times "aggressively".

Kind of off topic but do you have to use the Gerber LTSeries foils with the Colorprint media?

Well our Gerber Edge gave up the ghost and blew a pixel. Gerber said due to its age its UN-repairable. This leaves us with a mountain of Gerber foils and media but since I've been wanting to upgrade to large format feel it might be the right time to get a Roland VS series machine rather than buy...
