It is laminated. And where that could be the problem, I have been laminating the same way for years with the same material. I’ll have to try without laminating and see if it is any better. I also think getting new blades will help with sharper cuts too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey everyone, I have been noticing with my envision 375 that when I cut circles, the cut comes out more as an ellipse share rather than circle. In the omega software I have the cut dimensions of the circle as 1.5” x 1.5” but as you can see from the picture, it isn’t a perfect circle. I have...

Hey guys, I am making a set of Mississippi State football helmet decals for a customer and the burgundy color I just purchased is not as dark as I would like and not dark enough to send out to him. (See pictures to see color difference between mine and the authentic decals). My question is, what...

HAs anybody used a vectorize my image website before and if so, how accurate are they? I usually trace my images in AI, but I am wanting to do a memorial to the Marshall Thundering Herd team that died in a plan crash in 1970. This was their logo at the time and it will just take too much time...

Looking to replicate the following Kansas state decals and cannot find an exact match for these numbers. I cannot for the life of me get an exact match of the number 1. Any of you know the exact font or something really close to it? Anything helps! For some reason I struggle to find block...

I know gerber used to sell a matte clear foil, but I now can’t find it anywhere being sold. Did gerber change the name of the matte foil or quit making it all together? If they quit making it, what is the best way to go about matte decals? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The edge FX has the capability to print 1200x300 DPI where as the edge can only go up to 600x300 DPI. I do however remember seeing an old post the other day in which Fred said there is no difference in the edge 2 and FX printhead. The FX has more bells and whistles, but what comes out of the...

Majority of my clients are repeat buyers, but to be totally honest, I use around 8 different foils alone (white, black, ruby red, cobalt blue, silver medal, and a few others on occasion). I do not think I have ever used any of my process colors other than to get a warmup strip from them. I guess...

Hey guys, If you haven't been following me the last few days I have been looking at upgrading from my Edge 2 to an FX. I got the deal done, which included basically his entire sign shop (FX, Envision 375, software, foils, vinyl, etc.). Now with a whole new setup, I am really not in need of my...

I think I’m going to trust you on this one. The seller bought it brand new from GMS and hasn’t used it much. Also willing to take it to GMS and have them ship it to me. Might have them to do a service on it while GMS has it there. Seems like the stars are aligning on this one. Also the newer...

The only reason for the upgrade is my edge 2 has 70k minutes on it. It’s getting spotty on the printhead and it’s time to get a new printer. I just figured, if I’m getting a new machine, might as well get the one which has been serviced by GMS, and is 10+ years newer. I did not know that the...

I currently run an Edge 2 with an Envision 375. Both however, are very old. Work great, but I think it’s time to upgrade, especially with the news of Gerber stopping manufacturing. I mainly work with football helmet decals using convex, and I would like to switch to inkjet (possibly an HP latex...

Hey Fred, appreciate the response! I currently have an Edge 2 and looking to get something newer/with less print minutes. Would you spend 5k on another edge 2 (and envision plus a ton of foils), or would you spend 8k on an FX ( with an envision and a ton of foils)? I would prefer an FX of...

I currently have an Edge 2 and looking to get something newer/with less print minutes. Would you spend 5k on another edge 2 (and envision plus a ton of foils), or would you spend 8k on an FX ( with an envision and a ton of foils)? I would prefer an FX of course, but I do not know if it is worth...

Can someone explain the me the difference in the Gerber Edge FX, Edge 2, Edge 1 and Edge LE? I know the Edge 2 and FX have the same printhead, so the final product will be the same. But is this the same case throughout the entire line? Is there a big difference from the Edge 1/LE to the Edge 2...

Would also consider a well maintained edge 2 instead of an FX! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, I thought I should look to upgrade from my edge 2 and old envision 375 to something more up to date and newer. I have about 70k printhead minutes on my edge 2 and don’t want to blow a pixel or something and then have no backup plan. With my business getting bigger I would like to have...

College and professional teams use ~ 20 mil decals. Convex gearwrap claims to be used by the cowboys, and you can get a 8 mil vinyl with 12 mil laminate (20 mil total) or a 4 mil vinyl and 17 mil laminate (21 mil total). I used to use convex, the stuff is top of the line but very expensive, but...

Looking to get a Roland VS-300 print/cut to expland my business. My bread and butter and most of my jobs are football helmet decals, so I mostly work with cutting 20/21 mil vinyl. I have heard some people haven't been able to cut 20 mil vinyl with their Graphtecs and Summas, so I was wondering...
