  1. Fred Weiss - Where are you.......?

    Fred, good information on adjusting the Z axis. I was trying to do the same thing with my Edge/GS15plus. I came to the conclusion that the plotter just wouldn't raise the blade back up all the way. I figured it was a flaw of the plotter. I'm going to give it a try myself. Thinking it was a...
  2. Converting files from Gerber to flexi?

    I haven't had much luck either. frustrating. It's the gradients that really get messed up.
  3. Omega 3.0

    Is there any support for large format printers? I have a JV3 and an Edge for printing. I have a GS15plus, a Summa D620, and a Graphtec FC8000 for plotters. I use no less than 4 programs just to get things done operating all of my equipment. I can't use the full functionality of my Summa and...
  4. Thinking of purchasing FC8000-160

    Okay...I went ahead and bought it on Friday. Brought it the shop and set it up. The pinch rollers were set in the higher pressure setting and sitting on the grippers. So...there are flat spots on all of the pinch rollers. Will that smooth out, or am I going to have to warranty them? Also...
  5. Where are those hinges

    Thanks for the part number. I bought two from Gerber maybe 18 months ago and one has already blown out. When I found out that it was just a regular car part...I feel like Gerber ripped me off big time. I also purchase the ground strap direct from Gerber and felt really cheated on that one...
  6. Thinking of purchasing FC8000-160

    What do you guys think of this machine? Does anyone have one? I currently have a Gerber HS15Plus - 15" sprocket fed and a Summa D620 - 24" friction fed. I have not been able to successfully cut convex 12mil laminate with either of the two and was thinking of getting another plotter to handle...
  7. How many people work at your business?

    2 FT...including me.
  8. Edge print width- can it be pushed?

    Just so happens, I'm gonna start doing MX decals this week!!! I did lots of sportbike and motorcycle decals in the past with my Edge and didn't ever really run into problems with opacity. Now, I never got into MX stuff because of the thick overlaminates. I ordered some 7mil today, but I'm...
  9. computer running slow

    I don't know why you can't run your Omega on XP. I did without any problems. I have since updated Omega and my PC. I currently run Omega 2.51 on XP SP3 and on Vista 64bit, however, there are no drivers for the Edge or HS/GS plotters on Vista, so it's just a design station. I experience the...
  10. Need some Edge labels

    Don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but...How do you like the Edge FX? I have a second gen edge and I've been thinking of buying the new one. Did you have another Edge before the FX? pros/cons...

    Welcome to the forums! How I miss Charleston....Served in the Navy there 15 years ago.
  12. Need 1 DTG Done and need recommendation on a shop

    I'm just an observer and don't know anyone personally on this forum. The way I read everything, I don't think Sign&Frame got an attitude until AirArtGirl started using profanity. I probably would have responded in the same fashion. Using curse words in any circumstance is not professional and...
  13. Hooked up w/ a Photographer...NOW WHAT!

    What media are you using for the "Fathead" prints?
  14. New Product. Seen this? Lighted Vinyl!

    Any pictures yet LightHouse? I think we are all very curious...
  15. What's Omega 2.0 CP Worth?

    I think $700 would be very reasonable. Especially for someone that doesn't have any sign software, or something really cheezy.
  16. back lit sign construction

    That is strange. I'm sure you already tried, but is it possible that there is some sort of sealant holding the edge from coming off after you removed the screws. I've taken some sign faces out that had a really nice rubber compression gasket and I had the same type of feeling. The sign would...
  17. back lit sign construction

    I've seen some where only the top retainer comes off.
  18. How much are you paying for you liter ink?

    I pay $125/liter for Triangle ink through Graphic Solutions Group.
  19. Why Thermal?

    I started with a Gerber Edge and will say that I still love the machine after 10 years. I have printed hundreds of thousands of decals, thousands of vehicle graphics, and even wrapped a few trailers and vehicles. No lamination necessary. I have stuff out there that is 8 years old and still...
  20. Windows Vista

    Same Problem I feel everyone's pain. I spent a year testing Vista with another machine that was not in my production flow. After many months of waiting for all necessary drivers (for my equipment) and patches (for software), I finally built another machine to use as a workstation. It worked...
