Speaking for myself and not for Signs 101, I don't see a problem with a choice between subscriptions and hard copy licensing. If I were new in the business or if I thought I might like to add Flexi to my software lineup, a subscription would be a great way to see if it was the right product for...

No match here.

No. You would likely break the bail that holds the roller and holds the punched vinyl on the sprocket pins as well. You will need to get a hex wrench that fits the stainless steel shoulder screw that holds the bail on either end and unscrew one or the other bails to remove it. This will allow...

What printheads does the Mutoh Prismjet Extra 38 use? Are they the same as the Mutoh Falcon Jr.? What suppliers have these available? Thanks.

Going from memory ... years before anyone had a clear transfer tape, I used to get a clear plastic film with removable adhesive in sheets from either a plastics supplier or a screen printing supplier. It worked very well as a transfer tape. It was very thin, .001" thick, and I believe it was...

Not very likely. You might want to try ordering in a roll of GSP 220 vinyl and the Gerber spot color foils to try instead of using the Avery vinyl and the ZeroNine foils. You're probably best off to order the DIY kits suggested recently. The foil clutches could well be your problem.

Gerber is now offering Do-It-Yourself kits for the Edge that include the clutches for the foil take up. See the attached PDF.

Is the roll exposed to fluorescent light? Any static film I've ever used as has a exterior life of less than a year. It turns yellow-brown and hardens up. There would be a similar but slower effect from the UV of fluorescent lights which would almost certainly affect the ability to accept a...

The clicking sound is the the foil sticking to the vinyl and the vinyl starting to come off of the sprocket pins. At this point I would suggest you consider getting your Gerber distributor involved. They often have loaner machines available and can help determine if your Edge needs a factory...

From your pictures it appears that you aren't loading the vinyl correctly. Each of the pinfeed sprockets has a section where three pins are grouped together. This is a Gerber patented "alignment" modification. The vinyl has a slot in the punched pattern to accommodate the three pins. The vinyl...

The side that it happens on is immaterial. If the sliding of the sprocket binds ... either side can jump off track. CLEAN AND LUBRICATE THE PINS. Again I ask: What brand and series of vinyl? What brand of foils? Did you try a different vinyl and foil to test the problem? How old is your Edge...

The most common cause of vinyl coming off the sprockets is mechanical binding of the sliding sprocket. There are three stainless steel pins that are barely visible on the sliding sprocket assembly. These should be cleaned with alcohol on a Cue Tip and then wiped with sewing machine oil on a Cue...

It could be the foil, the vinyl, the take up motor or clutch for the foil or a lack of maintenance of the Edge. First thing to do is to clean and lubricate the sliding bail on the Edge. This is the black sprocket wheel that slides up and down when you load the vinyl. If it doesn't move freely...

Subscriptions are on my To Do List ... just haven't decided on the structure and the prices. I lean towards the type that is more like a package rather than so many a day for however many days. In other words, the buyer purchases a subscription for 25 images at a discount for X dollars and they...
