Hi, I got a magazine a while ago with an order of convex I had purchased and I just looked through it the other day. I know that the only medal (chrome) colors that Gerber sells in their medal gold, blue, red, and silver. In the magazine I read that to make any color chrome they said to print...

I have a problem with printing 2 colors, mostly using the color white but as seen in the photo there are the black overlaps the white and it gives off little white lines throughout the print. If you look closely you can see the clear vinyl in the cracks of the letters so it looks like the print...

Hi, I print car window decals on oracal 651 and use Substance laminate. But, it is hard to weed and when I apply the transfer tape and take it off, the decal does not come with the tape. Any suggestions on a better laminate that will stick to the transfer tape better? Thanks

hi, I am making my first football helmet decal order and I am using convex 8 mil vinyl and 12 mil laminate, so 20 mil total. Does anyone here have experience with 20 mil to tell me their settings on their envision 375 plotter for this thick of material? And also I have a hand crank laminator...

hi, I have 2 gerber edge 2 printers, one with a bad print head that powers up perfectly, and one that has a good print head but just recently quit turning on. With the help of everyone on this site I believe it is the power supply that has gone bad in the good print head printer. The printer...

my gerber edge 2 is still not working. It will not turn on. I called gerber and they said I needed to set up an account and it needs to be activated before I talk to a technician. It has still not been activated and I need to start getting orders done ASAP. I have another gerber edge 2 that...

Hi, have just had a problem with my Gerber Edge 2. It usually takes about 5, 6, 7 seconds to boot up after I flip the power switch. But just last night I flipped the switch and nothing happened for about 5 minutes so I kept trying it. Nothing. This morning I tried it again and after about 10...

Hi, I've been looking around for new vinyl to use with my Gerber edge 2. I currently use Oracle 651 vinyl but I am getting blank spots/misprints throughout printing decals, so I am looking for new vinyl to use. Does anyone have any vinyl that they like to use? That works really well on an Edge...

Hi, I bought some convex vinyl, 8 mil with 12 mil laminate, for a football team job I have. Does anyone who does football helmets have any advice for me going into this? Anyone who uses 20 mil vinyl, do you know your plotter settings by any chance? Will a hand crank laminator work to laminate...

Hi, I have a cobalt blue foil and on both of these photos below I have printed white first and then the blue second, but there is almost an overlap of the white. Like a weird outline. This only happens when I use my blue but I use my blue a lot and it look bad. Does anyone know what the problem...

Hi all, I have a gerber Edge 2 which prints well, I really like it, but when I run prints there is usually misprints within them, where the foil doesn’t print onto the vinyl. I usually double print and it helps it a little bit but that wastes a lot of foil. How can I prevent these misprints...

hi, I attached photos to help understand but I am having trouble laminating my vinyl and keeping the laminate on straight. I see people have the laminate on top of the squeegee, like the fist picture, but I do not know how to set that up. Can anyone help or does anyone have a link to a video to...

Hi, I am not sure what happened or even what this rod like object is but when I was taking a foil out of my Gerber Edge 2 this fell out. See pictures for better explain of what happened. How do I fix this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I have been using Substance vinyl for my football helmets but I do not wish to keep heating them up while applying and I don't think my customers do too. I know there is convex, and I will probably switch to them, but what about 3m? do they have any vinyl thick enough for football helmet...

Hi, I use substance 6 mil vinyl and 15 mil over laminate and I make decals for football helmets. I tried putting some decals on a helmet, but the vinyl/laminate is too thick and doesn’t bend/form to the football helmet. It bubbles up and won’t stay to the helmet. Is there any other laminate you...
