  1. Hologram ink?? Or what?

    That's either the mirror silver or flat silver. It isn't a true "mirror" and reflects colors that can make it look holographic.
  2. Hologram ink?? Or what?

    https://www.summausa.com/downloads/pdfs/RibbonColorGuideWeb.pdf Check this out, it's Summa's ribbon color guide. Both metallic silver and "rose holographic" ribbons are available.
  3. Hologram ink?? Or what?

    There may not be any CMYK process printing there. What is pictured could be done with spot color foils on a Gerber or Summa, which would make a finished product that is that smooth.
  4. Hologram ink?? Or what?

    If it's under 12" wide that can be done on a Gerber Edge, if it's over 12" possibly a Summa DC series. Both have chrome foils that produce that look.
  5. Can't see EDGE from Omega

    If it's like Flexi, there are options to "hold in list" or "send now" when sending jobs. I have no idea if Omega has the same options, but that's normally the holdup when jobs aren't making it to the printer.
  6. Advice regarding new laminator...

    I was trying to avoid leaving a lot of material at the leading and trailing ends, because that is a lot of waste especially when dealing with gold vinyl. But after thinking about it, it really doesn't matter because I will include the extra material in the pricing. Almost everything I laminate...
  7. Advice regarding new laminator...

    I picked up a used but like new 25" US Cutter Little Lightning Lam laminator today. I got a great deal on it, and it looks to be a pretty solid machine. I played with it some today, but I am looking for any helpful tips on using it. The instructions are horrible, I already tried reading through...
  8. Gerber Edge LE and GS15 plus

    I purchased new equipment and no longer need my Edge LE and GS15 plus. They are both in great condition and were being used up until I got the new equipment last week. There are two very faint "streaks" showing up in the prints, however they aren't visible once the prints are laminated. I...
  9. Gerber Edge Pulling Vinyl

    I have had that problem with the 220 vinyl. If I'm printing more than a couple colors it will actually destroy the holes in the paper liner because they are so far off. I just figured I got a bad batch.
  10. Gerber Edge Pulling Vinyl

    Have you checked to make sure there isn't a buildup of gunk on the material feed sprockets in the Edge? Mine had a pretty bad buildup and it caused it to be out of alignment and sometimes the material would even skip off the pins. Other than that I don't know what could be the problem, I'm sure...
  11. Want opinions on banner design

    Change at least one line to Comic Sans. Possibly make another Brush Script. Then you'll have a nice banner!!!
  12. Getting the most out of an Edge 2/Envision

    Haha I know, I was just kidding about returning it. I've learned to just smile as I'm typing in my credit card number when it comes to buying many things sign related! I have a new one on the way from Graphic Marking Systems!
  13. Getting the most out of an Edge 2/Envision

    Awesome, thank you! I just spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get the eyepiece in this Envision... I did some research and realized that I have the wrong eyepiece! The guy I bought it from was apparently given an eyepiece for a GS15 when he bought the setup new and somehow never...
  14. Getting the most out of an Edge 2/Envision

    They are low mileage units for sure. Bought new and used for one big job and then put in storage for 6 years. The icing on the cake was the price... I got an extremely good deal! I will play with the settings in Flexi and see what I can come up with. I am trying to find a copy of Omega for a...
  15. Block Shadow/ Design Help

    Just a word of caution, make sure the dealer and the customer are both aware that the Sign Gold will not match the rest of the graphics on the truck. It sticks out like a sore thumb when put next to real gold. If they still insist on going that route, then go for it. If not, there are some other...
  16. Getting the most out of an Edge 2/Envision

    Pictures of the prints: 300x300 is on the left, 300x600 is on the right. It also printed darker and with more of an orange tint, is there any way to adjust the process prints to correct the colors?
  17. Getting the most out of an Edge 2/Envision

    I found an awesome deal on an Edge 2 with an Envision plotter so I picked them up to replace my Edge LE/GS15 Plus. The Edge only has around 1,000 print minutes on it and both machines look brand new. I got the printer set up this morning and have been running some test prints. The first thing I...
  18. Block Shadow/ Design Help

    As mentioned above, this is some of Pierce's in house graphics work. You say you are duplicating this... this is not Sign Gold or "Real Gold" brand 22 kt. vinyl. This is real 23 kt. hand laid gold encapsulated in vinyl. The shadow was either built from scratch in Omega and printed using a Gerber...
  19. Need a font I.D.

    I have no match for that.
