  1. Best settings for printing a gradient on the Edge?

    I have an Edge LE and the latest FlexiPro. I am needing to print 4' long by 6" tall stripes on Oracal 5600 reflective. The gradient is light grey to dark grey. I haven't found a setting yet that doesn't have bad banding. It is currently set to angled screen and double dot with super gradient...
  2. Custom Vinyl Release Liner / Swapping Release Liner

    Graphic Marking Systems sent out an email a while back advertising a new foil for the Gerber Edge that was specifically designed to print on the backing paper. But that would only be useful for you if you can use 15" vinyl.
  3. Solvent Cleaner Solution

    I got it from Sherwin Williams. They didn't know what I was talking about when I called and asked for it but after being put on hold for a while they figured it out. It had to be shipped to me, the Charlotte NC industrial store doesn't carry it.
  4. Flexi Cloud/Gerber Edge

    I just upgraded to the new Flexi Cloud (I bought the full version, not the monthly deal). I can only seem to find one profile for my Gerber Edge.. Custom Media 300? There should be more than that? Also, should I run my Edge LE as an "Edge" or "Edge2" when I'm adding the setup in production...
  5. Manufacturer Refurbished Printhead?

    Is there such thing as a manufacturer refurbished printhead? I found one on eBay for a decent price, and the seller has a great feedback rating. Ive just never heard of Epson selling refurbished printheads...
  6. The Dinosaur is earning its keep...

    You are right, they definitely have their place. I will never be able to do without an Edge in my shop, or at least some form of thermal printer. I use it for pretty much anything that involves any type of gold or silver leaf lettering, which is a good bit of what I do. But I would like to...
  7. The Dinosaur is earning its keep...

    They say my old Edge is a dinosaur, and that's probably an accurate statement. But when it's the only printer you have you learn to love it... except for the 10 hour days spent standing beside it swapping colors. Hopefully by the end of the day today I will have printed, laminated and cut at...
  8. Half Block Font

    The graphics on this truck were designed by me, but when the apparatus manufacturer did the lettering they substituted some of their proprietary fonts in. The "ENGINE" was LHF Antique Half Block in my original designs. Now I have to re-letter some other trucks to match this one, and I need to...
  9. Band Poster

    Awesome work! Was this all done in CorelDraw?
  10. Mutoh Falcon Outdoor JR Charlotte, NC

    The printer is back together and everything is working 100% with the exception of the color head. The brand new color head I purchased was faulty and has missing nozzles. Other than that, it is good to go. I need this thing gone, I will entertain any reasonable offers.
  11. Looking for a vinyl with really agressive adhesive

    If you are printing on it maybe try some of the Convex vinyl? I have some here in the shop, it is definitely very sticky and seems to be pretty durable.
  12. Gerber Edge FX vs Summa DC5sx

    Yeah but I said a 30" machine that worked as good as the Edge! From what I've heard the Maxx was a disaster haha
  13. Gerber Edge FX vs Summa DC5sx

    The Edge printers are tanks. Like you say, they can be quirky from time to time but all in all they just work. That is the biggest issue for me, I would expect the same reliability and quality from a summa and I don't know that it would live up to those expectations. I just wish Gerber would...
  14. Gerber Edge FX vs Summa DC5sx

    I did a lot of research on the Summa printers. I currently run an Edge LE which I love, it just doesn't print wide enough for everything I do. There were two main drawbacks that kept me from buying a Summa, or at least buying a new one. The first is banding in the prints. All the samples I...
  15. Edge printing Oralite 5650RA?

    Unfortunately I don't think it will work for me. After looking around and finding a technical data sheet on it from Orafol, they do not list thermal as an approved printing process for this material. I guess that's one more reason I need a new latex printer!
  16. Gerber GS15 Plus drum movement

    I noticed my GS15 Plus wasn't contour cutting accurately and after a quick inspection I found the drum has a little over 1/32" play from side to side. Is there any way to adjust this to keep it from moving side to side?
  17. Can't Find It Script

    Machine Script is the closest thing I could come up with.
  18. Edge printing Oralite 5650RA?

    Anyone??? I would like to hear from anyone that uses this reflective even if they don't print on it with an Edge. How much easier is it to install? Would you recommend it over the standard Oralite reflective?
  19. What the #×%+@ did they do to Sign Gold?

    That is odd... I buy a lot of Real Gold and it has always had a plastic liner. But then again I only buy the thermal printable version.
  20. What the #×%+@ did they do to Sign Gold?

    I use the "Real Gold" brand. The guy that started Sign Gold left and started this new company. Everything I have gotten from them has been top notch. They are constantly coming out with new patterns and materials which is nice too.
