Hey all, I am currently looking at purchasing another envision 375 and edge. The seller has all the power cords and everything for the equipment, just no software. My question to you all is, when I go out to look at the equipment I want to test it to make sure it is working properly, can I take...

Hey all, I have an Edge 2 and Envision 375 and do not have a yearly serviced plan with GMS. I am looking for another printer and plotter to expand my business (if anyone is selling or know someone who is selling please message me!), but I have yet to find new equipment so I started looking into...

Would make sense. I was printing in 600x300

Hi all, I am having some issues printing my silver medal 2. There seems to be striations when I print and I am unsure why (see pictures below). When it is printing the edge 2 which I print on seems to be almost "chugging/chopping" and then these striation marks is the output. This only happens...

Hey guys, quick question regarding Gerber Medal foil series. Is there a difference between regular silver medal and silver medal 2 foil? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is laminated. And where that could be the problem, I have been laminating the same way for years with the same material. I’ll have to try without laminating and see if it is any better. I also think getting new blades will help with sharper cuts too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey everyone, I have been noticing with my envision 375 that when I cut circles, the cut comes out more as an ellipse share rather than circle. In the omega software I have the cut dimensions of the circle as 1.5” x 1.5” but as you can see from the picture, it isn’t a perfect circle. I have...

Hey guys, I am making a set of Mississippi State football helmet decals for a customer and the burgundy color I just purchased is not as dark as I would like and not dark enough to send out to him. (See pictures to see color difference between mine and the authentic decals). My question is, what...

HAs anybody used a vectorize my image website before and if so, how accurate are they? I usually trace my images in AI, but I am wanting to do a memorial to the Marshall Thundering Herd team that died in a plan crash in 1970. This was their logo at the time and it will just take too much time...

Looking to replicate the following Kansas state decals and cannot find an exact match for these numbers. I cannot for the life of me get an exact match of the number 1. Any of you know the exact font or something really close to it? Anything helps! For some reason I struggle to find block...

I know gerber used to sell a matte clear foil, but I now can’t find it anywhere being sold. Did gerber change the name of the matte foil or quit making it all together? If they quit making it, what is the best way to go about matte decals? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The edge FX has the capability to print 1200x300 DPI where as the edge can only go up to 600x300 DPI. I do however remember seeing an old post the other day in which Fred said there is no difference in the edge 2 and FX printhead. The FX has more bells and whistles, but what comes out of the...

Majority of my clients are repeat buyers, but to be totally honest, I use around 8 different foils alone (white, black, ruby red, cobalt blue, silver medal, and a few others on occasion). I do not think I have ever used any of my process colors other than to get a warmup strip from them. I guess...

Hey guys, If you haven't been following me the last few days I have been looking at upgrading from my Edge 2 to an FX. I got the deal done, which included basically his entire sign shop (FX, Envision 375, software, foils, vinyl, etc.). Now with a whole new setup, I am really not in need of my...

I think I’m going to trust you on this one. The seller bought it brand new from GMS and hasn’t used it much. Also willing to take it to GMS and have them ship it to me. Might have them to do a service on it while GMS has it there. Seems like the stars are aligning on this one. Also the newer...

The only reason for the upgrade is my edge 2 has 70k minutes on it. It’s getting spotty on the printhead and it’s time to get a new printer. I just figured, if I’m getting a new machine, might as well get the one which has been serviced by GMS, and is 10+ years newer. I did not know that the...

I currently run an Edge 2 with an Envision 375. Both however, are very old. Work great, but I think it’s time to upgrade, especially with the news of Gerber stopping manufacturing. I mainly work with football helmet decals using convex, and I would like to switch to inkjet (possibly an HP latex...

Hey Fred, appreciate the response! I currently have an Edge 2 and looking to get something newer/with less print minutes. Would you spend 5k on another edge 2 (and envision plus a ton of foils), or would you spend 8k on an FX ( with an envision and a ton of foils)? I would prefer an FX of...

I currently have an Edge 2 and looking to get something newer/with less print minutes. Would you spend 5k on another edge 2 (and envision plus a ton of foils), or would you spend 8k on an FX ( with an envision and a ton of foils)? I would prefer an FX of course, but I do not know if it is worth...
