  1. Discussion Gerber Edge models explained/differences

    Can someone explain the me the difference in the Gerber Edge FX, Edge 2, Edge 1 and Edge LE? I know the Edge 2 and FX have the same printhead, so the final product will be the same. But is this the same case throughout the entire line? Is there a big difference from the Edge 1/LE to the Edge 2...

  4. Question Roland VS-300 cut 20 mil vinyl?

    College and professional teams use ~ 20 mil decals. Convex gearwrap claims to be used by the cowboys, and you can get a 8 mil vinyl with 12 mil laminate (20 mil total) or a 4 mil vinyl and 17 mil laminate (21 mil total). I used to use convex, the stuff is top of the line but very expensive, but...

  7. Which Roland printer/cutter to purchase?

    All year long. I do them for local teams. The vinyl holds up, and the foils from my edge hold up as well to keep color. I would assume inkjet would last the 4 month season if laminated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  11. Switching from thermal to inkjet?

    I did a little research on the roland print/cut machines. They seem to be very efficient and easy to use, the 2 questions I have for you, can I use any vinyl to print and cut on the roland, and can I print, laminate, then cut on the roland?
