  10. Flexi, Gerber Edge, Compound white underbase??

    Hi there, I have just spent a whole day trying to get flexi and gerber edge 1 to do something I would have thought should be easy, but it's getting very frustrating. I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this but I can't work it out: I need to make decals, printed CMYK onto silver vinyl...
