  3. Starving for data

    Soi ran a 13' four color set of decals the other day.. By the 3rd color the Edge2 began starving for data, I figured by the 4th color I'd be in trouble so I hit reset and resent the job only this time sent the last color only. It worked fine but was a pain. What can we do to ensure the machine...
  4. Edge2 pauses during print, foil keeps spooling

    Lately my Edge2 is acting up (last months more so) . Today I sent a job with 48" stripes to it with a total run of 16', it runs fine but then after the first 48" or so the material pauses.. But the foil keeps spooling.. Then the machine resumes printing. The odd thing is it does this at...

  9. Oracal 751

    Not wanting to mix up topics even though they are related. When I print in Oracal 751 (651 never is a problem) I always get fish eyes in my prints. What cast DO YOU recommend and have had good luck with?
  10. Cast or Calendered?

    The age old question.. I recently lettered a white semi using a Gerber CMYK print. I used Oracal 651 calendered and laminated with Oracal 210g . Should I have used Cast material (also laminated with cast) The laminate gives it +2 years uv protection. I have another truck to do this weekend that...

  12. Slow Omega

    Not if this is a software or pc issue. But when I have many objects in Composer then depress f8 to check the color assignment it takes for ever to go from wireframe to color... Is this the nature of the beast? Is there a setting I can change ? Am I just dumb? Thanks in advance!

  14. What do you get for a 3x4 CMYK print?

  15. Omega 4.0 , are you?

    Well I bit the bullet.. I know squat In omega 3.0 but I seen some neat features in 4.0 so I figured, why not? $345 is a bit steep since last year I went from 2.6-3.0.... If I only knew what I was doing and how to do it would I be Rollin!..... So who else is getting 4.0?
  16. CMYK printing

    For the last year that I have had my Edge I have only printed using Spot colors.. The other day I broke down and bought Bergen designs custom fillls to try my luck at printing some cool stuff.

  19. White foils

    What foil has a thicker printed profile?.. meaning if you could see a cross cut of the printed image would Duracoat Opaque white be thicker than Gerber White? The issue I'm having is when overprinting (extending a color past the edge of the white) the white shows through the the overprinted...
