  2. SignLab - Issues when saving as PDF for use in Illustrator

    Here's the landscape: I have never used SignLab, or even seen it. I am familiar with Gerber Omega and Illustrator, and I use Roland/Versaworks to print. My friend uses SignLab, and often sends me files to print for him. I always have to open them in illustrator to adjust colors as needed, add...
  3. Compatibility of Windows 10 with Gerber USB to Serial/Parallel

    We currently have a PC with Windows 7, running Gerber Omega 4.0. It outputs to an HS15+, an EDGE (LE), and a 48" Odyssey.

    I am looking for recommendations on a supplier that offers decals that include a color that is glow in the dark.

  8. Questions about Phototex, non-typical use

    I want to make some lettering for a large crane that is a rental unit. The main letters are around 12 - 15" tall, White with a heavy black outline. We usually use 180c/8518 for them, but since this is a rental, they want to be able to remove the vinyl rather easily when the project is...

  11. Looking for a vendor or merchant member - polytone signs?

    I have a client looking a a quote for exterior signs made from "polytone", which I believe is the 2 color plastic (polyethylene?) that is usually routed out, and is very long lasting, somewhere around 1/2" to 3/4" thick maybe? I have seen this product around, but never had a call for it yet...
  12. Thanks Fred

    I just wanted to thank Fred Weiss for his tireless work in maintaining and moderating this forum. I certainly wouldn't have the patience to deal with technical issues and add new features, then come in and keep an eye on all the egos and attitudes. Oh and run 2 other businesses as well...
  13. 14ft circular sign

    Considering taking on a job to make & install a 14' circular sign. Single faced, installed to an outside wall, likely corrugated metal siding. I can just simply piece it out of some form of polymetal, but is there a better "out of the box" method any of you would consider? Thanks!

    Thanks for your always steller service! The job that you turned around in 4 hours today made us look like heroes to the client and I was able to work on other stuff all day instead. We may not be your biggest customer but I really appreciate the time that is saved and the quality of the...
  18. Cast Laminate - FDC 7000 Matte

    Has anyone else tried this laminate? If so, any opinions? We usually use 3M 8520, but my vendor was out and this was a little better on price. Also, I know most all of FDC's products are rebranded... does anyone happen to know who manufactures this particular product? :thankyou:

  20. Gerber Edge parts list?

    Is there a parts list available for ordering parts from Gerber? I think we have the LE (off-white one). Long story short is that I think that the parallel port card on the Edge has gone bad and I would like to try to replace it. When the machine is turned on and fully connected, all that...
