Hi Everybody, my bulletproof Gerber Edge FX has finally hit a snag. When I go to print a job, it lowers the cartridge and advances the foil but doesn't printing anything. After a few seconds it raises the cartridge and gives me a cartridge error. It was happening now and again but now it seems...

On my FB500 colors can also be "dull" looking. I'm not sure if it's the fact that it's a 6 color printer or what. I've taken to exporting my files as RGB jpegs for printing, and that seems to get me brighter colors than using CMYK files.

I guess you could get the printer's serial # and call HP. If the company you are buying it from already had a service plan, maybe you can continue it? Sorry I can't be of more help.

You might want to look into the printer's eligibility for a service contract. It might seem like a lot of money but when something goes down it will most likely pay for itself.

I've never tried but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Just plug another one in and see if you can add it as a new vinyl printer. If you are planning on buying one, I would call Gerber and verify first.

We have a 50" too and I think it's great. My employees, on the other hand, hate it. They prefer wet apply. Go figure.

Thank you! I actually unchecked that half a dozen times and it never worked before. I think I was hitting "Save All Pages" thinking it would do the trick, guess not.

I am running Omega Composer 5.0.0.1369. They have turned on "Show Smooth Drawing" by default and I'm getting tired of unselecting it every single time. It makes everything on the screen look awful and when I generate a PDF proof they are like 60 megs and look horrible. Any ideas on how to set it...

I have an HP FB500 that is out of warranty and has a problem that has stopped it from functioning. I'm trying to find out with HP will sell me a support contract. But in the meantime I wanted to see if there are any other companies out there that offer support contracts for this particular...

Glad to see so many PG Tips fans here! I usually make a coffee in the AM to put in my to-go tumbler. I'll have another cup during the day sometimes but mostly drink water. When I get home from work I have a cup of PG Tips with milk and agave and usually a fine northwest microbrew later in the...

I have a customer who I did some prints for that were laminated with a dry erase laminate. I subbed out the lamination work so I am not sure what exact brand was used. They are using Expo Dry Erase laminate cleaning spray and some of the colored text is not coming off as it should. Is there...

We got a Summa S140D in November. I love it, best plotter I have owned. Super fast and tracks great for the most part.

This entire thread is insane. Get a price from Stouse, double or triple it, give the price to customer. Maybe they will take it, maybe not. If they take it great, if not MOVE ON. I had a similar project for a quantity of 30 only, I bid the job but apparently the customer was getting them...

Bad disc?

OP might not want to be restricted by iOS and a 4" screen.

I used to use Walmart religiously for oil changes until they left the oil cap off one time. I had drove 30 miles and started to smell something burning and see smoke coming out of the hood. I pulled over and imagine my surprise to see the oil cap sitting in the engine compartment, not where...

I wonder if you could add another serial port to the computer hooked up to your router so you could permanently plug in the HS15. Then cut to it as a remote plotter from your main work station with 5.0 (assuming they are networked). I think I did that from 5.0 to 2.1 for a few weeks without any...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Except you jikard, I don't want to think about getting a new IO board! I think I'll power it down and try to un-plug and re-plug the purple cable like sfd122 suggested. I want to say that this all started AFTER I installed a software update, so maybe it didn't...

I have an FB500 and I am getting the following error: E-GN-3, "Image Sensor Failed to Initialize". The printer is usable, I am just unable to us the built in measuring system -- I have to manually do it. I have restarted the printer 3 times and it is still showing up as disabled. Has anyone...

2.1 works on XP. I am using it now. I don't 100% understand what the Gerber explanation means, but have you tried copying the disc to a USB drive and installing from that? Or maybe copying all the files from the disc to the hard drive and installing that way? At least you can find out if it...
