Just to follow up for everyone's future help.. the problem is intermittent, but gerber tech support was great and talked me through the diagnostics to determine I have an opto for the down position of the foil head going flaky. So, it's just a 4.00 part that will hopefully have me back where I...

Hi, not sure anyone really reads this forum anymore but i've experienced this error :( The error is related to the loading of the foil I think, the motor sound it used to make as it would set the foil doesn't really happen, the cartridge lowers and makes a popping sound as something lets loose...

Looking for who can help me out, this was SUPPOSED to be a 2 color silkscreen poster but the printer couldn't come through. Looking for either a digital 18x24 print or someone to pick up the silkscreen job, preferably local to florida if possible. The artwork is set up for digital or...

Shouldn't jump to such fast conclusions and make accusations, it's not anyone here's job to publicly police things like this unless you are absolutely positive what you are stating is true. Now you know the person did purchase the fonts, but really that's nobody's business but his and now...

Adtechia, no offense, but you're so far off the mark it's scary. Like or hate apple, when it comes to the hottest categories of apps (I assume you intended to include them due to the Android reference) they pretty much OWN them right now. The apple app store is selling more apps (key word...

Sorry bud, but the fact that you posted this at all just makes you look like the 'smug arrogant windows sheep'. A sheep of a different color, but the very same breed you had to be negative against. What does it matter to you if someone loves the computer they use? Why does it concern you so...

Yep. I agree wildwest. A little common sense and no viruses no matter the platform. Zealotry on either side of any given fence sucks :) I like windows for some things hate it for others.. I can say the same for macs. I just happen to like using my macs for design as the apps seem to just...

Hehe.. some malware actually does affect a mac once in years and it's the whole 'apple sheep' lameness :) It's no more lame to be an apple 'sheep' than it is to be that dork that has to call apple users sheep

I've only had my Edge FX for 6 months now, but so far I love it. Most of what I do is reproductions of 30 year old silkscreened artwork in short runs (2-300 pieces) and the Edge just does so many things found in previously silkscreened work that my ecosol printer simply can't do. For years I...

'This clunky home made mashup PC that nobody can support stuffed in some chinese garbage can with neon lights is so much better than your overpriced easy to use mac!'

Exactly Typestry. I wasn't asking to fix anything, my dongle is not lost or broken and if the label was not printed on thermal tape I would be able to read it and not need signwarehouse at all. My original paperwork doesn't have the dongle info on it, I dug all of it out searching. Because it...

I knew there was a reason I stopped using them after their HORRID support of my plotter and printer.. However today I had no choice. Hard drive failure on the mac that runs my stuff means I have to reinstall Flexi, no big deal right? So new drive everything all set, go to install... Flexi...

I had a similar issue,turned out to be a bad caddy of all things. No matter how many times or ways I loaded that one caddy it would throw the check foil error.

Decent by who's standard? Did you even research this a little bit? Foxconn workers generally ARE paid well over the average wage (min wage in china is approx 140 bucks US, average Foxconn worker salary is 290) and have better conditions than almost all of the competition in the same market...

Good ol' media sensationalism. Look past the 'apple' part of it and you quickly realize foxconn makes products for many companies in those factories, the suicide rates are below the country average and the wage is higher. But it's apple, we're supposed to hate them right?

Thanks a lot for the reply, I asked SAI support today for some direction on the question and while they were very open to helping me they didn't seem to 'sure' of the situation. Nice to hear from someone that it seems to be there. All the material setups, color film choices are there in Gerber...

Ok, i'm about to add the first new piece of equipment to the shop in a while and it is going to be an Edge FX but I want to be smart about what I buy for it that may be duplicated functionality that I can't really be sure of without actually having the equipment. For those that have an Edge...

Got no idea the appropriate forum for this question :) Looking to expand into a Gerber Edge FX, but trying to figure out what it should cost me. What's a competitive package price for the printer, plotter, omega and who do you recommend talking to? Locally 13,999 is the suggested price...

I thought about doing white vinyl as a backer, but there are some relatively tight cuts that i'm pretty sure the plotters just won't do well with if it's 2 layers thick. Best case I can print, cut, screen white and call it a day. 2nd best, print, laminate, cut and screen white. In both cases...

Thanks for the reply. I want to do it with screen ink rather than vinyl. So, using a plastisol type ink for plastics do you laminate the print to prevent the screen ink from interacting with the solvent print ink or do you not have any issues with that? My plan was to print and cut and then...
