  1. Edge FX Fatal Error 630

    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...

  4. Gerber EdgeFX questions :)

    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...

    I've read about an issue with the SignWarehouse Q100 which I think is the same as the Graphtec 7000mk2 where the rear sensor would have issues causing the plotter to stop mid cut. I found a thread here from 2005 talking about an update to allow a continue when the error happened and that...
