  9. Gerber Edge 2 not taking up foil as prints

    Our Gerber Edge 2 is not taking up the foil while it prints. If you open it, the advance button does take it up, however, as of today if the lid is only opened a small amount it does not take up the foil. I am guessing we need to replace the Take Up Clutch. But if any one has other suggestions...

    We have a Gerber Edge FX with a printhead pixel starting to go out. We have had this problem with an Edge, Edge II and with the Edge FX about 3-4 times in the past 12 years and I have always been able to avoid the absurd (to me at least) process and expense for buying one from Gerber.
