Hello there, I have problems with a new Gold Duracoat Foil and my Gerber 1. When I print with my Gerber and the Gold Duracoat, the print start well but then I can hear a "clonk" "clonk" from inside and a messages show in the LCD "check the foil", I open the lid abd I can notice a "high tension" over the foil(even it appears broken), where is the problem? I have not problem with other Foils, originals and third party..
thank you and sorry for my English

Sounds like to high of pressure on the foil. Try telling it that you are printing on a different type of vinyl or foil color. (lie to the machine, lol)
I do this on one of our edges here, I ALWAYS tell it that I am printing on 220 regardless of if i am actually printing on 280 or specialty films.
I have had (only a couple times ever though) to cut foil off of a roll and re-start it on the roll to get it winding correctly, but I think that was edgefx cartridges...
