Guys, Many thanks for the responses here, I am going to give them a try to see if the new methods improve the results (which I am sure they will do!) I will let you all know how I get on, and see if I can't get some pictures up of the work we are trying to achieve! Thanks again... Gareth

Hey Guys, Sorry if this has already been asked, but I am looking to take on some new jobs on the Edge FX I have, that will involve taking hi-res images and printing them onto vinyl. I understand that I have to use the CMYK foils as process, yet, when I attempt a print - the result is very...

Thanks for the advice there guys - I will try it out on Monday! Have a great weekend . Thanks again Gareth PRO-DECALS

A new one for you guys... Hi guys, Many thanks for all the help on the GSX cutter thread - I am now happily cutting 18mil convex decals with great ease! Lets see if anyone can answer this query? On using my EDGE FX I sometimes get (with certain foil colours) the print registering up to...

A few days in and the Gerber GSX is not letting me down - I have found it will cut 18mil vinyl easily - But not the 18mil compound of Laminate & Marking film that is known as CONVEX!!! The 12mil PRO-SHIELD Laminate is made of a stronger material than any other 12mil product you can put...

OK Here is the latest in my quest to get the Gerber GSX Plotter cutting OK again! I have tried the plastic washers - which didn't really help. Soooo. I have been contact by the technical dept. at my machine supplier here in the UK. And they have talked me through how to raise the knife holder...

Oooh I have those washers - they were attached to the pen tool.. I think I have 2. I will try those tomorrow (night time here!) and post an update ASAP! Thanks Fred - :U Rock:

Well guys.. Finally I have some vinyl delivered that is the right thickness to get these tests done (18mil / 450 microns) And...... (Fanfare) The knife blade still scores the surface of the vinyls..... (d'oh!) It has to be the y or x axis that needs lifting to solve this issue. As...

Thanks guys... I am going to have a go at this today! Then try a few test cuts.. I will let you all know how I get on later.... Thanks again Gareth

Dude I simply adapt my templates to fit the bandwidth of the GERBER EDGDE FX. On most of the templates, you do not lose alot of the template! But for example the 08/09 RMZ 450 Rad Shroud - I have a 2 piece template, which not only make life easier to fit, but.... Also goes through the FX without...

Thanks for your responses guys, but to answer all questions one by on; 1. Pat White - I do have to laminate, as if I cut the decal out then laminate, I still have to cut the finished article by hand, which will look shoddy and double my work loads. 2. Fred Weiss - Fred how do I find the...

Fred Hi, I have been meaning to get in contact with you sooner regarding the help you have given me in the past on my Gerber equipment, as I wanted to say a big thankyou. As you may have seen in my ("HELP ME") threads ages ago, I am a new start up MOTOCROSS decal company here in the UK. I...

Fred.. Many thanks for your reply. I am printing on a Gerber EDGE FX using OMEGA v2.6. I have since found out what I was not doing correctly. That was I wasn't putting the TARGETS in the correct position for where I was needing them! (When in GSPplot) I have since got my problem...

Hi all... I have recently taken delivery of a new Gerber GSX Plus Plotter to (hopefully) help advance my MX graphics business! I was told that the GSX Plus is as simple as 'plug in & play!' However I am finding that this is not the case! When I send a job to the plotter via Gerber Omega...

Tony, You were spot on in regards to the code. I changed the foil colour when putting the run through again. It worked!! Thanks for the help - for a moment I got a bit worried! It's great to have this forum, and all the vast wealth of knowledge on here to draw help from. I can't...
