  1. Life is great...

    Finally - when I can watch my Gerber equip doin' its thang flawlessly again... makes me remember why this is my third complete round of their plotters/printers I've owned in 25 years! Of course, the issue turned out NOT to be in their equipment, but the processor. But, I did get absolutely...
  2. Loading Omega issue...

    A tech support guy @ Gerber on Friday asked me to load my new Omega 2.1 program into a second computer I told him I had (this was after we spent nearly 3 hours ascertaining that there were unexplainable problems with the 1st machine). It won't load into the second machine at all - at least, not...
  3. Foils on eBay...

    In case interested: about 9 hrs left for four cartridges (over 200 yds). All black. Up to about $54 right now, 3 bidders. (don't have URL, but I got there by typing "Gerber Edge" into search).
  4. Frustration gone to seed...

    I just looked back over the titles posted by me in the Gerber forum, and was taken aback by how many problems I've been battling with my Edge. I got it off ebay from a really great guy in Canada... and it currently only shows 9960 print minutes. For 3 straight days I've been thru every online...
  5. Gerber Rain is Pouring

    Ok... what's it mean if the Edge stops about 6 inches into a print and a window comes up with:Overlap I/O event is not in a signaled state. (996) line 732? I'm outa guesses and tries. Anything I attempt further gives me a Data Error on the machine readout LED. Thanks/Dave
  6. Vehicle Wrapz cost-effective Edgewise?

    HAS anyone satisfactorily done a wrap with considerable coverage of the vehicle with an Edge? What's best vinyl to use?
  7. Exasperating Problem!!!

    This is happening too frequently for me to put up with anymore. Sometimes when I have sent a job out to the Edge machine and the printing is done, when I come back to the Plot window to click the knife icon to start cutting the icon is grayed out and therefore not functioning. What's up with...
  8. Printing on Imit. Leaf?

    Before I jump into printing an outline and shadow on some 4mil imitation gold leaf vinyl (FDC), I want to be sure this can be done successfully on the Edge? And if so, what should I select as the vinyl type for the Edge info? Thanks!
  9. Stranded at the Edge!!!

    I upgraded my processor with a new motherboard and chip - very straightforward thing I've done many times in the past. Only bug is that the Edge won't run anymore. The job gets sent out to it, shows up in the spooler, and when I press Online button I get brief "Warming Up" message and then the...
  10. Printing T-Shirt Transfers...

    Is the heat transfer material that can be used on an Edge a really viable approach to tee printing? I'm considering buying inventory to expand in this direction, and am interested in opinions about the quality of doing shirts and caps with an Edge. THANKS!!!
  11. Is This Legal?

    www.all4soft.net I got an email about this site and looked at them. They offer for instance a download of Corel 12 for I think it was $39.95, and savings of nearly $400 on downloading FlashMX'04 from them for web development. They have Illustrator equally as cheap! And other Adobe programs as...
  12. Magnetics

    I'm about to accept an order from an athletic booster club for some auto magnets of the school lion mascot. I've never printed directly onto punched magnetic material with the Edge before. Am I in for any surprises I should know about? Thanks
  13. Pics Of Average Workday...

    When I first posted here, a few people wanted to see some of the cycles I striped everyday for 4 years. Here's a sampling of what I had to "endure" doing every day for last 4 years before opening my sign biz again. I got paid for having more fun than ever before, but new owners came in and...
  14. Edge "expose"?

    Has anybody written a book on Edge techniques? Seems like there's enough of 'em out there that a detailed manual w/ step-by-steps would sell. Dave Kellems
  15. Importing Images Attempt...

    I designed some vehicle graphics in Macromedia Fireworks that were similar to what you might see at www.auroragraphics.net. By way of example, let's say one was similar to the Nike "swoosh", it was drawn 50 inches long, and had a diamond plate steel TIFF image used as the fill. I then exported...
  16. Back For "ROUND TWO"

    For over 20 years prior to 1999 I ran Kellems Signs here in Ft. Worth, TX. I sold the biz to American IronHorse motorcycle co. as part of going to work at their factory pinstriping new cycles for nearly 4 years. In that time, I striped nearly 1,600 cycles! It was an awesome, fun time until...
