I picked up some 15" brushed aluminum vinyl this last week. I was going to use this, with a printed black border on a logo to put on a work truck. The problem is that it is a lot more brittle than vinyl, and my thermal printing seems to rub off fairly easily! We are considering die cutting...

I'm doing my first signs with static cling vinyl. It appears that it's clingy on both sides, is that right? Or is it just the underside? It seems to work equally on both sides, but I wanted to make sure that was true :)

Hello! I tried calibrating my Envision cutter, but it seems like it only takes care of left and right calibration, not forward and back. At this time I have to line up considerably under the crosshairs to get an accurate cut. How do I fix that? PS: Is it just me, or did all the threads in...

So... I'm kinda looking into getting into a larger, ink based setup. I'm a poor man, I don't have much monies, and we just had a baby... so I'm not in high-risk mode. However, I run across jobs that I'm limited on with my small thermal equipment as far as detailed graphics, and at the moment I...

Are there rolls of banner material that you can print directly to with the Edge? I've looked a little online but haven't found anything. I tried doing a full color banner, 72" x 24", but I found it impossible and extremely time consuming to do a good job putting the banner together in 2 pieces...

I need to do an outdoor window vinyl sign install today if I can. It started getting colder again today, and it's 34 degrees this morning. It's pretty damp, but the work space is covered by an overhang and stays pretty dry. Am I safe to do a vinyl install in this type of cold weather? Or do I...

I was looking at this machine here: http://www.summastore.com/cutter_detail.php?product_id=26&sess_id=f3747f62cd97df1bf1f965b63f561734 It's a thermal printer. I currently have a Gerber Edge 2 which is also a thermal printer. Does the Summa thermal printer provide a more detailed, non-sawtooth...

I have a Copam 2500, and for the last while I've had a hard time with it cutting just horribly! I've attached an image of what it's doing. As you can see it's a really rough/jagged cut and it even causes the edge to come up a little bit. I've replaced blades and I've even replaced the blade...

I just ran out of my first color foil in the middle of a 3 color foil job. Is there a way that I can go ahead and reset it and add my 2nd and 3rd colors without losing what I've done? Otherwise I'll waste several yards of vinyl... my bad.

I've run into my first sticker that needs transfer tape. Can I just use the clear transfer tape that I use for my regular die-cut stickers? Here is what I've been buying: http://www.uscutter.com/RTape-Clear-Choice-AT60--General-Purpose-Clear-High-tack-Application-Tape-100yd_p_145.html Also, I...

If you have a small job come in that requires using foils that you rarely ever use, do you bill your customer extra for that? Or do you charge them normally, figuring that you'll use the foils eventually? It's about a $200 job, and I'll probably need to order 3 foils that I don't have, for that...

Most of my business is internet based so I don't really require a commercial location at this time. However, I am outgrowing the loft in our house very quickly. One idea is to move into our insulated, but not heated garage. However, it can get very cold in the garage during the winter months...

In composer is there an easy way to replace ALL of a particular CMYK color with a spot color without having to select every single section of the graphic with that CMYK color? I try dragging a spot color over to that particular CMYK color in the swatch at the bottom of the program, but it...

In doing a full or partial wrap on my 2002 Dodge 2500, do I need some sort of template? Or do I just print a ton of vinyl and cut everything out by hand?

I notice when making decals in the Edge 2, that the second pass is always off by a pixel or two. For instance, if I was putting one color directly on top of another, the second color would probably end up to the right by a pixel or so even though in Composer they are directly on top of each...

Hey Everyone! I do a lot of die cut stickers, and thermal printed decals with the Gerber Edge 2. What is the going rate for either die-cut, or thermal printed decals? For instance, what should I charge for 100 3x3 decals on white vinyl, using a single color foil? Thanks for the help...

I have a red/white decal that I'm trying to print on black vinyl. The white came out great but the red was really darkened. I'm using tomato red. How should I go about this? Thanks!

Using Gerber 220 Vinyl, and their foils, with an Edge 2 printer, how long should a decal last outdoors made with this setup?

A customer of mine wants to know if I can make a reverse sticker on clear vinyl to stick on the inside of a window. I'm still new to this Gerber Edge, can I do that? What material would I need to get? Thanks! Andy

Wether I plotting or printing, what is the best file format to my work in Omega?
