They say my old Edge is a dinosaur, and that's probably an accurate statement. But when it's the only printer you have you learn to love it... except for the 10 hour days spent standing beside it swapping colors. Hopefully by the end of the day today I will have printed, laminated and cut at...

The graphics on this truck were designed by me, but when the apparatus manufacturer did the lettering they substituted some of their proprietary fonts in. The "ENGINE" was LHF Antique Half Block in my original designs. Now I have to re-letter some other trucks to match this one, and I need to...

I noticed my GS15 Plus wasn't contour cutting accurately and after a quick inspection I found the drum has a little over 1/32" play from side to side. Is there any way to adjust this to keep it from moving side to side?

I was about to buy some white reflective today for a job I have coming up that involves lettering several wreckers and big trucks. It will be a multi color job printed using my Edge. I normally use the 5600 fleet reflective, but I noticed 5650RA is available in 15" punched. Has anyone tried...

I was asked to change some truck numbers on a fire truck. I looked over the pictures I was sent and determined the existing material was Leo's Smart Gold. When I sent my quote the customer agreed that the truck had been lettered in Smart Gold 10-15 years ago. So I showed up to do the job and...

I have a large job coming up that will be printed on white reflective vinyl using my Edge. I need to print transparent orange (which I have) and transparent silver or light gray. Gerber does not list a transparent gray foil, but I see that some distributors list the SpectraShade as a transparent...

I am looking for a font that looks similar to this hand lettered work. I have found several from House Industries, but they are all italic or "casual".

I guess I have just been lucky so far, but I have never had any real gold graphics that I couldn't break down to fit the 11.88" print width of the Edge. Sometimes it is a pain and things have to be broken down in awkward ways, but I have made it work. But now I have to replicate this maltese...

Does anyone know of a wholesale printer who will do reflective car tags? I have 50 to do and it will not be very cost effective to use my Edge, but I will if I have to.

I recently switched most of my vinyl from Oracal to Gerber/3M. I was using Oracal 290GF to laminate everything because it is optically clear and worked well, but now that I have switched manufactures I am not sure which route to go. I ordered some of Graphic Marking Systems' SPF 2 mil 7 year...

I have a thread in the Mutoh forum that is about the trouble I have had getting my Falcon Outdoor Jr. running. After a lot of checking and testing and help from a few nice people on that thread, I have come to the conclusion that the supposedly brand new print head I purchased is bad. After...

I purchased a printer and Onyx 7 last year as a package deal. After struggling to load Onyx they sent me a link to download 7.3, which I did and everything worked fine. I was having trouble loading a new printer today, so I decided to uninstall and start over. The program would not install from...

I finally got around to finishing the refurb on my printer today. New print heads, dampers, O-rings, capping station, pump and inks. I thoroughly flushed all lines before I started putting it back together. I have ran 3 manual cleanings and several test prints without much change in the results...

I am running Alien Skin in Flexi using the method that was suggested on here of installing it in Photoshop and then running it as a Photoshop plugin through Flexi. Everything works great except for effects that are outside of the selection. For example... if I try to use the extrude effect it...

I am currently using Oracal vinyl for almost everything that goes through my Edge. I use a lot of Oracal 751 with 290GF lam when doing my hand-laid gold work. I recently tried to switch to the 951 clear, but it doesn't print well on the Edge. The spot colors have ragged edges and don't seem to...

This design is for a heavy wrecker service. They have black trucks with orange fenders and roofs, and want the lettering to match. They basically want Harley-Davidson logo colors (black, orange, white, silver). The black logo off to the side in the picture is how the trucks have been lettered...

I am looking into buying a Summa DC series printer. I feel like these printers may be more suited to my business than a solvent or latex machine. My business is primarily fire apparatus graphics and fire helmet shields. I currently print everything on my Gerber Edge and turn down anything I...

I have a Mutoh Falcon Outdoor JR that I am wanting to sell. I purchased it used with ink hardened in the lines and heads due to being taken out of service improperly. I have taken it apart, removed the bad heads and cleaned all the lines. I have all brand new parts to go in it including a new...

Does anyone have a catalog of all of the Gerber fonts? I am trying to see what fonts come with Omega and all I can find is a list, not an actual catalog that shows the fonts.

Yesterday I had to cut some of the new Real Gold brand 22kt. reverse glass gold vinyl for a window job. Its really nice stuff, but its fairly pricey and I had just enough to do the job. I cut the black backup shadow and outline out of Oracal 751 with no problems. I loaded the gold up, and sent...
