Well the Edge is being a pain again. I got my last issue corrected, I just had to reinstall the drivers. But now I have more problems. I turned it on the other day and the foil motor was running constantly. I unplugged it and let it sit and it was fine. Then it started doing a rapid beeping when...

I need to contour cut around two lines of text for some boat motor decals. The first line is a simple Arial "MERCURY" with a drop shadow. The second line is some fancy gothic text that says "Freelance Waterfowl Edition". When I try to put a contour cut around it, it locks the program up. Is...

Tonight I printed about 24" of decals with Flexi 8.1 and my Edge LE, and then when I went to print another file it didn't send to the Edge. It shows "online" but acts like it never gets the job. The production manager in Flexi pops up with the screen that shows differences between RIP/print and...

I am looking for a bigger printer to step up to. I currently have a Gerber Edge and I pretty much outgrew it the day I got it. I have found a Mutoh Falcon Outdoor that I can probably get for under $500. The guy said it worked when he flushed and parked it, but he thought the ink may have gelled...

Ok, let me see if I can explain this. I am trying to add a block shadow to some lettering that is going on a fire truck. In flexi, if I make all the text and then go to the shadow option, this is what I come up with: Ignore the white highlight, I got rid of that. But if you look at the shadow...

I just finished this sign today, and I can't decided whether I should put a clear vinyl overlay over the RealGold or not. This is RealGold 22kt vinyl with shadows and outlines printed on a Gerber Edge with Gerber Color foil. According to RealGold, no lamination of their product is needed. It...

Any ideas on the script font in this picture? I saw it at a cruise in today and I really like it for some reason...

When I bought my Gerber Edge I intended to use it to print shadows on gold leaf (like Pierce Mfg. graphics). I have learned that it can do much more than that, but today I decided to try out the gold leaf idea. I loaded up some Oracal clear vinyl and printed one set of letters in imitation gold...

I just got my Edge up and running and I'm also new to Flexi (I have 8.1). If I have a jpeg that is only 3 or 4 colors and I want to print it on the Edge using spot colors, how to I go about doing that? I've been trying to figure it out and I can't make it happen! The dog is what I'm trying to print.

This design will be going on fire truck doors at a local department. We have been working out the details of the design for a while, and it is close to what we were looking for. The only thing that I am not satisfied with at this point is the "Est. 1954". The chief wants a script font, but I...

I am trying to make my newly acquired Edge LE, Dell Latitude and Flexi 8.1 communicate. I went to Best Buy and bought a parallel to USB adaptor cord, but I don't think that is working. I get an error when I try to send a job to the printer. I'm not 100% sure my settings are correct, but I have a...

I found a Gerber Edge for sale locally. The seller says the motherboard was just replaced, the machine prints great and an envision plotter and 16 foils are included. The asking price is $2,500. Is this a fair price? If so what else should I be looking for or considering? I know about the...

I have been working on gold leaf gilding. Everything seems to go alright until I get to the turning part. When I turn the leaf, it almost seems like it is gouging it. Then it really sticks out when the sealer is applied. I am using a cut up Crown Royal bag stuffed with cotton to do the turning...

This font is on a new Seagrave pumper. It appears to be computer cut, hand gilded and printed on a Gerber Edge. Does anyone have any idea what font this is? I have looked for over an hour with no luck.

I would like to find a decent used Gerber Edge. If software is included that would be a plus. I am also looking for a good sprocket fed plotter that will work with the edge.

I have been working with the 3D extrude feature in Sure Cuts a Lot to create traditional shadows for fire apparatus lettering. The problem is, the 3D extrude function blacks out the inside of all closed letters instead of applying the effect there also. I have tried everything from breaking the...

Does anyone know of a source for "ornaments" such as the one below? I've looked everywhere and only found one.

I am new to Signs101 as well as the sign making industry. I have been doing graphic design work for a while but just recently decided to get my own plotter and start making some of my own decals. I am both a full time/paid and volunteer firefighter so most of my business comes from the emergency...
