I know Gerber states FX prints will last 3 to 5 years outdoors, but is this realistic? I have heard some say 2 to 3 years with no lam or abrasion guard and let say I add the AG can I tell my customers to expect 5 years. Just want to relay accurate real world information.

I have been tooling around with the software/printer and was wondering if there are any tricks to printing small details. In particular I was printing some thin black lines (around a 1/16") on Oracal metallic silver vinyl and it almost looked like the foil was not sticking completely. I then...

How do these perform? I was amazed by the price difference from the gerber brand especially the metallic gold and silver. Will these work with the gerber caddies? any other info I should look into or be prepared for if I make the switch?

To start off I have version 3.0. I was told that when changing your vinyl color your foil color will also change slightly. In other words lets say you have a square with a spot color red fill, and you change the vinyl from white to blue. Will that square go from a red to a somewhat purple red...

Just wondering if any of you have some insight on how to price your work? I listed this question here because I am talking about Edge/FX prints only. I am not looking for specific examples like how much should I charge for a bumper sticker, and I know the theory whatever I can sell my stuff for...

Has anyone cut the convex 8mil vinyl with the 8mil over-laminate on the HS15 plotter? can it handle material thick? if so is there any special setup with the plotter? I am assuming I would increase the knife pressure but should it be slowed down? any other tips? Any information at all would be...

What brands of clear vinyl are you guys using for decals? Is the Gerber brand vinyl worth a try?

Has anyone ever replaced the separation lever on a PC60? I have an extra one and would like to replace the original one that is starting to fall apart. Any help would be great.

I am new to thermal printing but love the idea of spot color printing especially on clear. With that said I am looking to get the most bang for my buck I am looking to get either a new FX or used edge II. Besides a greater price, what is the advantage in getting an FX over an Edge II. Print...

Does anyone know what numbers correlate with what color ribbons. I am referring to the silver label on the bottom. I know black is 12, Yellow 13, Magenta 14, Cyan 15. To make a long story short I need to find out the numbers for White, Red, Blue, Gold, Silver. And one last question, lets say...

Is it possible to cut images printed with a Roland PC60 with a GX24? I know the sensor on the GX is pretty sensitive on where the Crop marks are placed. I want to give this a try for 2 reasons I can cut while other items are printing and second the cutting on the pc60 seems to be off a little...
