I'm looking for someone that would be willing to help me get a Gerber Edge FX and Gerber Envision GS15 Plus up and running. I've been in business for about 8 years, mainly doing laser engraving and dye sublimation. I had the opportunity to buy this setup and at the time I was looking at it, I had a local sign shop guy advising me on the unit. The plan was for me to buy it all and him come set it up and help getting it running. He no longer worked at a place that had one, but he had a lot of experience with Composer and running them and said he'd like to run the machine on the side, if that worked . I bought the machines, got them all in place, and called him. After trying to get him to help for about a month, I gave up. Seems like he was anxious for me to get it so he could make some extra money, helping me run it on his off time, but all I could get from him once I bought the machines was "I don't have time".

I'm not a computer or graphics guru, but I do use CorelDraw with the lasers and sublimation all the time. The printer is hooked up and works, but I haven't gotten the plotter setup or working. I wouldn't be doing overly complex items on it, mostly small cut out decals.

I've called a number of companies that sell the machines and supplies and no one seems too interested in any training or better yet, turning me into a customer that buys materials from them.

I've thought about selling the machines but I really do have a need for it and I would like to get it going if possible.

If you are in the Paramus, N.J. area and interested in getting paid by the hour to help me finish setting this up and getting it running, along with spending some time with me, making sure I can at least do some simple tasks, PM me. I'm happy to pay someone to help me, I'm not looking for a free ride, just someone with the experience that can help get me going.

So are you trying to run these without the Gerber Omega Software? I'm really not familar with the machine but seems like it's best running through their software. FWIW, you might jump through a bunch of hoops to get this machine running. If I was looking to get into this business I would be looking at the Roland Versa Studio 20" model. It's a decent solutions for short run stickers etc for around $7K. At that point, you might just go to a full size Mimaki or Roland and try to expand your offerings.

I'm in Paramus as well and would be glad to help if I had any knowledge of that machine. I'm going to buy a new rollfed with print and cut capabilities probably next week at Printing United to complement my current Canon Colorado.
