    I am a new company that has started sign making. I have a Gerber fastrack 650 and I want to buy a Gerber Edge machine for swing signs. Can you tell me is this the best machine or is there any more machines on the market that will do this job,
    Ian 😕

    Hi Ian
    Thermal Transfer Print is probobly the best for the purpose you propose.
    Choose between Roland, Gerber, Durachrome, Nautilus.
    Roland is good for small decals or small print areas and prints 600 wide 3rd party consummables (for economy)available from several sources
    Durachrome is expensive (only DC1 3rd party consummables avail)
    Gerber prints 12inch wide on 15inch vinyl This is probobly the industry standard – all sorts of support available.
    Nautilus – pretty new – good output – simple and cheap to buy & operate.
    Which do you fancy?
    Regards Dave Standen

    Thanks guys, I have taken onboard what you say and will look into it abit more. I found that 12 inches for a swing sign can be too small and not cost effective.
