    Well 2 reasons:

    1) Signs and stickers ~ We supply loads of car dealerships and this could be a handy “add-on”.

    2) Plates – We all know the issues with the requirement to print white behind colours ( due to yellow reflectives changing the colour ) and we make 100’s a day…Maybe gerber can solve this ?

    Don;t get me wrong our current systems are great, but this i believe would give us more options ? – metallics etc

    Thanks

    We got one, not used now, thinking of its future. I am not a gold member yet so doesn’t look like I can PM you so I have to respect the board rules.

    I think spandex are the only suppliers, Untill recently, they gave exeptional service. Have a few issues with them recently, just hope they sort it, for their own sake.

    The Gerber Edge is only sold new in the UK by Spandex who are a subsidiary of Gerber. It has it’s advantages and it’s drawbacks so better to ask the advice of an informed, non biased person. You’ll find a few on this board but also on some other signboards

    Paul, that guys a little closer the us, we are in the South West. Perhaps you could take up Geoz offer and have a look over the machine, ours is the Edge 1 with a P2 PC with Gerber Advantage and the Gerber Sprint setup. Plenty of films everywhere!

    I suspect the email will be moderated, so my appologise ubt didn’t understand “ad” on frontpage as all I can see is Europoint and Graphityp
