JPEG printing with a gerber edge

[Duncan Wilkie]

Yes you can import .jpg files into Gerber Omega or even the old Gerber Graphix Advantage software I believe. After giving the image a process fill in Composer, you can send it to the Edge.
Do you have an Edge and Gerber software? Your manuals should have all that info.
There are lots of technical bulletins at…

Sadly my geeber is no longer with us

I saw this van a couple of days ago and the graphics are still like new.

Hi Peter, like the van, I have been meaning to ask, why did you sell/get rid of your gerber?

Jason

[Peter Normington]

Jason, I bought a jv3, and it was a matter of not having room for the gerber, Although the mimaki is a great machine, the gerber is better for specific specialist tasks, and can do things the Mimaki cant, and I do miss it.

If you’re doing the design in some other piece of software and importing an AI/EPS or whatever into composer you can’t have the image in the file, Composer goes nuts and the endresult is usually poo. I tend to do everything in Illustrator and then import the AI file first and then import the JPG, then align the JPG to where it should be. Set the Image Fill to process or spot color and you’re set.

if u have gerber software just click file, then place image from where ever u have it saved into composer, then click image in composer go to the inkwell icon and process fill it

thank you….thank you…..thank you.
It was the rendering step i was missing and no matter how many times i read it in the manual it just didn’t register with me.
funny how the same thing said slightly differently makes all the difference.
Thanks to all.
Mike 😀
