Edge FX Features

FEATURES:
The display guides the user through the printing process to ensure error-free output. The Edge FX features a network-friendly Ethernet connection to maximize data throughput and versatility. The Edge FX is designed to interface with either a direct connection to the computer or with a network connection through a network hub or switch. Jobs can be sent using Gerber’s Omega design and production software or third party software packages.
With the addition of a Gerber sprocketed plotter, you now have a completely integrated system that registers the cut pattern to the print exceptionally well. After printing, the operator simply loads the material into the cutting plotter, registers one mark using the tool provided, and presses "go" to contour cut with speed and accuracy.
Due to the separate but integrated printer and cutter, system this print-to-cut workflow speeds production and prevents bottlenecks. Although the FX is a single-color-at-a-time printing solution, there is a hugh selection of colors to choose from.
The Edge FX employs an advanced color foil system that utilizes over 80 base colors from which to choose. With that many base colors to start with, the user can mix colors to match virtually any color. The Omega design program allows the user to type in industry standard Pantone® colors, which will in turn tell the user what colors are needed to match that specific Pantone color.
The GerberColor FX foil cartridge assembly consists of a re-useable Edge FX foil caddy and removable foil insert. Foil refills are easily inserted into the caddies. The Edge FX and GerberColor foil system features intelligent RFID (radio frequency identification) technology to accelerate production and help prevent costly errors. An RFID tag is included with each foil insert and contains color and foil ID information. An RFID reader/writer device is integrated into the printer, which acts as a Smart GerberGauge™ by continually updating the tag with the foil length remaining on the roll.
If the incorrect foil is loaded, the Edge FX allows the user to replace the foil or make an on-the-fly substitution so jobs quickly continue to print with an alternate foil. In the Continuous Print Mode, the Edge FX recognizes the foil present and begins printing immediately upon insertion, providing rapid production with minimal operator intervention.

The front panel user interface is easy to use, enabling virtually anyone to quickly learn and operate the Edge FX. 
The Edge FX is one component in Gerber’s Matched Technology System, a complete print-to-cut solution.
If you want to laminate before you cut, no problem: we offer a wide range of laminates for a variety of applications, and Gerber plotters do a great job cutting through the combination of material plus laminate.
Most label applications only require one or two colors, so the FX is a perfect fit.
Operators can rapidly insert and remove the foil assembly without lifting the cover via a slide-in door on the side of the unit. 
During jobs, the Edge FX compares the foil ID and actual roll length to the job requirements and notifies the operator of any discrepancies.
