How to make Nameplates in-house:

Load Media

Step 1: Load the media.

In this case the operator knows he is using Matte Silver High-Bond Polyester.
Open the printer and load the media.

The printer will also tell the operator what media to load if they are remotely located, or not the person sending the job to the printer.

Send to printer

Step 2: Send the Job to the Gerber Edge FX.

Once the job is created, it is sent to the production part of the software. This allows you to queue up many jobs for the most cost effective work flow.

Then send the job to the Edge FX via the "Print" button in the software. Full instruction and technical support is available and recommended when you purchase a Gerber Edge system.

Activate printer

Step 3: Activate the Edge FX.

Once the job is sent to the Edge FX, follow the prompts that the printer displays.

 

Load a color

Step 4: Load a GerberColor.

The Edge FX will also tell you what GerberColor foils the job needs, and will follow the order in which you tell them to print.

Load GerberColor Aqua. Activate the printer.

Load the next color

Step 5: Load the next color.

At the end of the first color, the Edge FX will return the media to the start position.

Load Transparent Sapphire Blue. Activate the Printer

Remove the media

Step 6: Remove the media.

When the Edge is done printing, remove the media from the Edge.

Laminate

Step 7: Load the media and laminate on the laminator.

Load the media and laminate on to the laminator.

Laminate with Wet-Look 1 mil laminate. Then remove the laminated media.

Adjust the blade

Step 8: Place the media in the Cutter.

Load your media into the Gerber cutter and adjust the knife to the desired depth of the cut. Run a test cut to insure the knife is set right.
