Gerber Edge FX Thermal Printer

Produce graphics other printers simply can’t—efficiently, affordably, in-house, on demand.

The Gerber Edge FX Thermal Printer gives you the ability to produce top-quality graphics for much more than standard signs, labels, and decals. Together with Gerber Omega software and a Gerber plotter (see Graphics Production Systems), Edge FX has you producing graphics for everything from professional sports helmets and powersports vehicles to durable industrial markings such as:

- Asset tags
- Data plates
- Domed markings
- Electronics circuitry
- Nameplates
- OEM label production kits
- Overlays: control panel overlays, membrane switch overlays
- Safety markings
- Security and bar code labels
- Serial number labels . . .
Any type of variable-data markings . . . and more!

Can your inkjet or screen printer do all that?

The ability to print graphics in-house, on demand, offers several advantages, particularly for short runs. The workhorse of your shop or in-house production department, the Gerber Edge FX helps you:

DELIVER FASTER

With dry-ink foils and digital design software, prep and turnaround times are significantly reduced. No die tooling, wet inks, plates, films, or screens to worry about. No waiting on outside contractors to make changes or create new markings.

SAVE TIME, MONEY & SPACE

Save on production time and cost: no need for laborious job set-up or break-down, or paying high contractor rates or for higher quantities than needed. And because Edge FX uses heat and pressure to infuse long-lasting colors into base materials, clean-up is minimal. No messy inks or solvents (or fumes) to contend with afterwards.

Save on space: Edge FX’s compact footprint takes up very little room in your workplace. No dryers, racks, or other space-taking extras needed!

GROW & EXPAND

Grow your customer base by producing graphics others can’t produce with their printers. Expand your services by creating products businesses can use for private-label branding. Or simply increase your value as an employee by being the go-to provider of graphics solutions. Set yourself apart from the pack!

With the Gerber Edge FX Thermal Printer, the possibilities are endless!

- Available are 80 base foil colors from which to make more than 8,000 colors, including most PMS (Pantone Matching System) colors.
- Ability to print opaque white, chrome, metallic and transparent colors.
- Prints on a wide variety of durable base materials including polyester, vinyl, polycarbonate (such as Lexan®), and transfer media. See what trusted brands GMS Media has to offer.
