- Matched Technology System™is fully compatible with Gerber OMEGA™ design and output software and 15″ EDGE-compatible Gerber sprocket-feed contour cutters, adding value to output and saving time.
- Patented punch pattern – Provides superior accuracy which reduces material shifting, cut time and waste due to cut errors. Enables long unattended runs of up to 50 yards without loss of accuracy.
- Easy material loading – Load material onto the sprocket wheels for quick, accurate and unattended material feed.
- Easy maintenance – Unlike solvent printers, no “wake up” or “put to bed” routines are required. EDGE resin-based foils create no mess and are ready to go immediately.
- Small footprint – The EDGE FX print-to-cut system requires limited shop space allowing you to get started quickly and inexpensively.
