Other features on the 40th Anniversary Edition model include a backlit keypad, making it easier to see in dark or bright lighting conditions, as well as the ability to print brilliant spot and process colours, metallics and white, directly to a host of EDGE READY materials.
The digital production system also offers users a complete matched technology system when combined with Gerber’s OMEGA workflow software; meaning that
graphics producers can use Gerber software and equipment for the entire production process, from graphic design through to the printing and plotting.

In addition, customers are able to use the GerberColor Spectratone to create more than 3,000 colours by printing one spot colour foil on top of another, thus widening the possibilities of the new 40th Anniversary Edition model and the types of work that users can take on with the machine in their arsenal.
Rich adds: “With its proven technology, small system footprint, no print odours and reusable cartridges, the GERBER EDGE is a very user friendly piece of equipment. When combined with Gerber OMEGA software and a Gerber 15” plotter, graphic production becomes an easy process from beginning to end.”
