How to make Dataplates with Variable Data and Barcodes:

Step 1: Load the media.

In this case the operator knows he is using PolyTrace matte silver 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.

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.

Step 3: Activate the Edge FX.

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

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 Orange. Activate the printer.

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 GerberColor Black. Activate the Printer.

Step 6: Remove the media.

When the Edge has stopped printing, remove the media from the Edge.

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

Load the media and laminate on to the laminator.

Laminate with Tuff-Cover 8 mil laminate. Then remove the laminated media.

Step 8: Place the media in the Cutter.

Load your laminated media into the Gerber cutter and adjust the knife to the desired depth of the cut.

With Tuff Cover laminate, you definitely should do a test cut to insure a correct depth of cut. You also have the option of telling the software to make a "double cut" such as in this case when the laminate is very thick.
