Printing Equipment
There are two popular methods of digitally printing custom decals for MX Bikes, ATVs, Helmets, etc. Both methods require an investment in equipment. As both deliver different printing options, we recommend printers have access to both technologies.
We sell thermal printers but do not sell wide-format inkjet printers at this time.

The Edge FX dominates spot-color color printing with opaque, mirror, and metallic colors used for brands and logos. Thermal is the most durable. USE FOR: • Spot colors (consistent from one job to another), metallics, and white. Flood coating. • Most durable production on a wider variety of materials than ink jets. More versatile. • Integrated sprocket drives enables easy alignment of laminated graphics, back slitting and die cutting, printing two sides, and printing on 2nd surface. |
Eco-Solvent Inkjet dominate in finer photo realistic and texture printing. USE FOR: • Wider than 12" printing in one pass. Banners and posters. • Photo realistic images and complicated art. Most ink jets are twice the resolution of the Gerber Edge. |
