Gerber Scientific Products, Inc., (South Windsor, CT) has announced the inclusion of bar code design and printing as one of many new features in its OMEGA™ 3.0 software upgrade. The bar-code generator, which is integrated into OMEGA’s existing variable data system, includes multiple, one- and two-dimensional bar codes symbologies.
OMEGA 3.0 also includes features for streamlining label and decal production for GERBER EDGE owners; and it allows you to create back-cut and die-cut, simulated, ready-to-apply decals. This feature eliminates manual slicing and other labor-intense finishing techniques.
Another feature — to save time and labor when producing multiple weight kiss cuts — allows you to integrate multiple speed and weight settings into one label and decal cutting job. OMEGA 3.0 also contains a REGFIXER tool which improves color-to-color registration; it also provides improved choke-spread capability.
Finally, the upgrades ReAction feature, a powerful set of Composer capabilities, maintain the smart-edit, color- and shape-edit relationships for sequence-created functions.
Gerber also offers its new, Gerber Signshop Helper graphics package free (for a limited time) with its new OMEGA software packages and OMEGA™ 3.0 software upgrades.
The Signshop Helper clip-art package offers 2,000 pieces of graphic material, including vehicle decoration pieces and examples of great signs shop owners can use as a base which can then be decorated and personalized. It also comprises flames, metallic, lightning and watermark looks that can enhance large-format printers or the Gerber EDGE® produced signs.
Further, it includes North American vehicle templates that represent the lines, wheel wells and doors locations for recent and current model American-made cars and trucks.
