Duracoat® Ribbons
Thermal Transfer Foils for the Gerber Edge®.

Professional quality color resin ribbons with easily refillable cartridges.



Professional quality color resin ribbons with easily refillable cartridges.

Some of our customers run hundreds of Duracoat ribbons through their printers every month.

"It's just like running a different brand of vinyl; not a problem" says one of our customers. And Duracoat guarantees against harm to your Edge.

Duracoat ribbons are available for the Edge I and Edge II models only. They are not available for the Gerber Edge FX.

They are also UL recognized in combination with GMS polyesters and choice laminates.

Duracoat ribbons require less print head energy to print. In order to obtain optimum print quality, we recommend changing the print head settings from normal to one of the lighter settings.

Note: Use the lightest settings in the plot program when printing on Static Cling. Test the print quality on static cling before committing to the job.
