Gerber Omega Composer Tutorials
Distribute for use only in combination with Gerber OMEGA 5.0. Can also be run manually from The OMEGA 5 program group, GSPTray, ComposerHelp. For detailed tutorials of many OMEGA tools, see the OMEGA Learning Guide that is.
Design Mart's studio uses a number of solutions for point-of-sale and manufacturing/sandblasting. We currently offer two types of new plotters: Gerber's GS750 and Allen Datagraph's 536.
Gerber's Omega program allows the user to open, resize, reconfigure, letter, print and cut monument designs. Omega CS is required to drive a Gerber GS750 cutter and costs more than the LS version.* Omega LS costs less,* and it may be used to drive Allen Datagraph and other cutters. Monument designs, carvings and fonts are sold separately, or they may be purchased at discounted prices when purchased as a bundle in an introductory package with Omega CS or LS.
*Prices
On September 17, 2018 we became aware of several Gerber distributors who are selling GS750 cutters and Omega software below list price. Gerber has always required all distributors to quote and sell software and equipment at the same price. That's what we have always done. Design Mart has served the monument industry for 50 years, and we like to play by the rules. Some dealers are large and can lose money on sales in order to get repeat business and sell parts..even at a loss.
This means our price will be higher than another company who doesn't play by Gerber's rules. We have spent many needless hours preparing written quotes that were higher than those of others. We no longer do that.
If you're shopping on price alone, send us your written quote. You can take the logo off of it. We don't care who you quoted you a system. If we can beat it with discounts on fonts and designs, we will. We want your business. But we think it's only fair to you if you are comparing apples to apples. The only way we can give you an apples to apples rather than an apples to oranges quote is to know what you've been talking about with our competitors.
Simply email your quote (take off any identifying info if you'd like) and email it to Mike's attention at d-mart@designmart.com . Fujitsu software operation panel download free. He'll be glad to talk with you and help you with honest information and the lowest price possible.

Unlike other popular programs, Omega is built from the ground up specifically for on-demand production with Gerber hardware and materials.
Omega offers an incredibly deep matrix of material and color settings (called material profiles) that would otherwise have to be created by the user. These profiles are automatically assigned when the user picks the materials and colors appropriate for the job. If you need to match a color, you can punch in a Pantone color and it will tell you what colors to use that come closest to matching that color. There is also a printed color swatch book with several thousand color swatches available for a more tangible hands-on color comparison. Omega is intuitive, versatile, and easy to use—a software powerhouse that has the capability to enable a beginner and propel the expert. The advanced production part of the software allows the user to rotate, flip and repeat the image, back or flood coat it with color, reverse the print order, change the heat, resolution, and speed settings. These options allow the user to print just about any kind of label or marking you might need. In addition, it controls the cutter speed, acceleration, cutting force, and cornering. This allows the user to make deep or shallow cuts, back slit, die cut, perforate, etc. In two words.. Very Capable. |
