2. The United States Desert Southwest area includes Arizona, New Mexico, and the desert areas of California, Nevada, Utah, and
Texas. A detailed map is available upon request.
3. Non-vertical applications can be used to identify commercial vehicles from the air. Non-vertical applications expose the film to the
maximum effect from sunlight and the environment. There are foil and film restrictions for horizontal applications. The film may
change color, lose gloss, and chalk. The following performance statements assume that only legibility is required.
4. Unprinted film 225-20 (Matte White) may chalk with age. This is considered normal and acceptable wear.
SHELF LIFE AND STORAGE
Apply film within one year of receipt. Printed graphics should also be applied within one year.
Film and printed graphics (with or without premask) should be kept in a clean area free from
excessive moisture and direct sunlight. Maintain temperature at less than 100°F (38°C).
Use a paper interleaf between layers of stacked or rolled printed materials. Do not stack printed
graphics face to face.
PRINTING
Use Gerber HP Series 225 settings when printing with the GERBER EDGE®, GERBER EDGE
2®, or Gerber EDGE FX.
GerberColor Finishing (GCF), GerberColor Spot (GCS), GerberColor Process Pro? CMYK
(GCP), GerberColor Medal (GCM), GerberColor Transparent (GCT), and GerberColor Special
Effects (GCX) Series Foils, and ColorSet Foils can be used to print onto Series 225 High
Performance Films.
Gerber standard tack application tape is required to be used as the transfer carrier for all printed
graphics.
Recommended working environment is as follows:
? Operating temperature: 50ºF to 95ºF / 10ºC to 35ºC
? Recommended temperature for assured printing accuracy: 68ºF to 78ºF / 20ºC to 26ºC
? Operating humidity: 20% to 90% relative humidity, non-condensing (maximum range;
actual range varies by material used)
PROTECTING GRAPHICS
Gerber Technology offers products that are designed to protect vinyl and printed graphics.
Gerber Guard? manufactured by 3M is a durable, dimensionally stable, glossy vinyl
overlaminate. This film has a petrochemical-resistant construction and is intended to be used
when markings may be exposed to petrochemical spillage and/or severe handling conditions.
Page 4 of 8
Gerber UVGuard? is a custom-formulated, 1-mil, clear, extremely durable polyvinyl fluoride
(PVF) laminating film designed to further expand the resistance to weathering of printed
graphics for up to five years.
Gerber UVGuard 9 manufactured by 3M is a 2-mil, glossy, clear, mildew-resistant, polyvinyl
fluoride laminating film with a petrochemical-resistant adhesive system. It is designed to further
expand the resistance to weathering of printed graphics up to nine years. Gerber UVGuard 9
has the highest protection from UV fade.
Gerber StrikeGuard is an 8.0-mil, clear, glossy overlaminate film designed for a variety of
applications. This heavy-duty overlaminate film is ideal for the protection of graphics, up to two
years, and is especially beneficial where printed graphics experience severe handling and
forceful impact. Gerber StrikeGuard is not recommended in applications that require
petrochemical protection or where additional UV or vandal resistance is desired.
Abrasion Guard? SPF (Sign Protection Formula) is a clear, top-coat GerberColor Finishing
Series (GCF) Foil designed for use with EDGE® Series thermal transfer printing systems, to
protect graphics from moderate contact and exposure to harmful effects of UV rays. It has an
expected performance life of up to five years (when printed by itself). When applied as a
protective overprint on other GerberColor Foils, Abrasion Guard SPF will extend the life of the
base color by up to 30%.
CUTTING
Series 225 can be cut on any Gerber 15-inch sprocketed plotter, plus FasTrack or
ODYSSEY plotter. A 30° SuperSharp blade is recommended for tangential plotters (HS15,
HS15 Plus, GSX, GS15, GS750, HS750, SMIVB). A 45° blade should be used with
swivel knife plotters (FasTrack, EmbossTrack, enVision, and ODYSSEY). Plotters can be
set to full speed.
The minimum recommended cutting height for text is .375 inch. This recommendation is based
upon evaluations using upper case Helvetica Medium copy. Users should verify their own ideal
cut heights based upon their specific cutting equipment. The user should perform a test cut to
determine the ideal tool force setting.
Excess film should be weeded within 24 hours of cutting to minimize the effect of adhesive flow.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Before applying your graphic, wash the surface of your substrate with warm water and
detergent. Do not use soaps or other cleaners with lotions or creams as they will leave a
residue. Thoroughly rinse the surface and allow it to completely dry.
Saturate a clean paper towel with a solvent-based cleaner and wipe the substrate surface. Be
certain to follow all manufacturer safety guidelines when using any solvent. Dry the surface with
a lint-free paper towel before the solvent evaporates.
If applying to glass, wipe the surface with a 2 to 1 mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol. Glass
temperatures can vary across the surface. These temperature variations can produce stresses
which may cause the glass to break. Use caution when applying to glass.
Some polycarbonate substrates may weaken when certain vinyl films are applied to them.
Because of this possibility, the user will need to determine if safety items such as helmets,
safety shields, and some windshields are compatible with their vinyls adhesive.
Many paint systems (e.g. two-part urethane) and some plastic substrates will outgas if they are
not fully cured. Outgassing can cause permanent bubbling in most films; substrates should be
Page 5 of 8
tested for outgassing prior to final application. Plastics should be dried at 150ºF (66ºC) for 24
hours prior to application to help avoid outgassing.
APPLICATION TECHNIQUES
Both wet and dry application methods can be used with Series 225 and panels should be
overlapped. Gerber standard tack application tape is recommended for all EDGE-printed
applications (see Printing section for important information on applying EDGE-printed
graphics.)
MAINTENANCE
To clean printed graphics, use a mild, non-abrasive soap with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid
using alcohol-based cleansers or soaps containing grit or abrasives. Automated vehicle
washing systems that use rotary cleaning brushes should also be avoided.

SHELF LIFE AND STORAGE
Shelf life of GerberColor Foils is one year. GerberColor Foils, film and printed graphics (with or
without premask) should be kept in a clean area free from excessive moisture and direct sunlight.
Store foils at 40ºF to 90ºF (4ºC to 32ºC) and 40% to 60% humidity. When not in use, cartridges
should be kept in their package sleeves.
PRINTING
GCS Foils are compatible with EDGE READY materials. GCS Foils are also compatible in overprint
combinations (GerberColor Spectratone) with the following GerberColor Series: GerberColor
Process Pro CMYK (GCP), GerberColor Transparent (GCT), and GerberColor Medal (GCM).
GCM Foils should not be used as the underlayer in an overprint construction. GCS Foils are not
recommended for use with Heat Transfer Paper.
Recommended working environment is as follows:
• Operating temperature: 50ºF to 95ºF / 10ºC to 35ºC
• Recommended temperature for assured printing accuracy: 68ºF to 78ºF / 20ºC to26ºC
• Operating humidity: 20% to 90% relative humidity, non-condensing (maximum range;
actual range varies by material used)
PROTECTING GRAPHICS
Gerber Technology offers products that are designed to protect vinyl and printed graphics.
Gerber Guard manufactured by 3M is a durable, dimensionally stable, glossy vinyl overlaminate.
This film has a petrochemical-resistant construction and is intended to be used when markings
may be exposed to petrochemical spillage and/or severe handling conditions.
Gerber UVGuard is a custom-formulated, 1-mil, clear, TEDLAR polyvinyl fluoride (PVF)
laminating film designed to further expand the resistance to weathering of printed graphics up to
five years.
Gerber UVGuard 9 manufactured by 3M is a 2-mil, glossy, clear, mildew-resistant, polyvinyl
fluoride laminating film with a petrochemical-resistant adhesive system. It is designed to further
expand the resistance to weathering of printed graphics up to nine years. Gerber UVGuard 9 has
the highest protection from UV fade.
Gerber StrikeGuard is an 8.0-mil, clear, glossy overlaminate film designed for a variety of
applications. This heavy-duty overlaminate film is ideal for the protection of graphics, up to two
years, and is especially beneficial where printed graphics experience severe handling and forceful
impact. Gerber StrikeGuard is not recommended in applications that require petrochemical
protection or where additional UV or vandal resistance is desired.
Abrasion Guard SPF (Sign Protection Formula) is a clear, top-coat GerberColor Finishing Series
(GCF) Foil designed for use with EDGE® Series thermal transfer printing systems, to protect
graphics from moderate contact and exposure to harmful effects of UV rays. It has an expected
performance life of five years (when printed by itself). When applied as a protective overprint on
other GerberColor Foils, Abrasion Guard SPF will extend the life of the base color by up to 30%.
Matte Clear is a clear matte finish, top coat GerberColor Foil designed for use with EDGE® Series
thermal transfer printing systems, to reduce glare and protect graphics from moderate contact or
handling. It has an expected performance life of three years.

Gerber 220 High Performance Cast Vinyl Film 220-56 Dark Green
DESCRIPTION
Gerber 220 Easy Apply, manufactured by 3M is the latest film technology. The improved air
release channels allow air escape through micro-replicated channels under the films surface
without leaving any noticeable channel marks on the film surface itself. The result is a smooth, glossy
graphic film that is faster and easier to apply than conventional films.
This 2-mil repositionable film is EDGE READY.
Approved by the AAP Equipment Engineering Committee under AAP Specification M-947
INTENDED APPLICATIONS
Gerber 220 Easy Apply is ideal for both small and large graphics over corrugated and riveted
surfaces such as tractor trailers, buses, and other fleet graphic applications. This film can be used
on a wide variety of substrates including ABS resins, aluminum, chrome, glass, fiberglass
reinforced plastics, painted surfaces and flat or simple curved surfaces, with and without rivets.
This film has a grey-pigmented, pressure-sensitive adhesive, which allows for optimum color
opacity.
This film is not recommended for use on stainless steel, non-3M films, or substrates that do not have

a clean, smooth surface or have poor paint-to-substrate adhesion. It is also not intended for
applications where petrochemical contact may occur. If petrochemical exposure is anticipated, refer
to the section below on protecting graphics.
PERFORMANCE LIFE (UNPRINTED)
When applied vertically, Gerber 220 Easy Apply has an expected performance life of up to ten years.
Performance statements are based upon field experience and exposure tests conducted throughout
the United States. Substrate selection, exposure angle, environmental conditions, and
maintenance of
Page 2 of 4
markings will affect actual performance. Continuous exposure in regions that experience maximum
sunny days will result in decreased performance.
SHELF LIFE AND STORAGE
Apply Gerber 220 Easy Apply within one year of receipt. Printed graphics should also be applied within
one year. Film and printed graphics (with or without premask) should be kept in a clean area free from
excessive moisture and direct sunlight. Maintain temperature at less than 100°F (38°C).
Use a paper interleaf between layers of stacked or rolled printed materials. Do not stack printed graphics
face to face.
PRINTING
GerberColor Spot (GCS), Process Pro CMYK (GCP), Medal (GCM), and Transparent (GCT) Series
Foils can be used to print onto Gerber 220 Easy Apply. (For information on the performance lives of
GerberColor Foils, refer to the appropriate GerberColor Product Bulletin.)
Recommended working environment is as follows:
? Operating temperature: 50ºF to 95ºF / 10ºC to 35ºC
? Recommended temperature for assured printing accuracy: 68ºF to 78ºF / 20ºC to 26ºC
? Operating humidity: 20% to 90% relative humidity, non-condensing (maximum range;
actual range varies by material used)
PROTECTING GRAPHICS
Gerber Technology offers products that are designed to protect vinyl and printed graphics.
Gerber Guard? manufactured by 3M is a durable, dimensionally stable, glossy vinyl overlaminate. This
film has a petrochemical-resistant construction and is intended to be used when markings may be
exposed to petrochemical spillage and/or severe handling conditions.
Gerber UVGuard? is a custom-formulated, 1-mil, clear, extremely durable polyvinyl fluoride (PVF)
laminating film designed to further expand the resistance to weathering of printed graphics for up to five
years.
Gerber UVGuard 9 manufactured by 3M is a 2-mil, glossy, clear, mildew-resistant, polyvinyl fluoride
laminating film with a petrochemical-resistant adhesive system. It is designed to further expand the
resistance to weathering of printed graphics up to nine years. Gerber UVGuard 9 has the highest
protection from UV fade.
Gerber StrikeGuard is an 8.0-mil, clear, glossy overlaminate film designed for a variety of applications.
This heavy-duty overlaminate film is ideal for the protection of graphics, up to two years, and is
especially beneficial where printed graphics experience severe handling and forceful impact. Gerber
StrikeGuard is not recommended in applications that require petrochemical protection or where
additional UV or vandal resistance is desired.
Abrasion Guard? SPF (Sign Protection Formula) is a clear, top-coat GerberColor Finishing Series
(GCF) Foil designed for use with EDGE® Series thermal transfer printing systems, to protect graphics
from moderate contact and exposure to harmful effects of UV rays. It has an expected performance life
of up to five years (when printed by itself). When applied as a protective overprint on other GerberColor
Foils, Abrasion Guard SPF will extend the life of the base color by up to 30%.

CUTTING
Gerber 220 Easy Apply can be cut on any 15-inch Gerber plotter. A 30° SuperSharp blade is
recommended. Though plotters can be set to full speed for simple geometric shapes and panels over
6 inches high, slowing the speed of the plotter is found to optimize cut performance. User is advised to
test cut before running entire job. This product is not recommended for complex contour cutting.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Before applying your graphic, wash the surface of your substrate with warm water and detergent. Do
not use soaps or other cleaners with lotions or creams as they will leave a residue. Thoroughly rinse
the surface and allow it to completely dry.
Saturate a clean paper towel with a solvent-based cleaner and wipe the substrate surface. Be certain
to follow all manufacturer safety guidelines when using any solvent. Dry the surface with a lint-free
paper towel before the solvent evaporates.
If applying to glass, wipe the surface with a 2 to 1 mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol. Glass
temperatures can vary across the surface. These temperature variations can produce stresses which
may cause the glass to break. Use caution when applying to glass.
Some polycarbonate substrates may weaken when certain vinyl films are applied to them. Because of
this possibility, the user will need to determine if safety items such as helmets, safety shields, and some
windshields are compatible with their vinyls adhesive.
Many paint systems (e.g. two-part urethane) and some polycarbonate substrates will outgas if they are
not fully cured. Outgassing can cause permanent bubbling in most films; substrates should be tested
for outgassing prior to final application.
Gerber 220 Easy Apply can be removed with heat or chemicals within 7 years. Be certain to follow all
manufacturer safety guidelines when using heating devices or chemical solvents.
APPLICATION TECHNIQUES
Dry application should be used with Gerber 220 Easy Apply. Panels can be overlapped. Graphics
should be allowed to cure for 15 minutes prior to application.
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ
Gerber standard tack application tape is required for all graphics produced with Gerber Digital
Color Printing Systems. Due to the unique adhesive construction of Gerber 220 Easy Apply,
application tape can sometimes curl if exposed to the liner for prolonged periods of time.
Therefore, to minimize contact between application tape and the liner, we suggest any of the
following options for graphic application:
OPTION #1: Apply application tape immediately prior to installing graphic
OPTION #2: Trim excess application tape from graphic to reduce exposure to liner.
OPTION #3: If transporting graphic, secure the applied application tape to the back of
the material liner with masking tape.
MAINTENANCE
To clean printed graphics, use a mild, non-abrasive soap with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using
alcohol-based cleansers or soaps containing grit or abrasives. Automated vehicle washing systems that
use rotary cleaning brushes should also be avoided.

HP220 Unpunched
Vinyl Takes Off
Youve heard that applications for Gerber High Performance (HP) 24 & 48-inch vinyls are limited only by your imagination. The
imagination of Joel Smiley Freeland of Delta Airlines was sparked by Gerber 48-inch unpunched vinyl when he was tasked to
design an historic graphicthe logo which is riding high on a 757 to celebrate the career of Yankee Pitcher Mariano Rivera.
In July, the New York Yankees pitcher was honored with a Delta plane dedication at New Yorks JFK International Airport.
The Delta Air Lines 757 aircraft features a seven-foot graphic with Riveras NY Yankees No. 42 jersey and his signature.
The ceremony represented the first time ever that Delta had dedicated an aircraft in New York. Even more significant, Delta
executive Gail Grimmett reported that she can count on one hand the number of times in the past ten years that the company
has dedicated an aircraft to an individual.
The fact that the first plane goes to Rivera is no surprise to Freeland. Mariano Rivera is such a great player, and hes retiring
at the end of the season, points out Freeland. Delta recognizes several sports teams every year, and Joel has grown
accustomed to exciting rush jobs for high-profile clients. But the Rivera graphic is different. This ones super-special; so many
of our graphics are for one-run flights. This one will fly til the end of October. So keep your eyes on the sky!
Although the Delta graphic will be installed for just a few months, Gerber 220 vinyl is designed to last for many years. Gerber
HP 220 vinyl is recognized for its durability, color consistency, and exceptional performance over a range of environments.
It is the vinyl of choice for applications which range from vehicle graphics to labels & decals, sports & recreation equipment,
and industrial signage of all varieties.
All set to take off! The Mariano
Rivera graphic on the Delta
757 will remain installed
through October.
USA x 800.222.7446 x www.gspinc.com
Throughout his 22-year career in technical airline graphics, Joel has
helped develop designs for all kinds of special initiatives. His first big
project was the Spirit of Delta for the Atlanta Olympics. Each special
event calls for new livery, Freeland explains, who hastens to add that
bringing a design to life in the airline industry has one or two special
challenges. Designers & marketing folks come up with great concepts,
but we have to bring them to life. I have fun at my job as the liaison
between marketing & implementationIm the bridge between two
worlds, he adds. When you are dealing with airplanes, everything
including exterior graphics–is highly regulated. Technical documentation
is required before you can install any graphics on an airplane, and its
a super-exact process That means our designs need to be superexact, too.

Joel Smiley Freeland.
According to Freeland, thats another place
whereGerber comesin. Gerber givesme allthe
tools to work in any environment. All designs
need to be full-scale for the review process.
Thatsjustone reasonI loveOMEGAnodesign
limitations. The 1:1 scale factor is HUGE: literally and figuratively!
Theturn-aroundfortheRiveragraphicwasultraquick. Id planned to take off a couple of days
to visit with the grandkids, but to do that, I
had to rush the design to get approval through
the technical group. I was pretty chagrined when
I realized that there wouldnt be enough time
to digitally print a graphic. Thats when Freeland
realized thatYankee blue was one of the colors
in Gerbers expanded 54-color range for 24/48
-inch. In Freelands words, Gerber was a
lifesaver. Honestly, without Gerber I would have
struggled to finish this project on time.
