OMEGA™ is Gerber's latest sign design and production software for cutting, imaging or both.
It has all the power-tools you need to get today's jobs done faster. It works with data from all kinds of software packages thanks to a huge range of file import and export options.
It's versatile, exceptionally easy to use and engineered to save you time and money.OMEGA capabilities allow you to create sophisticated, technical or advanced layouts while maintaining a simple and consistent operation.
OMEGA design and output tools are fine-tuned to accommodate vinyl cutting, printing and routing on sign-industry production devices.
OMEGA is intuitive, versatile, and easy to use—a software powerhouse that has the capability to enable a beginner and propel the expert.
Includes all the tools you need to create and output advanced cut vinyl and router jobs, plus has color assignment and output capabilities for all GERBER EDGE® series and GERBER MAXX™ 2 thermal transfer printers. Includes ARTPath software.
Includes all the tools you need to create and output cut vinyl and router jobs, however it cannot output to thermal transfer printers.
Allows for complete design activities without any output. Show customers concepts in the front office. Design on a laptop away from the shop. Add design stations and save files to a network folder for output.
Includes all the output capabilities of OMEGA CP with no design capabilities. Offers additional cutting, rendering, and even routing capabilities with no design features. Use this station to keep output devices separate from design areas.
OMEGA 2.6 is a maintenance release for the latest version of the OMEGA software that adds further refinement and functionality as well as faster processing to the 2.5 release.
Importing files into OMEGA has never been easier! Omega 2.6 features improved importing of Postscript and PDF file types as well as for AI and EPS files. In addition to accommodating some of the latest versions of AI, EPS, PDF and Postscript files. This enhanced function enables the importing of spot colors, clipping paths, cut paths and other features that are created in the original file. With OMEGA’s improved file importing, you get more original design details and less reassignment of design elements or re-creation of file parts.
Perfect customer proofs and layout instructions by generating on-screen measurements and annotations with the Dimensioning Tools feature. Dimensioning Tools allow you to measure objects, distances, and angles and post these measurements in the job. A main dimension toolbar contains the six new tools: horizontal, vertical, aligned, angular, annotation, and object dimensions. And for extra flexibility, you can choose to paper print or output the dimensions to a GSP output device such as the GERBER EDGE FX™.
Maximize design productivity and keep jobs organized by designing and outputting with the Layers feature. Use Layer Manager to select, cut, paste, and arrange the order of the objects in a job. You can put an image on one layer, logos on the second layer, and text on a third layer. Hide layers to make it easier to focus on specific job components or add notes to layers for future reference. When the job is complete, you can output the layered job as a single traditional job or output only specific layers.
Save time and improve productivity by directly embedding image files into OMEGA. Once you embed an image in an OMEGA file, the original image file does not have to be in a separate file for rendering or transferring images to another user. With the embedded Images feature, you can spend less time looking for files and more time producing new ones.
Enhance designs and create special effects by masking or clipping images and objects using with the Clipping Paths feature. Clipping paths limit the display of specified objects by drawing only the parts of the objects that fall within the path and not the parts that fall outside the path. Eliminate photo backgrounds, create design focus by emphasizing a specific area of a graphic, and produce new special effects. Clipping paths are simple to use, powerful, and fun!
OMEGA 2.6 can operate with Windows® Vista®, Windows XP and Windows 2000 Operating systems.
Save files to be compatible with previous versions. OMEGA 2.6 files can be opened in 2.5.1 without conversion.
Spacing now allows objects to be spaced at a customized distance. Turn off Automatic in the Distance box and enter a new value in the Horizontal or Vertical text boxes.
