I use Gerber omega 2.2 software. I want to get Sign Lab for my winter home down south.

Looking for pro & con about Sign Lab software, or just get another Omega?

At fist I didn't want to learn a new program, but was told it would be no problem.

Please give U'r input....Thanks

I have yet to even see Gerber. I have Sign Lab but haven't really dabbed into it to much, but I think I will start since it has drivers for more cnc router. I mostly use flexi. But I think if you call the company they will send you a demo CD where you can do everything but save files or something like that.

Having worked with SignLab and Gerber Omega I prefer Omega.

It could be the more organized environment of Composer or the more capabilites that Omega offers in one screen.

When using SignLab I feel as if certain functions/tools arent "grouped" accordingly to there final use.

I am currently working with Flexi and find ot to be similar (but NOT the same to Omega). Guessing after 15 years I am a die-hard Gerber fan :headbang:

Since you own a copy of Omega you can purchase a second USB key for a fraction of the software's cost.

Just my 2 cents.

I have to agree with Fran Even tho both are great programs.

One thing I do know about Sign Lab is the customer support is awesome.

Don't know what Omega is like but haven't heard anything negative at all.

Since I'm in Canada that's my 2 1/2 cents.

LOL Cheers.

I have owned both of these and currently we run SignLab. We changed over to SignLab several years ago when we got our first large format printer. Gerber used to be so proprietary, didn't work well with others. I think they have improved that in the last few years. When we first changed to SignLab it did a much better job of importing different file types and it would drive everyones plotters and printers. It would even drive the Gerber Edge just fine. SignLab will even open files that Illustrator has trouble with and will open native Gerber .plt files. It is different from Omega, although I haven't seen the newer versions of Omega, both are good programs, and there are features of each that I like better. Guess it's just a matter of personal preference.

      Skyhook 100hd cable sizes

      By Elite Sign & Lighting · Posted

      It would be the cable appropriate to fit in the sheave size, measure what is on there currently. And 2.25 - 2.5 times longer than the fully extended boom length. You can probably find the least required number of wraps on the winch drum.

      Digital Signage is Revolutionizing Hospital Communication: 6 Big Advantages

      By wipathcommunications · Posted

      Hey everyone, I wanted to share some insights I recently explored about how digital signage is transforming communication within hospitals and healthcare environments. Whether it's patient experience, internal messaging, or emergency alerts — digital displays are making a huge impact. Here are 6 key benefits I discovered: ✅ 1. Reduced Perceived Wait Times Waiting in hospitals can be stressful. Digital signage helps by displaying health tips, entertainment, or wait time updates to ease patient anxiety and improve their experience. ✅ 2. Real-Time Emergency Alerts In urgent situations, hospitals can use digital screens to instantly broadcast important alerts or emergency codes across departments — faster and more effectively than overhead systems. ✅ 3. Improved Staff Communication From shift updates to meeting reminders, internal digital boards streamline communication and reduce confusion among staff, especially in larger facilities. ✅ 4. Wayfinding Made Easy Navigating hospitals can be confusing. Interactive digital maps and directional signs help visitors and patients get to their destination without constantly asking for help. ✅ 5. Promoting Health Campaigns Hospitals can use signage to promote wellness programs, flu shot campaigns, or COVID updates — all in a visually engaging way that captures attention. ✅ 6. Better Patient Engagement Screens in waiting areas or patient rooms can be used for educational videos, treatment FAQs, or even personalized messages — creating a more informed and connected patient experience. I wrote a full article diving deeper into each of these, if anyone wants to read more: https://www.wipath.com/top-6-advantages-of-using-digital-signs-in-hospitals/ Would love to hear your thoughts — are you seeing digital signage being used effectively in your hospitals or clinics? Cheers!
