Can’t get the text to work on my LOKLiK

Hi there I’ve just joined today. I wonder if someone can help. I have my machine connected to my computer and I’m trying to use the app but can’t get the text button to work. Does anyone have any ideas. Thank you

I ve just set the app to my new tower computer. I can get the pictures to move onto my screen but when I try to apply text it won’t work. The text box is there but when I try to type text nothing happens

So does the text box come up with the letters text? You may have to double click the text wording to high light it and then you can type what you want.

Hahah I’m so silly I never tried that. That’s it working thank you so much. I’m new to the equipment so you will probably be fed up with my questions soon :see_no_evil:

I have a siblimination printer as well is there any way to print designs onto that from my LOKLiK app then cut it on my LOKLiK printer. Do you have a tutorial for that. Thank you

You could do this but I wouldn’t advise it, as the print quality from the app is not as good compared to a program like photoshop or Inkscape. It’s the same with the Cricut design space, not sure why but the software reduced the print quality. Unless you wanted your machine to cut it as well, I personally wouldn’t use Idea studio to print your sublimation design. If you are still unsure, let me know and I’ll explain more.

I don’t have videos yet on the loklik icraft as i’m waiting on my machine as well, but both the loklik crafter and the loklik icraft use the same software so you should find the videos helpful.

Loklik has a Print and cut feature so I guess this is possible. I’m just not sure about the parameters for the cutting if there are sublimation material presets.

Yes, they have print then cut feature. It’s currently easier to calibrate it on the icraft machine not the crafter machine. It takes a bit to get it going unfortunately. I really hope they improve this. While trying to get it working though, Loklik recommends to have the software and firmware updated to the latest version. Some people have had trouble updating the firmware as well.

I don’t have an iCraft yet unfortunately so I can’t compare the calibration with the Crafter. But the Crafter sometimes has a difficult time in detecting registration marks causing delays in calibration and sometimes even after calibration, the cuts don’t improve much or doesn’t stay consistent :disappointed_relieved:

Still hoping Loklik would improve on this, and take note of the other suggestions in other topics here and apply them to both machines :pray:t2:
