Great, thank you. Iāll see if I can get the correct date, just incase the printer fails again.
Feeling sleepy. The dang wind drove me nuts again today. Hope you all have a great week!
Yes, you donāt have to add a number, I do that for myself to keep count. Just post a comment about your mood, here, and the system keeps count for you. ![]()
Could be, but whenever I place my cardstock under a heat press, it bows, and I donāt like that.
Iāll try turning it in portrait orientation rather than landscape, and see if that helps. I havenāt tried cardstock with my iCraft, yet, maybe Iāll try it today and see if it cuts the butterflies better. I donāt use white core, I have some Cricut Value Cardstock, I havenāt tried it, but I use AstroBrights, theyāre both solid core. It cuts fine, unless Iām trying tiny details, like the butterflies. ![]()
Also, thereās a reply button at the bottom of the post on my screen, that I use, but if @shirleycobb decides to scroll all the way to the top, she should know she can do so by clicking the comment total, then, clicking the Dec 25 date, that way sheās not scrolling through 1500+ comments. ![]()

I think it should be fine, considering many people tape two (or more!) mats together to make a single longer mat.
Personally, for a tear like that, I wouldnāt use it in the machine, but I would cut in down to use in other ways.
I can guarantee Iād be the one in a million where it goes wrong, gets snagged, breaks the machine, catches fire and burns my house down! ![]()
Wow, youāre even doing calibration in meetings now. Youāre a trooper! ![]()
Yeah, Iād probably be in that same boat! Whatās ironic is, I was cutting basswood with my other machine, yesterday, and my brand new strong grip mat cracked.
Not very happy about it, but Iām still gonna use it. ![]()
Itās not nearly as bad as hers, as itās still together. Itās not cut all the way through the mat, but I can still see the crack from the backside.
The saga continues with this Epson to sublimation printer lark.
I was thinking about the fact that the prints look extremely vibrant on the laser paper I did the set up and testing with, so I went back and checked on my starter kit. It seems that they sent a different manufacturerās ink to what Iād ordered, as it was no longer stocked.
So, Iāve basically converted my inkjet printer to an inkjet printer! ![]()
The replacement ink they sent is not sublimation ink and now I feel like a complete and utter eejit. All is not lost though, as itās such a very high quality 6 colour photo printer that Iāve resurrected, Iāll use (most of) the ink up making stickers and DTF film/powder hacks, etc. Then, when the inkās gone, I should still have a good working printer to finally convert to sublimation. ![]()
Oh no, thatās unbelievable. Did you tell the company that isnāt acceptable and you want a refund. You didnāt get the product you ordered.
Iām glad you got it working and the printer is printing well. But still thatās a kick in the gut.
I think youāre absolutely right. Iāve just tried again to connect my Crafter via Bluetooth and it couldnāt connect to Idea Studio, so I turned the speaker off at the wall and my machine connected straight away!
Guess that means no more music while I work ![]()
Day 40 Mood Ecstatic! I received the rest of my HTVRONT order, yesterday! I now have 4 of my favorite weeding tools, and am the proud owner of all this awesome vinyl! I also have 6 large HTVRont tote bags on which Iāll be pressing some of this vinyl. ![]()

Iām also thrilled about how these resin bookmarks and pendants turned out. I used some HTVRONT rainbow chrome and matte & glossy permanent adhesive vinyls to decorate the bookmarks I poured a couple of months ago. Then I finished them with the clear resin that was leftover from my Project | Sunflower Clay Coasters ā āBloomā & āBelieveā.
The glossy vinyl threw me for a loop, though. I cut the neon pink on the wrong side, because I thought the glossy side was supposed to face downward, since the other colors were glossy side down. However, those were matte vinyls whereas the pink was glossy.
Now I know. ![]()
Day 40 - Mood: Happy!
Completed the challenge and still counting! Have a Happy Monday, Beautiful People!

Mood. nostalgic. Have sendt a job application to a small school today.
After that i have looking at pictures of my daughter from most of her childhood. Iām going to have an album made for her confirmation with pictures of her and the people and things that have meant a lot to her throughout her life until now. Our boys also got that when they were confirmed and think itās a good memory to have.
