i would like to print on metal what printing is best also can print on metal that is already painted
Hi, first time user of cricut. How do I get my cricut to print the right size letter it comes out 2 small
Good video with excellent information. In your opinion, is this a machine for the casual crafter who doesn't make things to sell?
Would it be possible to add to a transfer film to heat press at a later time?
I love your videos! Thank you so much. I got the xtool screen print last month but have been a little hesitant to use. Now i feel like I got this thanks to you :)
Thank you both for sharing your stories ❤ I suffer from migraine and I've been trying to work from home. However, whatever I try to do is slow and controlled by my illness 😢 It feels lonely, because what other people carry out easily and whenever they want takes me more time. I find it tough to network with individuals who thankfully share my mindset, but are fully functioning, bless them. Our speed and ability to plan/commit are just so different!
Sublimation is gas. You have to table all over the pink press mug.
Thank you for this informative review. I'm very new to sublimation and I have always wanted to dive into it but found it very intimidating. I will have to check this out. TFS Be Blessed.
Do you know if when using the print then cut option do you have to print on Cricut only or can you print on any paper, cardstock, etc? This will help me decide on whether to purchase as well.
You should be able to print on anything you can run through your printer! It doesn’t have to be a cricut brand product.
Another well-done video! I have this machine and it is an awesome addition to my Cricut and sublimation equipment. I use it muchmore than I expected. expected
Thank you Jane!
Guess it's a good thing I have no children. 😅
They are the best thing ever and then sometimes they get into your glitter.
Appreciate this video... I had some fuzziness come out on my printer I used today, and I wonder if it's a head alignment issue in my case. What kind of paper do you print your tests on? Do you have to use sublimation ink, or can you test with plain bond paper?
You can just use regular copy paper for your tests!
So have either of you used GoDaddy web site for your own shops.
I have the x tool 40 watt. I love it!!!
I do too! I probably use it more than any other machine.
So I guess the one downfall of the laser cut screens is you can't reuse the screen for a different design? When using emulsion you can clean it and make new design.
Yes, that's a big downside! I'm so new to screen printing that I didn't realize how you make new screens. I do think there have been some videos on using emulsion when these screens, though-you may want to look for those :)
Thank you for doing this! I am researching lasers to see the differences. Can it engrave on ceramic tiles?
Generally, no. The ceramic glaze is basically like glass and it takes a pretty powerful laser to get through it. That being said, you might try the Norton White Tile method. I haven't done it myself but a quick search looks like people have tried it with a diode laser. omtechlaser.com/blogs/news/how-to-laser-engrave-ceramic-tiles-norton-white-tile-method
Very informative, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, that was a great review you always explain things so well and easy to understand. 😊
Aww thank you! Glad you found it helpful!
Cori. I am glad you did this review. I am still not ready to purchase but enjoy learning as much as I can before I make a final decision. Your explanations and pros and cons are great information. Again, thank you.
Thank you Rosanne!!
❤
Great video for beginners! A note: you CAN run Windows apps on a Mac by using Parallels which is definitely cheaper than buying a cheap PC :)
Thank you!! Have you successfully run the software on your Mac? From everyone I've talked to, running Parallels doesn't work very well with the RIP software but I also haven't tried it myself.
Thank y'all so much! All 3 of you ladies keep so many of us in touch with our creative selves. I've been following Jennifer Maker forever and through her, I found you two ladies. Most of my friends (lifelong and recent) over the years have not been crafty at all and don't quite understand the feeling we get when our ideas turn into tangible objects. I'm flattered when others like my crafts, but when I find that person who absolutely loves what I have made, it makes all the time I have put into crafting more than worth it.
I love this Helen!
Thank you Gori you explain everything so well!!! Thank you for sharing! Hugs Lizx😊💞
Thank you Liz!!
@@HeyLetsMakeStuff You are so welcome Cori!! 😊💕
There are two types of acrylic. GS and XT. GS is a bit more expensive but better suited. This may be because the colors are different. I only use GS so I can't make a comparison.
That's good to know! I didn't know there were two different options.
Thank you for a very clear and concise comparison of the two machines! Thank you!!!
You are welcome!
Hi Cori, Thank's for your videos they are always so interesting for me a educational. I was very surprise to learn about the white toner printing, especially that it can be used on so many project!! So interesting and very anxious to learn more about it.:) My question about using a PC with it (I'm a Mac user also) would bootcamp from Mac (changing your Mac in windows software) would work with the printer software? Thank's
Have a look at parallels . It’s a virtual windows machine that runs on Mac . It’s the only program recommended and supported by Microsoft . FYI it does not come with windows software . I’ve been using it for cadlink dtf for a few months . It’s very reliable and stable .

I've been told by people both at the white toner company and at the DTF company that the RIP software doesn't run well when trying to run Windows on a Mac. BUT...I haven't tried it myself so I'm not 100% sure!
Hello! I have a question, could you recommend me ICC profile if I have Epson Eco tank L1250 printer, Epson sublimation ink, and I use Photoshop on Windows 10. Thank you!
I don't have one for that specific machine, but I usually tell people to try the Hippoo 4700 first because that one seems to work for a lot of people!
@@HeyLetsMakeStuff thank you!
Thanks for all the info. So just to be clear if u wanted to print a design that I created from publisher is that possible?
Yes you can! You should be able to print directly from Publisher or export a PDF and print that :)
@@HeyLetsMakeStuff great thanks 😊
I love that you are doing these videos, reminding me of the projects that are within the All Access Pass ,I purchased.
Glad you like them!
I wasn't quite understanding about acrylic and laser engraving. Is that doable or fume-dangerous?
It's just the extruded acrylic that is a problem. Cast acrylic is totally fine and that's what any reputable seller is selling as laser-ready.
@@HeyLetsMakeStuff I am so grateful to have you as a go-to for great answers! Thank you! And, love the new hair color ... looks great on you!
Aww thank you!!
Can we set the resin out in the sun to cure ... until I can afford the gadget to cure it?
Yes you can! It may take a bit longer, but that's totally an option.
Where can we get the acrylic sublimation blanks?
craftchameleon.com/products/groovy-flower-40-ounce-tumbler-topper-blank-acrylic-shape?ref=cori_and_angie here you go!
Especially for those of us who are introverts, I think our craft rooms are our happy places.
I completely agree! :)
Thanks for the overview. I was wondering if it can cut chipboard? I have a cricut and I use deep cut blades for chipboard of 1-3mm thickness. But it doesn’t do detailed cuts that a laser could do. My initial guess would be yes this machine could do it but not sure the type of material since it doesn’t look like the company has chipboard on its website.
Yes! I haven't tested it, but I am sure it will cut chipboard nicely. You may have to play around with the settings a bit.
Thank you, I've been looking at this laser as a little project hobbyist and so many people seem to not understand the beginners and hobbyists just want easy plug and play to get their feet wet rather than a learning curve and business.
YES! I feel like there's a big segment of people who just need something super easy.
I waiting for the delivery of my Glowforge aura and I’m glad to find beginner videos. Can you please talk about engraving pet tags
You're welcome! Engraving metal is on my to-make list at some point! :)
Clear concise and very informative information. Great video! Thankyou!
Glad it was helpful!
I have a question... I recently bought this press and having issues when doing coffee mugs. It doesn't press the design fully by the handle. I have even tried rotating it and doing another 280 sec but it doesn't work.
How close to the handle are you trying to get your design?
@@HeyLetsMakeStuffnot close I have room maybe a little more than an inch on each side. It looks like there isn't heat on the sides
AMAZING!!!!!! TY!
Aloha, my problem is that my printed image does not transfer to the t-shirt. I am printing with Hiipoo sublimation ink on their sublimation paper. I set the temperature to 390 for 50 seconds at medium to high pressure on my heat press and nothing happens. Image will not transfer. And suggestion on what I am doing wrong? Thank you.
Are you using a polyester blank shirt?
@@HeyLetsMakeStuff it’s 65% polyester
My daughter want to paint the edges of the twilight books. Thank you so much for this. I’m so excited to show her so we can attempt it.
Have fun!
I have tried to etch on the Tal brand and it does not work well.
Good to know!
This podcast was great! You all are so talented and I have learned so much about crafting from you. It was amazing to hear what you have had to go through to get where you are today.
Thank you so much!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂2😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😢😮😂.😂😂😂😂
Great podcast! Three of my favorite people to watch on UA-cam and helped me with starting my crafting all in one room ❤ (only missing The Crafty Brick 😆). Thank you for this podcast it was very enjoyable 😊.
We love Courtney toooo! :)
No matter what I try. I still can't get my imto sublimate to the tumbler
I need more information to help! 😊 What type of tumbler? How did you print your image? What time temperature and pressure settings are you using? What type of heat press?
I too have chronic illness and recently went through several years of a spiral. Two things that put me into a zone of relaxation are sewing for pleasure AND playing my musical instruments really helps. Thanks for putting this video together. It is very encouraging!
I love that! Mine is puzzles and audiobooks. Glad you were encouraged!
This is EXACTLY what I need!!!!! I’m designing a “let’s get social” acrylic sign for my first project on my laser!!! So grateful for your videos, I return to them regularly as I am getting started with Illustrator.
Two tone acrylic 🙌🏼
You got this! I love it!
I have learned from all three of you, being a man in crafting I'm hook, I'm hook now on sublimation, I watch y'all all the time, this is a true blessing how she started out from the bottom and now on a higher level and helping other grow with you. There always a brand story with everything .
Absolutely!! Thanks for watching! :)
Hi i have a epson et20 and use a ink in the uk, could i still use your icc profiles
Yes-they may not match up to your particular printer or ink but you could try them out to see if any of them work!
