Now I'm really in trouble! The printer, press and samples just arrived....and we're buried this week! Not sure if I can stand letting new toys sit in their boxes all week :-(

I guess I have my Saturday plans set! So be ready for more questions...

Very exciting Jim!

A new frontier. :-)

After many years of performing sublimation, I never get tired of peeling the transfer paper off of a substrate and seeing the impressive, vibrant results.

I'm running sublimation transfers as we speak (type).

Jim,
You are going to have SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo much fun once you get it set up....it's so easy a cav.....er you won't have ANY problems.....well maybe one or two during your learning curve. The sublijet IQ driver works almost by it's self.

After doing this for a year, outside of challenges I have created my self because of my time in the learning curve I have had only ONE time that I had a color correction problem.....and that was with the EE logo in David's shadow box.


I know there are a lot of more experienced folks that will help you, but I am happy to help you in anyway I can. Good luck. Have fun.


My next adventure begins in about a month with the arrival of *my* new toy...er I mean tool, the Vision Max Pro. Now you wanna talk about questions?????? ( insert laugh here).

Have fun

Thanks for all your help at the show, Chuck. Matt was a really decent guy, and didn't sell me anything I didn't need (...let's face it, the guy actually talked me out of spending even more money on the 4800!)

Can't wait to dig in on Saturday!

Hi Jim,

Here's a good tip. Go to a fabric store and buy a couple of yards of 100% white polyester fabric. You can get it for a few dollars a yard. It works great to practice on to get up you confidence before you start on real products. It is also good to try the different Powerdriver settings on it and see the difference in the images for each setting.

That color correction problem was not even Chuck's fault. The blue in the logo that I sent him is different than the blue that we see. The original blue was darker than what shows, when converted for web viewing it lightened horribly. It was altered to get what you see, but is still much darker in the vector format that on the screen.

Of course I sent him the original and he was trying to achieve what he saw on the screen. It was so long ago that we chose the winner I did not remember the problems until he started having problems. You could say that the correction problems were caused by me, not the PowerDriver.

Great tip, Kevin...thanks. I made the mistake of not buying any pads for the press, but I think I still have time for Friday delivery. Your suggestions for a broad range of products including tile?
