I never update my Adobe suite the first few weeks after a new update because the plugin developers need time to make it compatible. You should be able to revert back to the previous version though!

Has anyone gotten these two to work together? I've tried emailing what I believe to be the Graphtec tech support but I never got a reply, and that was two months ago. And would that be the correct place, do the Graphtec hardware techs support Cutting Master issues? Their website is...

This would still be considered commercial use, even if you're not taking any money for it.

Oooooh OK. Right, I get that. Well let's put it this way. If my daughter wanted me to make her an Anna and Elsa sticker and I drew it on sticker paper and cut it out for her, that's fan art, Disney won't care about that. If I sold that sticker to a customer, that's where Disney...

I don't really understand what you mean by this. You're allowed to use the sticker, just not commercially. They're for personal use.

Just because they are giving decals out for free does not mean that you can use them however you want. You typically would not be allowed to use them for commercial use.

A lot of people have the mentality that it's OK as long as you don't get caught. Or "it's OK because Disney has bigger fish to fry". Etsy is overrun with people selling Disney stuff that they have no rights to, but Disney does not do anything about it so they keep doing it. It's...

Thank you, that's helpful! Yeah I don't laminate my small decals like that, most of my items can remain unlaminated which is why I figured that a print/cut all in one solution would save me a lot of time, since I don't have to take it off to laminate. The items that I laminate are...

Out of curiosity, why the Summa if the Roland also cuts?

Ahhh your set up sounds like a dream! I am not really looking to outsource my production though, most of my items I print on demand and I need to have them out to customers within a few days, so adding another step to that process would not work well for me. If I sold fewer products and in...

I have not actually looked into latex, is it very fiddly? For ease of use is it comparable to solvent? Are the prints more durable than solvent if they're not laminated?

Well right now I'm not printing anything larger than a 5X7, I don't have any current plans to do large wall graphics or things like that although obviously if I had the equipment that was capable of it - it would be a business that made sense with my products. My niche is...

The HP Everyday Matte that I'm using is polypropylene but I absolutely hate it. It was really cheap, 112$ for 2 rolls of 24"X75'. My cost per set on that is very low, 45 cents USD. When I pump it up to my other material, which is the Inkpress adhesive vinyl, it goes up to 1.20$ per set...

Those sound expensive! I have a lot of variation in my shapes, a lot of them are custom and so a REAL die cutter with plates wouldn't work for me. As an example, this month I designed a bunch of retro 50s women (advertising style), they're each about 2 inches high, in different poses...

Very very small shop, more like a computer and some printers and a few lackluster cutters :) I'm self employed and do this from my home. My question for the print and cut machines, does that impact the longevity or the maintenance needed, my cutter does generate some dust on paper...
