Before you say Ted, the Roland GX-24 doesn't print, read on. I just wrote that to get your attention and to fill you in on a little known decorating process that some very "cutting edge" decorators, who will do anything to get a job done (does that sound like you?) have used with success. If you own an inkjet printer and a GX-24 or other optic-eye enhanced cutter, you can do the same thing. This process has been used by several Cadworxlive.com users, they are the ones that shared the tip with me. I am constantly impressed and amazed at the creativity people show when they need to print a specific design on a t-shirt. Maybe you can try it the next time you need to print a full color image on a shirt and don't want to have the entire piece of inkjet transfer paper appear on the shirt. Here's what they did:
The GX-24 Print/ Cut process
Users create full color designs by selecting a piece of clipart or importing a full color image into the Cadworxlive.com designer. They can then add text and apply any effects they like. The user then exports the file into a raster image format such as .jpg or .png. The user can then import the image file into Cut Studio and create a cut contour line. They can then print onto Inktra transfer paper and cut around the design using the optic eye feature on the GX-24.
After you're done, just used your heat press to apply the design.

I invested the time and effort to install cadworx live but could never get it to send to my ioline cutter. I went back and forth with tech support via e-mails but could not get the issue resolved. I know it will work, but the process to get problems resolved seems cumbersome to me. Since it is a very busy time of year I have not had the opportunity to delete and reinstall the software to give it another try. May I suggest some live tech support so people can resolve issues as they are happening. Thanks, Steve Trinity Embroidery
