[@nipaigrat]

The bigger question is how long does that 45$ cartridge last

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

Great question- the following is taken from the Colop FAQ section of their website The range of the cartridge depends on several factors including size and ink coverage of the imprints. Around 5000 imprints can be made with an imprint that is 14 mm x 100 mm with a coverage of around 15 %

[@menglin7432]

WOW, printers have really evolved!

Holy cow thing is 440 US and 55 for a ink cart thats a terrible price point for a inkjet printer

You’re joking, right? It’s nice, but it’s not worth $440. I wouldn’t pay $100 for it. They can keep it. I’ll keep printing on my HP inkjet.

Can you make a QR code inside of the app? ( Say copy and pasting a web address?) How easy is it to target a specific spot on the paper to print? I want to use it to print graphics in a bound journal.

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

You can add a QR code, I'm not sure but I think you have to generate it externally and then add it as a graphic. Re placement it does take a little practice but the guides either side of the printer body help. I've also heard they have a placement ruler in the development stages

Woah! Mind blown!

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

It's magic isn't it

[@joebrewer6554]

Does it print onto cloth/t-shirts well? Also can you print white ink onto dark surfaces?

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

You can print on to cloth, it is a washable ink. If you want it to be permanent you can use the fabric tape. I demo this in my napkin video 👍 The ink cartridge is a standard Tricolour so it can't actually create white or print on anything super dark just like a regular ink jet printer. Hope that helps ❤️

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

I'm sorry you are having those issues. The only one I've got experience with is having to rejoin over and over. It sometimes helps to move to a different room with stronger WiFi. The Colop website had lots of troubleshooting tips and may be able to help with the rest.

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

Just a thought, if you pick up the E-mark when printing multiple lines of text it starts again. You have to keep contact with the paper and move to the right until in beeps, then roll down until it beeps then left, beep, down beep,right beep. If the sensor loses contact with the paper at any point it will start from the start agaib
