AHHH WHY ME!!

Recommended Posts

Ok....would it be so hard that when they programmed the software, that before you went to cut/print, it would ask, "DOES THIS NEED TO BE MIRROR IMAGED?"

 

Cuz once again, i forgot to mirror image it for my shirt!!

 

Think of the vinyl and ink and all the other media and time that would be saved and not wasted!

I bet it won't be the last time - we all do it from time to time -- just better when it isn't the last of a roll of a special color.

Ya that sucks. I have started to mirror my files when I save them if they are heat press bound. That way when I open them up I go...hey thats already backwards and I both notice and can forget about it. Problem now is remembering to do that. LOL

If you've got a printer that you only use for mirror-imaged printing, check your printing preferences for a way to make that the default...

 

You'll need to do it from Control Panel rather than within your printing program to make it the default.

I did this a couple times, fortunately it was for my band, so I took the reverse images and heat pressed them on the back, so it looked like I did it on purpose. Regular on the front and reverse on the back. Charged $10 more for those in the end.

 

Sometimes your just being creative and don't know it.

 

later
