  1. If you don't mind small (8.5x11) sheets, you can pick up an Epson C88 or C88+ fairly cheaply - they use the same pigment-based ink as the 1100 - I use mine all the time for photo transfers.

    The 'ink jet vinyl' is called 'opaque' or 'dark' transfer paper.  These get printed face-up, can be cut and are transferred like heat vinyl.

    Here's a couple videos demonstrating opaque inkjet transfer material:

    Print and cut using a vinyl cutter: 


  2. Stick them between a flat table and a heavy board for a while, but don't take it out until you're ready to use it, because after a bit it will curl again.


  3. When I have a image that I have traced the bitmat in inkscape and then copy and paste it to SB, the image is huge and I have to keep adjusting it to make it fit to my workspace.  Am I doing something wrong is there an easier way to do it?

    You can try this:

    At the bottom of the SB window you'll find the properties bar - click inside one of the 'Size' number fields and change it to something more manageable, then View->Zoom All to see everything, drag your image back to the work area, then back to View->Zoom Work Area.


  4. One of the images in your import folder is probably causing the problem - check your import folder for a file with the .ERR extension and remove the corresponding image.
