hi yeah I know what you mean , I got a 6 month warranty with my machine with a option to buy further warranty (which I didn't take ) I think like anything second hand its a bit of a risk but ive found it worth it and I am really happy, but yeah its a big investment,

to be honest ive never had that so probably not the best person to ask, all I cab suggest is checking the quality of the file you are using, and make sure all your settings on the printer are correct and all the inks and drums are in full working order, if it still presets id contact the customer support of the machine manufacturer, sorry I couldn't be more help and good luck getting it sorted 👍

Hi well ill try and make a couple more for you if that helps all I can say is I love them I think they are great, a big investment but one I personally think is worth it.

please feel free to subscribe to my channel and not miss any more videos I can do, would really appreciate it 👍

Hi im really sorry to hear that as it sounds like a totally different experience to what ive had, all I can say is from personal experience my machine is great, yes I have occasional thread breaks but no more than I did with my previous machines, do you have a Tajima now or are you going to get one ? id love to know how you get on with it. Have you had to change many parts on your Melco? all the best Rob

thanks mate, thought id start trying to do a few videos again, hope you are well

Hi mate thanks for the question I hope this is of some use Occasionally that has happened, I find if the colours are solid its a lot more accurate, when there is shading and fade I find sometimes its not as vibrant as id like, I do have to pick and choose very carefully which print jobs I do with the Oki, if I think its not going to be a good enough match I will use a different print method, it is a great printer but does have its limitations

@@MakingTEES hi mate, yes bang on I have the same experience with the OKI. All the best 👍

hi sorry to hear that what machine do you have please

no unfortunately not

Buy an inexpensive Windows laptop to run the MelcoOS, use your Mac to design.

@@tmireviews2684 thats a good idea, ive got a nice little set up now with a new reasonable pc with 2 monitor set up so I can run the machine and do some design/other work at the same time 👍

hi mate, I just used normal 75's on this job no problem, what machine do you have? ive upgraded my machine and have made loads of patches from scratch including velcro backed ones, I will do some more videos on that if it helps

Hi Scott ah im pleased to hear my videos have been of some use to someone thats great, I will try do some more but if there is anything you really need help on let me know ill see what I can do for you, keep going with it the VR is a great machine and very versatile, and what I done when I first started was practice practice practice, I got some old t shirts and just embroidered as much as possible keep going mate you will master it

Hi I use a Oki 8432pro wt printer which is a white toner printer, I couldn't say for sure if your printer will work with this paper as I dont know much about your printer, but if you contact @amayauk im sure they could tell you, thanks for the question , and sorry I couldn't be more help

thanks much appreciated

thank you 👍

if its for a one off wear t shirt like stag dos id just print it full, if its a photo on a garment thats going to be worn a lot I would print it using a different print system

my pleasure I hope it is of some help

Hi Tanya I do not but I will film one for you and get it up some time very soon, I hope that will help

@@MakingTEES thank you xx

@@tan.hughes Hi Tanya I have uploaded a short video for you, I hope it helps

no unfortunately not mate

Ah thats great to hear and well done you, yes puckering can be a pain but always digitise to the material you are using and make sure to really do the backing and hooping well and you will be great also lots of practice get a old garment you know will pucker and do loads of embroidery on it, good luck with your business and thanks for subscribing

I use a 75 jersey point from Madeira or a 90

thank you for the comments I really appreciate it and I am glad it was of some use to you, good luck on your journey

my pleasure and hope it was of some help

ah thanks hope it was of some help

ok thank for the feed back much appreciated

thanks mate

well you know, when you become big league its what you do 😂😂🤔🤔

ha ha might as well 😂

no what happens is you peel of all the excess, so its only left underneath the embroidery stitching, and the first time it gets wet it forms into a clue like substance and maintains the waterproofing of the garment,

😂😂

to be fair the large full images without rasterisation don't last long using white toner, the rasterised does last longer but you do lose a lot of the vibrant colours, I think for longevity DTG or screen printing is better, I do find if art work has a lot of negative space and isn't full of solid colour then the white toner can last a long time.hope that helps

@@MakingTEES how long does it hold up for? 30 washes or 20

@@trenchkid3845 so not rasterised you dont get much more than 20 washes if its rasterised ive still got t shirts going strong after 40 plus washes

@@MakingTEES without cracking or with cracking

@@trenchkid3845 both ive had some do 20 washes with no cracking and look ok others crack very quickly maybe 5 -10 washes,

your welcome, glad to be of some help,

yeah its a unusual one, embroidered out really well though 👍

@@MakingTEES ok ok 🤐😉

well you don't need a white toner printer but as I have one thats what I use

hi so are you saying the black that should be solid come out rasterised but the rest of the colours come out solid ?

@@MakingTEES No. ist just a normal printing, not rasterized. But the color on black have pale yellow dots

@@87Freemann ok so what software are you using with your oki ?

@@MakingTEES Forever Transfer RIP. But i have the same problem whit the PS or whit Corel Draw. The Atributor from Forever saying its static load on paper.

@@87Freemann have you run through some different designs to see if it happens on all of them ?

Yeah that’s because the fibre’s are pulled up a bit when it’s pulled off it goes away with a rub or a first wash 👍

Thanks Pierre

Hi Bianca, its no bother at all, and its great to hear your already establishing a business, thats a good question and I can only speak from personal experience and I have personally found each time I buy something with that intention I soon regret not just getting the item im eventually building up to anyway, but that said I have also made purchases which I later wished id started small on. not much help im afraid but if you believe your business will benefit form either then get the best your budget can afford, thats obviously only my personal view, you just gotta do what feels right for you, good luck and I look forward to hearing what you decide.

No problem, just hope it helps 👍

@@MakingTEES I will definitely give it a go in the morning and let you know how I get on. Cheers buddy

@@MakingTEES Morning Rob... Well buddy IT WORKED!!!! 😁 thank you again for uploading this video and taking the time to show me, I REALLY appreciate it!! thanks again David 👌
