I was able to use it on my paintings after the base coat of the background was done with no problems. I had no problem painting over it and erased a few small areas with no problems as well. It worked perfectly.

Yes choose dark setting also make sure your drawing is dark the darker the image the more carbon will transfer

To be honest, I dont know because I bought it for my friend as a present. But as far as I remember it was working through paint or photoshop software.

If the product you are painting is already magnetized, painting over it will not take that property away. Hope this helps!

My artwork is on canvas, so I'm not sure. I imagine there will be some reflection off of the glass.

Hi... I think I can help out here, at least as far as defining "sublimation". (Whether these will work with this process or not, I can't say, since I just happened to run across the info while looking for something else. This isn't my type of artwork, though, so besides the definition, I'm as clueless as everyone else!) So... Sublimation: Sublimation is a way to create bright, permanent, professional looking image transfers using your own artwork or photography. No plastic feel, no fading when washed. No other image transfer technology to date can claim this except for printing directly on to fabrics with fabric dyes. The science behind sublimation is simple: when heated to high temperatures, sublimation ink turns into a gas, allowing it to enter into the open pores of the polyester-coated item. Once removed from the heat, the pores of the item cool and close up, trapping the ink inside of the item. The sublimated image will be soft and smooth to the touch and is a permanent application. No bleeding or fading when you wash it! Sublimation works specifically with polymer-coated substrates or light-colored, 100% polyester garments. You also have to use a printer that can be loaded with the special sublimation inks, and the special sublimation paper. A good heat press does the transfer. Irons and steam presses do not get hot enough or apply enough pressure. (This information is directly from Dharma Trading Company, http://www.dharmatrading.com/ ) I hope it helps! Rory

I have tried to do this with the program. Let me be very clear this program only operates within another program already installed on your computer. I have found the Paint program to work the best. However you can find clip art from the internet and save it to your computer only if it is a PES file then open it in paint( which is what I do) . If there is a lot of detail the program will just kind of jumble it up when you try to embroider it , so if you try that I suggest very simple art without a lot of detail. Hope this helps you.

No it won't it doesn't convert to photoshop very well and when it does the file size is enormous. Works great with illustrator

I am sure you already know the answer. It depends. The factors that govern will be size of painting to be photographed, distance from surface, lighting and you camera (full frame or cropped sensor). You might consider borrowing or renting a similar focal length lens to see how it all lines up. Best of luck.

The program converts pixels to stitches, as best as I can figure. It does not does not import as if a sketch, only as blocks. Backstitch lines can be added later.

Yes, if you convert the your proprietary raw files to DNG using the free Adobe DNG Converter. More detail here: http://adobe.ly/ACRandDNG

If it outputs to artnet, you can run the artnet driver that comes with it. You'll lose a bit of functionality. I use QLC +.

I'm nor sure. I figured it would work I was also considering textile paint and stenciling. tI haven't tried anything with mine yet. Being 100 percent good quality canvas they should be ultimately paintable and transfers. As canvas I would imagine that embroidery type art would work too.

Yes.....I made photo copies of pictures and then transferred them onto a picture frame mats....worked awsome. Hopefully that helps :)

No, it works independently. It has been a couple of years since I used it, but it worked fine to copy off all the patterns.

Yes, it works on any painted surface. Expect good results on light scratches.

It transfers colors! I used the pen to transfer logos onto wooden nickels. (Just make sure it's laser printed and not an ink jet printer.) you can also use xylene (got mine at lowes) if you're going to do mass amounts. The pen did about 75 wooden nickels for me. Whereas the xylene did 100 front and back with about 1/4c.
