2/28/2020 – Can one use Illustrator files to print shirts. Does one need AccuRIP software?

Response From Enmart: Yes, you can use Illustrator, Corel Draw, or even the Sawgrass Creative Studio program which is online and accessible for free with purchase. Any program can be used as long as you can turn off color management, since that is handled by the Virtuoso Print Manager, which is included as well. No RIP is necessary at all, and printing is almost as simple as just printing a page to a regular printer.

1/10/2017 – Hi...what are the embroider buddy and Cuddles made of? Can you sublimate on the elephant's ears or Buddy's tummy? (Had to . . .

Response From Enmart: Both the Embroider Buddy and Cubbies "skins" are made from a polyester faux fur material. Both EBs and Cubbies can therefore be sublimated, as long as the material is light enough in color to show the design, of course. And you have to have a heat press platen small enough to fit the animal over it. One tip to make it easier to work with is to remove both the body and head stuffing pods (the head pod may not be removable on all animals).

The faux fur is longer on the EBs than the Cubbies though, and that will make the design look slightly rougher and more prone to showing marks from the heat press on the EBs.

As far as sublimating the ears of the Dumbles, yes, you can do that too, but the ears are padded and relatively thick, so to avoid smushing them flat in the press you'd want to use light pressure - just enough pressure to sublimate and no more.

6/16/2016 – Are you going to be getting more of Baubles Grey Reindeer and Eric Brown Reindeer soon?

Response From Enmart: We are looking at bringing in Christmas stock fairly soon. I'm hopeful we'll have it in by the end of June 2016, but I need to confirm ship dates with our supplier. As soon as they are available, we will get them up on the website and announce the availability on our social media feeds.

10/7/2015 – I would like to know if a 4 x 4 inch hoop can be used to embroider the baby cubbies? Can you tell me the size of the belly . . .

Response From Enmart: A 4 x 4 hoop is recommended. That should handle the area to be embroidered nicely.

Here are links to a few videos on how to embroider the Cubbies:
