Remember, you have to put the same stack of paper into the printer twice (once for even numbers, once for odd). You just take the stack that's printed the first time, and put it back in the feed tray exactly as it sits in the already-printed tray.

Printing on shirts

Sublimation only works on Polyester.

Heat Transfer Printing HTV is using a Plotter-Cutter and ironing on the vinyl after you cut it. One color. However, you can also get vinyl you can print on with a regular inkjet. Also, there is a special printer called a White Toner Transfer Printer (such as the Ricoma R550) which apparently prints vinyl onto clear paper, I guess.

PRODUCTS:

Cricut brand HTV holds up best (according to a test I watched)- 35 washes without cracking). B flex is less durable.

Epson EcoTank L3210 printer on Linux

Newer:

Epson L320. Doesn't work if you just plug into Kali

3 driver files.

  • Install the lsb one first (the others depend on it), but it needs internet to download the required parts for it
  • worked after installing the 3 things. (Not sure if it might work after just 1 or 2)
  • Later I bought a L3250 and it didn't plug and play, so I got its driver from Epson (then it goes to another site for Linux drivers), still no, so I installed the 3 .deb packages shown here also, and it worked (after reboot).

This image shows stuff. Might not need all of these.

Drivers from Epson:

http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule

I think you just need the top 2, or maybe just one of them. On a 64-bit Debian install you should have selected the AMD64 versions. To check your system for 32 or 64 bits, do uname -a in Terminal.

They won't work, because Debian obsoleted lsb 3.2. You have to install it (actually, just something similar called lsb-compat) from:

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lsb/

Select and download lsb-compat_9.20161125_amd64.deb

OK, now in Downloads, install that deb package for lsb-compat. Then install the other 2 (or 1) deb packages for the Epson drivers. Assuming they/it now installs without an error message ...

Now go to menu and Printers, select ''add' and select the Epson L3210 12321231223 one) and select 'Forward,' then 'Apply'. It will offer to do a test print and if it works, it should be installed.


Notes on printing:

  • Draft versus Standard: Draft is more blurry, softer, with lighter blacks.
  • Plain Paper versus Glossy versus Epson Matte: Plain paper can produce lines
  • Other: At least in GNU, the darkness is affected by the image (probably shouldn't be). When I print without a small pink image on the overall image (collage), it is quite light. When I print with the pink image, it's dark. Note that this wouldn't be the case if I were printing multiple images on Shotwell, where the images are considered separate.
  • If you see lines on the print, you might have to go to Print Settings on the computer and select the paper type (it was set to 'paper' and I then set it to 'glossy'.

How to install apps that are country blocked from the PlayStore, like banking apps

Unfortunately, some banks are pieces of garbage and literally have no idea what they're doing, and make it almost impossible to do many regular banking features from outside their borders. This extends to their stupidity of not allowing downloads of their banking app when outside the borders. PlayStore is pretty perceptive, and even if you use a VPN you still might be blocked.

The only way I've found, although this does not seem particularly secure (thanks, irresponsible bank), is to use https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ and paste in the app domain from the PlayStore (from search) and sideload it. It will then perhaps require an update to the app, which will only complete if it can launch in PlayStore (Aurora didn't seem to work).

The 60s

Suite Judy Blue Eyes, by CSN

It's getting to the point where I'm no fun anymore
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud
I am lonely
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard
Remember what we've said and done and felt about each other
Oh, babe have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tearing yourself away from me now you are free
And I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you I do that's forever
Yes and for always
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard
Something inside is telling me that I've got your secret
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard
And you make it hard
And you make it hard
And you make it hard

Friday evening
Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose?
Tuesday morning
Please be gone I'm tired of you
What have you got to lose?
Can I tell it like it is? (Help me I'm sufferin')
Listen to me baby
It's my heart that's a sufferin' it's a dyin' (Help me I'm dyin')
And that's what I have to lose (To lose)
I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?
Will you come see me
Thursdays and Saturdays?
What have you got to lose?

Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing a song, don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow

Voices of the angels
Ring around the moonlight
Asking me said she so free
How can you catch the sparrow?

Lacy lilting lady
Losing love lamenting
Change my life, make it right
Be my lady

Que linda me la traiga Cuba
La reina de la Mar Caribe
Cielo sol no tiene sangreahi
Y que triste que no puedo vaya oh va, oh va

Into the Mystic, by Van Morrison

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows
I will be coming home, mmm mmm
And when the fog horn blows
I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float
Into the mystic
When that fog horn blows
You know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows
I gotta hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float
Into the mystic
Come on girl
Will they stop now
