I have used the search function here and found some very helpful info, but I just have a couple specific questions. I am running Windows XP. I was reading that the original cables dont work with usb ports???
Anyone know where? I know they use cartridges, but do they also use ribbons? I just want to know if I can just stock up on cartridges, or do I also need ribbons in the same colors? I am not very savvy with any type of design programs. I have a design now, but may need to fiddle with the colors, wording placement and size to make it show up on the blank or decide if i need a background color ect Thanks for your help, -Mike.
