    Sorry for a stupid question. The printer came with 0.94 tape. I was hoping to print more narrow - say 0.47 inch - labels. Namely, that the printer will just cut them horrifically no make more narrow, just like it cuts it vertically before each new label. But i could not make it work. Every time i say more narrow width, i get the error message that the width i selected does not match the tape i have. Is this correct? I and stuck with same 0.94 width labels? Unless i buy more narrow tape?

    Can we plan multiple labels and then print all at once? For example, type in onions, potatoes, canned goods, sauces and then print all 4 labels at one time? It takes quite a while waiting for each label to print if I have to do them just one at a time.

    • @TheNailNerdJournal
      @TheNailNerdJournal 2 года назад

      Thanks for watching! I oil my nails and really let them soak with that glove on to put the good oils back into my skin and nails. This helps to make sure you have oils deep into your natural nail. The dehydrator will only take off the oils from the surface so the oils that you soaked into your nails should still be there and it just helps keep your natural nail healthy. You definitely don’t have to do that step if you don’t have time or do that after you complete your nails. Most nail enhancements are still somewhat permeable so the oil should still get to your natural nail. Hope that helps to clarify! Sorry I can be a bit long winded 😂

    • @TheNailNerdJournal
      @TheNailNerdJournal 2 года назад

      It prints from its own application and I’m not sure if it’s able to print through other applications/programs. I guess if you could get the printer to install as a regular printer it would be possible but I have not tried it. The tapes are not very wide so I’m not sure how much you are wanting to print from it but it wouldn’t be able to print a whole lot on the tape. Also the only way I know for this printer to be installed is through Bluetooth so your computer would also have to have that capability. Hope that helps.

    • @TheNailNerdJournal
      @TheNailNerdJournal 2 года назад

      This particular one does not require a base coat because it is a builder BASE but most builder gels will require a base coat first. And primer is a personal preference. I find if you use them correctly they will help a lot with preventing lifting.
