  • Many of us rely on our visual memory when it’s time to embark on a new project; a colour theme we like, a particular aesthetic, the arrangement of shapes to make a whole.
    Keeping a Project Journal is the perfect way to access those ideas and add to them when inspiration strikes. A simple notebook is transformed into an engaging and ever-changing tool, helping you spend less time searching for ideas and more time making wonderful projects.
    The Brother VC-500W ink-free portable printer is an invaluable piece of kit when it comes to saving those ideas you’ve seen online instead of trawling through the internet trying to find that certain image. When you see something you like, simply save down the picture to your phone or laptop, print it in seconds, and then fix it into your Project Book, along with paper and fabric swatches and hand written notes.

    This looks like a great little machine, but what i especially liked was your constant crediting of where you found the various images. That’s really respectful. Thanks, as always, for your great ideas and projects.

      Thank you, I feel that credit was definitely due as the other people's projects were beautiful. The other pictures were just stuff I'd made so that's why I didn't credit them 😆c x

    As a kinesthetic person I really appreciate not only the tool but you walking us through some ideas. Thank you

    Great idea for people who like having scrapbooks and journals to flip through. Sounds like you have a lot of activities to keep track of: daughter's wedding, kitchen remodel, videos you're making, craft projects, vacation ideas.

      Haha, I have to write everything down! I'd be happy to have Jess as my daughter but she's the editor of one of the magazine I work for. She didn't know I was going to do a page on her but when she saw it she loved all the ideas! c x

    I wonder why so many people are having issues with this brother printer?! It looks amazing! Have you had any issues with it??

    • @TheCraftsChannel
      @TheCraftsChannel  2 місяці тому +1

      I've not had any issues, and I'm the least technically minded person on the planet. I did make an effort to actually read the instructions before using it which is not something I normally do! c x

    very high quality video review. Can I send creative labels from my photoshop (I use Corel paint XI) to this printer?

    • @TheCraftsChannel
      @TheCraftsChannel  2 місяці тому

      I'll be honest, I don't know. I would imagine that you could if they're saved in jpeg form but you might be better finding an online forum for this printer as the members will be far more technically minded than me, c x

    Is it possible to use normal receipt papers in this Brother VC-500WCR ?

    • @TheCraftsChannel
      @TheCraftsChannel  2 місяці тому

      I don't think so. The paper in the cartridges has heat activated crystals in it I believe, to make different colours, c x

    Hello Corin, I have just purchased this mini brother printer you're demonstrating in this video, and could you please help me with a question I have. I'm currently using the printer from my tablet, and all is great, but I would like to use the printer from my Laptop, but I'm have no luck with it.
    My laptop is brand new running Windows 11, but the print editor app 2 doesn't work on the Laptop, is this because it isn't a touchscreen laptop therefore the app cannot work on the laptop, my tablet is obviously a touchscreen interface, but my laptop isn't.
    Is there a workaround for the app on the laptop? or is it just not possible for the app to work on my laptop, is the app not designed to work on laptops that are not a touchscreen interface. Or am I doing something wrong, I'm using the a USB cable from my printer to my laptop, but it will not work. Any ideas Corin?

    • @TheCraftsChannel
      @TheCraftsChannel  2 місяці тому +1

      I'm not really techy enough to answer this with confidence I'm afraid. I did manage to work the printer from my laptop but only after getting the company IT guy to do something (no idea what) so it's not the touchscreen interface that's the problem. You're probably best to contact Brother's technical team for advice. Truly sorry I can't help any further than that, c x

      @TheCraftsChannel Hi Corin, many thanks for your kind reply, It's appreciated.
      I did act on your tip and contacted Brother customer services, who were very helpful indeed.
      It did take some head scratching moments on how to get the printer to install on my laptop, but after clicking some extra settings by me, I succeeded, and I'm now up and running with my labels. Thanks again,Corin. 🙂👍

    I keep seeing everyone talk about how horrible this little printer is for many different reasons and it makes me scared to buy it but I want/need it so bad!!

    • @TheCraftsChannel
      @TheCraftsChannel  2 місяці тому +1

      I think everyone's experience will depend on their expectations. The other thing I've noticed is that people are more inclined to leave a bad review about something because they like to rant. If you're happy with something I think you're less likely to think a review is necessary. I don't know... c x
