I have the same question. If starting a rhinestone business, is there software to buy to do the artwork and digitize the rhinestones yourself and then outsource to a vendor to print?

 

[btwice]

Your best bet is to visit ioline.com . They have the best rhinestone machine package on the market. The only problem they are not the cheapest on the market.

So how does Ioline compare to the Cams 1v-2p machine?

 

[rhinestonetransf]

They are really hard to compare. The cams is three times faster and doesn't require special tape. I also think the cams would last a lot longer as far as the parts and the actual machine.

The simplest way to get started to is to buy a "starter kit" from one of the Preferred Vendors" listed on the left side side of the screen. These kits generally will include the basic equipment you need: tweezers, brush, base, some stones, etc. In addition you will need to purchase some pre-cut templates of designs that you like. If you want more control of the designs you will need a program for developing your designs and a vinyl cutter, or if you have a bunch of cash you can purchase a machine that sets the rhinestones and then you will use the software specific to that machine. A heat press will be required regardless. It is needed to set the rhinestones on to the material/garment. There are rhinestone specific forums on facebook for additional research. Hope this helps.
