Recreating the profiles - this would take considerable amount of time Taking a screenshot of the page - the scaling is off Saving a PDF from the Labelife profile - the scaling is off and is way too small for some reason when converted and moved to the NIIMBOT software.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

@dinobuccini are you able to send me a sample file from the Nimbot app? I can see how easy it would be to reverse engineer it.

I can also work on the PDF scaling.

Did you try printing the page? It should just show the label.

My apologies, I am rereading my comment and noticing that I was typing PDF instead of PNG.

The NIIMBOT printers are able to print from PNG so having a PNG posted directly on the site would be nice, I tried exporting from Labelife but it came out way too small and with a border I couldn't delete.

I did try printing the page but NIIMBOT drivers don't seem to allow direct printing from Windows, only the app itself.

I will attach a blank 40x30mm sample file from the NIIMBOT software. Looks like they use .jcps file format.

As a quick note - I was able to get around my issue by taking a screenshot of the PDF but that was not ideal. Having functionality directly from the website would be preferred, but I have my way to get started for now. Thank you for your hard work on the site!

@dinobuccini can you send me a picture or screenshot of what that label looked like?

markcarroll commented 2 months ago

@dinobuccini Got good news for you. I think I cracked the downloading as a PNG file. Take a look and tell me what you think.

Sorry for not getting to reply sooner, you got me during my work day - looks like you were able to figure out a solution.

They came out great.

You are awesome - if you have an online tip jar of some kind please send it my way so I can make sure you get something for your time!

@dinobuccini glad it worked out for you, I was actually quite pleased with how it came out myself. It went better than I had initially thought.

I do have a KoFi page: https://ko-fi.com/sirthundercloud and have just set up a Patreon page for ongoing support, should you feel so inclined. Thank you.
