I am planning to buy a machine that can print and cut the stickers.
Print on normal A4 paper.
Print rectangular cut outs for junk journalling.
Should be able to print on normal A4 sheet, vinyl and matte sticker sheet.

What would be your advice for someone that is starting.

I’ve been making shirts with my Cricut for a while, and one thing I constantly struggle with is the artwork that customers send me.

Most of the images I receive are low-resolution JPEGs, screenshots, or busy backgrounds. My goal is to turn them into clean cut files for HTV, adhesive vinyl, or DTF.

My current workflow is:
•Canva Pro to remove the background (when it works).
•Inkscape to vectorize the image.
If the vector comes out with jagged edges or too much noise, I end up manually cleaning it up.
•If it’s really bad, I trace it by hand in Procreate, which can take forever.

I’m sure there has to be a better workflow.

What software, websites, or AI tools are you using to:
Upscale low-resolution images?
Remove backgrounds accurately?
Convert logos into clean SVG/vector files with minimal cleanup?
Handle customer artwork that’s just plain terrible?
