​We recently purchased an Alienware computer for our graphic designer to run Corel Draw, Photoshop, and Kornit's Quick P Designer. It is running Windows 10 and 32 gigs of Ram with a speedy processor. Installation of Corel Draw and the Adobe Suite worked perfectly, but we are having ongoing issues attempting to install Kornit's Quick P Designer. We use the Kornit Quick P Designer to Rip the art files to the Kornit KSF format that our Kornit Storm Hexa Printer can use to print t-shirts. 

​The Quick P Designer uses a Sentinel Hasp Key (dongle) plugged into the computer's USB port to protect Kornit by having customers use it on multiple computers. Once again, this is another annoying security precaution by Kornit since they don't trust their customers that purchased the software. 

​While attempting to install the Quick P Software on the new computer, numerous error screens pop up. The crazy thing is we can install the software on different computers in our factory. Our current art computer is running the Quick P Designer with no issues, but this new computer is causing software installation problems. 

​The first error I received while trying to install the Kornit Quick P designer. 
Error when starting the network service with parameters 1157.577.1
This is an internal error. For assistance, contact your administrator or the software manufacturer. Status Code: 48 5 733 577

​The Sentinel HASP Run-time Environment uses port 1947 to communicate with local and remote components. If you use a firewall, ensure it does not block this port.

​Error 1009: Cannot open HASP HL drivers

​When you go into the Windows device manager, you can see that the HASP keys are recognized and working correctly. The HASP key is plugged into the USB port, and the red light is on the stick, so the HASP key is working.

​Does anybody out in internet land have a solution to fix the HASP key problem. I have called the Kornit techs and they are still stumped after a month of trying to get the install to work. Our graphic artist at Northwest Custom Apparel is chopping at the bit to start using his new Alienware computer, but the Kornit HASP key error using the Quick P Designer is the only thing holding us back.

If you know of any solutions, don't hesitate to contact Erik Mickelson at erik@nwcustomapparel.com or call 253-922-5793. Thanks for helping me

​Finding suitable corporate gifts for Seattle clients can sometimes be challenging. Nevertheless, you can still discover the right gift with advanced planning and clever thinking to bring joy and appreciation for years to come. Northwest Custom Apparel specializes in corporate gifts for the Seattle, Tacoma, and Puget Sound regions. We offer an assortment of gift ideas, such as embroidered caps, beanies, plush blankets, and Carhartt jackets. Custom embroidered products can be used to welcome, thank, or recognize business associates, customers, and employees.

​We suggest subtle embroidered logos on the items you will give to customers to avoid splashing advertising of your logo. Remember, this is about your client and not flashing your logo in their face. Flashy and oversized logos are great for workers on job sites or trade shows where you want them to become human billboards. Keep your logo subtle by using tonal-colored embroidered threads, so when your client shows off their gift to others, they will know who gave it to them. Investing in quality custom embroidered apparel is one of the most cost-effective ways to build business relationships. 

​Custom apparel that is functional on the job site and makes life comfortable will be appreciated and remembered. A quality t-shirt will stay in your client's shirt drawer for years and be worn repeatedly. The delivery method of your gift is critical so the client will appreciate and remember the gift-receiving experience. We suggest delivering the gift in person to further cement the human connection with the client. If you can't give it in person, you can put it in a lovely gift box and mail it to your client. Northwest Custom Apparel sells fully customizable gift boxes packed with embroidered apparel that you select to make a memorable experience for your client. 
Our experienced staff at NW Custom Apparel can help you find the perfect gift for your Seattle, Washington, clients. Call us at 1-800-851-3671 to start your holiday gift package.
