 ## Prepare your work
 
-Although the machine has some built-in designs (and a basic text inout), you will probably want to use your own. You will need to prepare everything on your computer first, the machine is very limited in what it can do. You can only scale a couple of percentages, but you can move the design around.

 The embroidery machine needs a `.pes` file to work. The way we advise to do this is to use [InkStitch](https://inkstitch.org/). This is a free and open-source extension for Inkscape. It allows you to create `.pes` files from `.svg` files. Do check the [Workflow](https://inkstitch.org/docs/workflow/) because it is a bit different from what you might be used to.

-## Preparation
+## In short
+
+To be able to paint with the plotter, we include the dipping in the paint as if it was a piece of the drawing itself. This way, the plotter will dip the brush in the paint and can continue painting. To make this work, we need to follow these steps:
+
+## Artwork preparation
+
+- As always, you need a [vector file consisting out of paths.](../general/01-preparation)
+- Group all the paths into their specific color layer. There is an option in Illutstrator to select everything based on a specific color.
+  - TODO: could this be done with a script?
+- Name the layers with the color you want to use. We've experienced that we need the following additional steps to make the dipping script work:
+  - Open the SVG in Inkscape
+  - Make shure that the layers are effectively layers. (Mayebe you need to do a right-click → make layer)
+  - Right-click on a layer, pick 'Rename layer' and double-check if the name is correct. Sometimes it just says 'Layer 1' or something like that.
+
+Prepare your artwork: group all the paths into their specific color layer.
