How to purchase and print SVG/PNG files from Etsy.com. In this video we'll be using PPD Transfer paper to print and press. We will also be using a Cricut Explore Air 2 to print and cut. I hope you guys find this video helpful. I tried my best to include as much information as I could without making a super long video.

2024 and I'm watching for the first time with my 📓 and 🖊. I really hope to get started tonight!

[@AustinsLab_]

Yaaayyy! Let me know if you have any questions

[@debriddle2]

Thank you for this helpful tutorial! Also, your kiddo is super cute and you are so lovely. Thank you for being “real” in your video, but the good Lord made you beautiful with or without makeup. 😊 The powder brought back a memory for me. My son is an amazing dad of 3 now, but as a young teenager he somehow got wood stain all over my laundry room. I couldn’t get mad, he was trying to do woodworking like his grandpa. Kids sure make life interesting.

[@AustinsLab_]

Aww thank you so much. Your comment made me smile. I'm glad I was able to help. Thank you so much for watching. And by the way I still have powder in places I can't reach in my office, lol.

@@AustinsLab_what would you call this? I have just started and have been buying DTF prints but I have used this a few times. Trying to start my page and wondering if it’s almost the same as sublimation or not? Thank you!

[@AustinsLab_]

@@thaliaann5223 This is iron on transfer paper. It's not sublimation. This specific paper is compatible with inkjet printers only. If you're already ordering dtf prints then you're on the right path for your business. The iron on paper wouldn't be ideal for business considering the longevity.

Hi, Im still watching your video and I am enjoying watching it! I love the way you explain things from the start...very realistic and very informative on ecery details you do from printing to cutting! I have done all this as a new crafter and hobbyist mama trying to make crafts and sell to help make some income. Im hoping that I will one day be making a lot of designs on shirts and drinking wares. Thank you so much! I love the Baby powder smoke your son's imagination lol. Love it! Godbless! I will finish watching your videos. Subcribed and following you now.

Thank you so much for watching. Im glad i could help. It comes in a matte finish.

[@tamiekalockhart1073]

It was a great tutorial but you did not include that we need parchment paper as well. For someone that is brand new they won’t know to use parchment paper. Overall it was a good tutorial

[@AustinsLab_]

You're right I didn't mention it thanks. I showed it in the video but yes someone new might miss that step. Also the PPD Transfer paper has clear instructions inside along with a piece of parchment paper. Thank you so much or watching and feedback.

[@RanBee-k6o]

Such a great video, thank you!! Does this heat transfer paper hold up well over time?

[@AustinsLab_]

@@RanBee-k6o Honestly I wouldn't use it for something I'd wear all the time. Easycolor dtv is better for longevity.

[@Lea-tg9et]

Hi! Just curious if it would’ve been any easier if the images had been mirrored prior to printing. Or is there a reason to not mirror? Thanks!

[@AustinsLab_]

Hey Lea. Ok so because this paper is printed upright, you wouldn't want to mirror because it would be backwards. The only time you want to mirror is if you're cutting or printing on the adhesive side/ back side. Like vinyl, we cut on the adhesive side so, therfore it needs to read backwards so when we place it face down it reads correctly. I hope this makes sense. I know on the light colors printer paper you mirror because you're printing on the adhesive side. And that has to placed print side down. Let me know if that makes sense.

[@FourCornersCustomProducts-4CCP]

Have you tried it yet?

[@nicolecampbell6815]

hello question, I am trying to figure out how to print the text in the order it is on my image verses it printed or cutting in random order. can you help with this?

[@AustinsLab_]

You need to weld it or attach it or flatten for print and cut so that when you choose make, it'll keep it all together.

[@AustinsLab_]

Let me know if that made sense

[@sharondalane473]

Which printer are you using

[@AustinsLab_]

Canon ts version. Just a regular inkjet.

[@lakeviapatterson1083]

Hello Ashley, this video has been a big help as a cricut beginner. Do you follow these same steps for PNG files?

[@AustinsLab_]

Yes you can follow the same steps. Just make sure the png files have clean edges and is of high resolution. If the edges aren't that clean you can fix them in Adobe software or cricut by adding an outline around it using a shape.

[@lakeviapatterson1083]

@@AustinsLab_ thank you, I have been sticking to dtf transfers until I get the hang of doing my own designs. I saw your video and purchased some SVG/PNG files for my daughter.

[@lakeviapatterson1083]

Ashley, is there a way to message you? I attempted to follow these steps today. When I got to the cut part it asked about calibrating, then it couldn't calibrate. I'm sure I did something wrong lol

does it matter what type of printer you have?

As long as it's an inkjet you'll be fine. Not for sublimation ink tho.

[@angelinacavanaugh5209]

I dont have a cricut but someone told me i can still use Design Space...i tried this and its saying i need to have one connected in order to print...help pls lol

[@AustinsLab_]

No you don't have to be connected to print. I do this all the when I just want to print a photo to cut by hand. When you upload it, proceed to make. Then the print to cut will appear. Click on send to printer. It's free software.

Thank you for this video! I’ve been wanting to try something like this but had no clue were to start. One question though this in no way will ruin my printer for normal printing right? I just want to make sure since I’m new to all this and need my printer on the daily for homeschooling 😅

[@AustinsLab_]

Nope I use my printer for normal printing all the time. The ppd is smooth and glides just like regular paper so shouldn't cause any issues.

[@AustinsLab_]

Yep! Pretty much the same as the ppd dark. And thank you so much for watching.

[@ChristyatNepenthe]

Thanks!

[@juliapierce577]

I tried this with a svg with letters and the Circuit was ripping the letters from the printed paper. What would you recommend? The letters are separated.

[@AustinsLab_]

Sometimes the blade has residue on it. I found that balling up a piece of foil and stabbing the ball of foil with the blade helps clean it and sharpen it a little. Also what setting did you use to cut? Adjusting the cut setting helps as well. Someone told me that the washy tape setting worked for them.

[@LadyHype821]

Same thing happened to me.. I’m trying to find a solution as well

[@tonyrayvito1414]

Any clue as to why my cricut isn't doing the entire outline black square box before i print? it's only doing the 4 corners outlined.

[@AustinsLab_]

Cricut has updated its software. Mine does the 4 registration marks in the corners now too.

I love your step by step!!! Where did u buy the paper ?

[@x0xLuxuriiousx0x]

Can this be used with a Cricut press.?

[@AustinsLab_]

Yes

[@nkosiengwenya]

Hello there. Did you use a dark transfer paper on a white t-shirt?

[@AustinsLab_]

Yes I did. I buy those because you can use on dark and light. However, I wouldn't recommend anymore because PPD does not hold up well. I've printed on dark too and after a few washes it looks terrible. I need to do an update to this video.

[@BkNailzz]

Question did u say u used regular inkjet printer that comes with the printer or this printer sub printer with special ink u used

[@AustinsLab_]

Yes a regular desktop inkjet printer.

[@BkNailzz]

@@AustinsLab_ oh, OK thank you for that. I thought you use like a sublimation printer with the special ink because the printer that I have is the same one you have but I thought you had to change the ink in order for you to print cartoons or whatever item that you want.

[@AustinsLab_]

@@BkNailzz Nope! That specific paper and most print then cut paper works with inkjet. However I do have a epson ecotank printer I use specifically for sublimation.

[@BkNailzz]

@@AustinsLab_ oh, OK cause I was gonna go on Amazon and order the paper and put it in the Internet since I have ink in there that I have never used because I wanted to do this cartoon character but I was afraid that if I was to order the paper and the parchment paper, but it wasn’t gonna come out like the way you did it I thought you was using a sublimation printer like the Epson. I’m upgrade soon for an absence soon I just trying to figure out another way before I start doing that but I’m a go ahead on Amazon and order the the the transfer paper and the portion paper so I can do that logo that I need to do since you say that I don’t need to have a sublimation printer. Thank you.

So in order to know what size the print should be you'd have to measure the desired area on the tshirt. I'm not certain if that's what you were asking?

Morning, what's the difference between buying the image from Etsy or searching for the picture of Google? Is the quality any different?

[@AustinsLab_]

Buying files from Etsy is ideal for people who dont want to, or do not have the skill to make the design themselves. In most cases the Etsy files are of good quality. Finding images on Google works as well. However you'd have to know how to clean up those images and convert them into the right file format for print.
