Great video, short and sweet! Do you know if you can use a dry mounting press to apply the vinyl to a shirt?

[@gtggg0]

Just wanted to say great video no rubbish just exactly what I needed great content fella and I appreciate the help !!!!

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Glad it helped

[@saigemills9113]

Does transfer vinyl usually come with a clear backing?

[@bhutch216]

Saige Mills all HTV have a plastic laminate on the front. Some have a paper backing and others have no backing at all.

Hi,if your machine don't reach 300? Can it still do the vinyl heat press?

[@samking618]

My question is regarding Reflective heat transfer sheet. The problem is once its washed, looks like the print is loosing its reflective ability (NOT peeling off, print area is intact still) Is it due to washing conditions or it isnit pressed properly? I think I press it like 3 to 5 sec, should I press for 10-15 sec to avoid it? Or its just due to wash?

I am having a black vinyl too but where do you get that easy wave vinyl or that transparent paper attached name & number

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Your standard Siser or Thermoflex vinyl will have the clear backing. The numbers were cut on our plotter.

Bit late to the game😂 but how do you know how long you have to heat press designs from small design to full tshirt size???

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

The vinyl manufacturer will have recommended temps, pressure, and time. I generally do 315º for 10-15 seconds with a firm pressure.

[@NMmWiLA]

Whats the brand of this heat press you using?

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

We are currently using this press amzn.to/36E0yCS

Thanks for video…my brain is not processing why my letters are backwards. I was told to lay down shiny side of vinyl on mat when cutting but when I do this the letters are fine but when I go to lay on T. it’s going to be backwards. What I’m I doing incorrectly. Thanks

[@becca3185]

You need to mirror your cut

[@heavenorwilliams8609]

@@becca3185 I ended up figuring it out…thank you 😃

[@lovaboo2189]

So do I have to get a vinal cutter if I do it like this?

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Not necessarily. You could always purchase vinyl already cut from Stahls.com

Happy days very informative

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Thank you!

[@rachaelrisk8511]

What happens if I don't use the teflon sheets please.

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

You'll more than likely melt the plastic and it will stick to the iron.

[@louragalvan6420]

Great video .. thanks 🙌🙏

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

My pleasure!

[@lesleyellison6908]

What temperature

[@isafuenteslopez6910]

How come my vinly stickers stayed stuck to the clear transfer ppr

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Sounds like you need more heat and the vinyl isn't adhering to the garment.

[@tommiepoff6424]

Where do you get your decals

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

We plot them ourselves. Thanks for watching.

[@Lindamartinez379]

Can you use any type of t-shirt ?

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Any will do, but you have to select the appropriate HTV. For the most part, Gildan is a good one, Alternative Apparel, Bella Canvas to name a few.

[@DEADATO]

[@michaelloomis6424]

Do you use a Cricut to make designs?

[@dennisnderitu1602]

What is the name of the font ??

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Believe it's called collegiate or university.

[@mahfouzrubber]

How can make like this

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

The transfers? I use a Graphtec plotter.

[@paulmay6013]

Under normal washing standards how long will this graphic remain intact on the shirt?

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

If done properly, it'll outlast the shirt.

[@techtinkerin]

305 f I assume

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

For 10-15 seconds.
