How to Use Printable Heat Transfer Vinyl

[@rebecarod1475]

Any time I need a point of reference, I come to your channel. In the seven months I’ve been on my creativity journey, you’ve taught me much. Thank you for the useful content.

Angie, you are my hero, I just got my new printer connected and ready to try HTV. Just found out about printable HTV and your video answered all my questions and showed me exactly what I need to get started. Thank you so much, you have a new subscriber that has a silhouette.

This is awesome! Your instructions and projects were perfectly understandable (which I really enjoy watching your tutorials)! I never really understand printable heat transfer vinyl until now and I am envisioning a lot more projects with this method. I don't understand sublimation so this is perfect for my needs. Thank you so much, Angie!

[@AngieHolden]

[@Diana-sr5ub]

I wish you had talked a little more about the printing. Like can I use any printer ? Is there a special ink needed?

[@AngieHolden]

This vinyl is for inkjet printers with regular ink installed.

This is great news. So I can use my regular printer instead of my sublimation printer?

So I don't need an extra pinter AND sublimation ink AND sublimation paper to put a desing on fabric??? That's GREAT! Thank you so much for your video. It helped me clarify all my doubts! You're the best!

Yes you can get this same look on fabric. Please note that this will not last as long as sublimation.

I stumbled upon your video and it answered all the questions I had and I really like that you showed troubleshooting attempts when things were a little more stubborn. Definitely made me more confident to try this. Thank you for such a helpful video!

Glad it helped

[@gentlegnt]

I have yet to see a more professional and helpful video with varying materials and processes than yours. Thank you SOO much! I am confused on how the product manufacturers word their material. It says it's Printable VINYL...but, it seems to be more of a printable fabric material as opposed to actual vinyl-but, that may just be my perception. Thanks again for this video-extremely helpful. :-)

[@AngieHolden]

Yes it is printable heat transfer vinyl. It is basically a vinyl with an adhesive on the back that is heat activated and works on fabric.

[@laurelsmith1576]

I've wasted so much vinyl because the backing will not separate from my printed image! I called my local shop and requested a different brand because of this. I'm glad to see you had difficulty with it also (not just me lol) and I will try the solution you had but it takes forever with some designs to do that with individual letters, etc. Also, when you don't use transfer tape the image curls up and before you can center it on heat press it is ruined (from the heat)! So frustrating! However, thanks for this video - I will keep trying! Guess I need to break out the easy press instead?

[@AngieHolden]

I think I would use transfer tape if I wanted individual letters. That is way more complicated than just picking and placing one image!

[@janwebster3749]

Thank you so much for that info I have my Grandsons tea shirts sitting looking at me but my first attempt was more than rustic. Watching you do all those test has really helped Me understand more so hey ho I will give it a go.👍

You can do it!

[@annezrap7280]

Love your videos - super clear and complete. I usually have to rewind and listen to videos several times but with your videos, I can absorb it on the first run through. I appreciate that! Question: when you say "cool completely" do you mean 15 minutes or so?

[@AngieHolden]

I literally just cool until it feels cool to the touch. I would say 10 to 15 minutes.

I really like shirt that you're wearing in this video. The colors are so vivid. Can you please tell me which materials and method you used to create it? Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@AngieHolden]

I purchased that many years ago!

[@oluwabunmilonge9267]

Great content, I enjoyed it but i think its uneven or unequal pressure that gave the wood design rusty look, may be you should try it on fabric and work on the pressure, if u will get d same result. I haven't use starcraft before but I have use forever product for both light n dark materials and I got great result with heat press.

[@AngieHolden]

I would say this is correct but there will always be uneven pressure on wood as the surface is never completely flat. The fabric pieces all worked fine.

[@ingridaguilar1605]

I love this. I just can’t figure out how to cut it on Cricut, what is the setting for the Cricut for this type of paper?

[@AngieHolden]

I usually start with the vinyl or iron on setting and adjust from there for any new product.

[@TomSignor-n4i]

Angie - thanks for the great information. I just subscribed and have found your videos to be SO helpful. I have a quick question - when using wood, have you found anyway to make the result not so "rustic" and more crisp and clear the way the transfers look on fabric?

[@AngieHolden]

I have not with this material. I have used tattoo paper to transfer images to wood with good luck. However, the wood grain always shows through so it is a bit "farmhouse" by nature.

[@RainorShine1]

Wonder how this would look as labels for sewing projects.

[@danielleleamey6721]

Great video but why didn't you compare by using white printable htv on light/dark material too? Would that not have been a true comparison? Just wondering because I was most curious about the light printable being used!

The light printable is not meant for dark fabrics.

[@klinglerjr]

In my experience in the distant past, ink jet printer ink couldn't handle getting wet. Is it the type of ink you are using or the Starcraft product that keeps the ink from running when wet? Since you're putting this on clothing, it has to be washable.

[@AngieHolden]

Washing instructions are: turn garment inside out, wash in cold water with mild detergent, do not bleach. Dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron directly on transfer. I don't know what the magic is but is is washable.

[@debischneider6843]

Jon Starcraft also has a printable Adhesive that handles water well too! Perhaps we at Direct Vinyl Supply can send her some of that soon!

[@stephiemeg]

What heat transfer material would you recommend if we want to avoid including white backgrounds for more intricate/complex designs or outlines around images?

[@AngieHolden]

You can just use regular HTV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4SZda2OmpqjbJY

Thanks a million ! You reckon i can use this on leather? i just need to iron on small flag images on white leather.. so nothing big just tiny images. If yes, which would be better white or dark? is this any different from heat transfer paper?

It should work on leather. I would use the dark I think. And it is different than heat transfer paper. The printable HTV lasts longer.

It varies by brand. I would peel back the corner. If there is a carrier sheet over the top, mirror and use it like usual. If there isn't, you need to not mirror and cut then use a heat resistant transfer tape.

My printable HTV designs always bleed after I was fabric. I don’t use fabric softener and I wash them many days after I ironed it on the t-shirts. I’ve tried putting mod podge for fabric on top and they still bleed. Any suggestions for sealing my printable HTV? Do they sell clear HTV that I can iron on top? I’m using epson EcoTank et4800 with ink that it came with, 522 which I recently learned it’s dye. That’s the ink that printer calls for. I don’t know if it’s ok to switch to 502 ink which is pigment.

I must use sublimation. or what's wrong Angie? please help. thank you

[@lhodeniz]

I got my wrong step...it should be printed on "Pigment Ink Only"

I think this is heat transfer paper rather than heat transfer vinyl. The washing instructions reinforce the thought. Does it come off after after about 25-30 washes? Also does it feel soft/rubbery to the touch or papery?

This is heat transfer vinyl. I think you are referencing a t-shirt transfer. This is a different product all together.

@@AngieHolden The thing is, to print on proper HTV, you need to use latex ink. Standard inkjet printers don't work, which is why I was confused when you said vinyl. On the starcraft page it calls it "heat transfer material"

Is there a special ink you have to use with your inkjet with the printable vinyl?

The siser mask should work with DTV. maybe let it dry longer?

How do you think clothes using htv prints would last after a couple washes. I’m think about starting a T-shirt business with this method?

[@AngieHolden]

So far so good. I am sure sublimation would last longer but these are doing well. I would included washing/drying instructions with them if I was selling them.

Angie Holden A lot of people are saying to not start selling clothes with transfer paper because it’s not good quality. My only concern is if the image will come off after a wash or even a accidental heavy wash.

Wondering if you could maybe buy like 5 shirts and make them for yourself then spend a few days washing them a BUNCH of times and see what happens? Then you could tell people exactly how they will stand up!

Angie Holden yea that’s what I’m doing right now. Still in the washing faze tho. Am a little nervous though lol
