Thank you so much! I’m so glad watched your tutorial. Will definitely keep my eyes open for your videos!!
I absolutely love your tutorials! I first started watching the cricut ones, but I'm so glad I watched this one, as I want to give myself a variety for printing styles for my designs
Upon seeing this video, I was very critical and thought there are hundreds of videos like this out there. Why do I need to watch this one? I am so glad I watched this video. I didn’t know how to load my printer and I have an Epson with the top feed. And I didn’t know I could just cut it out and not have to use my cricket which I am brand new and don’t even know how to use yet. I give this video two thumbs up.

Apparently, the software is absolutely awesome as well! Here's to hoping my 'someday' goal of getting myself a StarCraft Solo will be SOONer rather than LATEr! It's all Mr. Crafty Pants' fault for showing it so much in his tutorials!! I have been rrsearching it since I first seen him use a SOLO!! lol I cant wait to get my SOLO!

Thanks so much for sharing!! Do you know what I can do to stop my prints from fading ? When I print an image in to my Tshirts, the whole background of my image becomes the same color of my Tshirts, and my print isn’t showing up vibrant as the print
Hello, I’m new to all this, question… I did exactly how you showed us and my image seeped through, what did I do wrong???
Do they not make this in larger format for printers like Epson ET - 8550
love this!! the heat transfer mask...... where do we get it and is it reusable?
Can I use sublimation ink or regular ink
does this work on sublimation ink?
What type of heat tranfer mask are you using? I have used a making tape kind and it pulled most fo the ink off my image after i pressed it
I found a printable heat transfer from (Donkey Craft vinyl) which it is a vinyl trust me i love it PLEASE TRY AND DO A REVIEW ON IT😊
Is there a way to do this with a puff finish?
Question, I have an Epson printer I use for sublimation. I want to make some t shirts. Can I use that ink? Also I have a regular hp envy inkjet printer with regular printing ink, can I use that ink?
Are you using regular inkjet ink or sublimation ink?
Can I use any inkjet printer and any color in the printer? Do they have to be special colors?
Does it have to be on cotton? Or can I do it on polyester as my son don't like cotton he likes the slick feel of his shirt
Where do you find the images that are easy print and cut for dark shirts.
Where do you get your shirts
I have used DTV products many times & I got a few complaints about color bleeding through the image or the image falls off prior to washing it, any suggestions what I could be doing wrong?
I have a brothers business printer I want to convert it can I use any ink after converting
Do the sshirts need to be polyester still or can we use these on cotton shirts
What printer are you using
Wow!! Thanks!! How would this work on a 100% polyester shirt? Temp and Time?

Thanks for the tutorial!! 💕 How long would you say it lasts? In my experience, no more than 4 washes : (
@starcraftvinyl

If you wash in cold water, avoid bleach & fabric softener, and hang dry, it should last as long as the shirt itself. 😊
What kind of material do you need for this kind of type of papers did the shirt have to be 100% cotton or I had to be 100% polyester I hope that you can answer me that question I really appreciate you doing the tutorial so thank you so much for helping me 🤗🌹🦋

I’ve never run into this issue before, but when trying to download the file first there is no preview and then it tells me it 112M and too large to scan for virus. Is this file actually 112M ?
Thanks for the tutorial! I’ve used another brand of printable vinyl I’ll to get the StarCraft one for my next purchase. Also, mask is this is the 1st tutorial I’ve seen that mentions using a “mask” for those pesky little pieces; I used a design that had some which I removed-didn’t want to add a background because it looked so silly and weeding/placing a them was tedious. Is it standard transfer tape?
@starcraftvinyl
3 ай бұрын
Great question! A heat transfer mask is not transfer tape, but instead a form of a sticky carrier sheet that can be used with heat. You can purchase heat transfer masks from various retailers or you could also reuse the sticky carrier sheet from HTV if you’d like. 😊

That’s a great question! Vinegar should be okay, but you may want to do a small test run with it first. 😊
Hi, to be able to print HTV, does the printer has to be inkjet and do I need a different type of ink or can I use the ink it brings with the printer? Because I would just like to use my printer how I normally use it to print and just buy the HTV paper just like that but, I’m wondering if it will work once I try to use a heat press, would the image automatically transfer to anything like shirts or anything else?

@starcraftvinyl

You can absolutely use a Cricut EasyPress, just make sure you’re applying adequate pressure for the type of material. Extra firm pressure for the Heat Transfers for light materials and medium to firm pressure for the Heat Transfers for dark materials. Hope that helps! 😊
Does the sublimation process work on either of these transfers?

That’s a good question! We haven’t tried sublimating on these materials, but that sounds like something Mr. Crafty Pants would love to try. 😊 You can always print directly on them with inkjet printer ink if not.

Hi!!! My problem with using this was when i had several pieces and it wasn't just one solid design. It made for peeling and placing it down in my shirt.

As long as the heat transfer mask is still relatively clean and sticky enough then you can definitely use it. You can also reuse the sticky carrier sheets from HTV. 😊

The Printable Heat Transfers can’t be layered directly on top of other types of HTV, but you could always slice the shape of the design you’re using on the Printable Heat Transfer out of the design you’re wanting for HTV. Doing it that way will give you the appearance that they’re directly layered on top of each other, but in reality, the Printable Heat Transfer is coming in direct contact with the fabric and not the HTV. 😊
