why when I put the box over the word do I not get the "lock" box in the corner...I just get the arrows to adjust the size and then slice still isn't available?
I’m not sure about the lock box - are you using the app rather than desktop? Then for slice you need to make sure both the wording and box are definitely selected.
Im looking for pinted vinyl supplier who prints on that breathable vinyl. Its got to be better than this uv dtf, but i need to scuff & clear coat for best result. Any expansion contraction, also with any prolonged heat will see faults with the uv dtf.
Yes that’s right, with no background. I’ve actually started using Illustrator since I made this video though and saving it as an SVG and that is a bit of a quicker process.
At the moment I’m making decals for my business mostly on a Siser Juliet - this can cut 12 inches wide, and then when I use vinyl rolls, it can cut really long, but I tend to cut about 45 inches max length at a time.
You can yes, you will need a transparent png if you want to cut out of vinyl or htv, or you can add an offset and flatten if you want to make a sticker.

It's not something I have tested, but I would say no as the ones I had weren't super flexible, and also they're a bit raised, so I don't think they would work quite as well as when vinyl is added to vehicles.
1 season & its splitting on my glass. Not good for outdoors, same experience on magnet cover sheets. Waxing did not help much to prolong it. Im part of a group, & they dont want you to know. Heat dries it out quicker, & lacks flexibility indeed.
I have tried the things you mention, even moving the right roller a bit more to the left. Sometimes the vinyl moves so far it is no longer under a roller and just goes crazy so it's trash. Of course I lock it down each time but it's as if it is not locked. By the way, what brand of vinyl do you use? I used to use DeTape from MDP in UK and it was great! But they will no longer ship to Italy. Is Oracal also a good brand? I bought a roll on Amazon and it is horrible. Very difficult to weed, sometimes damaging the characters. Thanks for a great video!
I was having the same problem with my older cameo 4 so I ended up getting rid of it - no matter what I did it ended up wasting so much vinyl, it’s so frustrating! Perhaps contact Silhouette and see if they have any new tips for troubleshooting? My newer Cameo 4 works much better but I now use my Siser Juliet so much more so I’m thinking of getting rid of that one too. I use Ritrama from MDP. That’s a shame that they don’t ship to you anymore. I have used Oracal and haven’t had any issues with it, and a lot of people recommend it. But saying that, I have mostly cut it on my cricut rather than my Cameo so that may have something to do with it. Have you tried Siser Easy PSV? They are an Italian company so I’m assuming they may have an Italian site to purchase from or an Italian distributor? And you’re very welcome, thanks for watching!
@@VinylDecalSchool Thank you! If I decide to replace my Cameo 4, would you recommend the Cricut rather than getting a newer Cameo 4? I purchased this one in 2020.
No it’s not the same app, you need a different one for desktop. If you google Cricut design space using the computer you want to use, then it should take you to a page that will give you the correct link to download Design Space for desktop.
@@VinylDecalSchoolI a tuly meant which transfer tape, sorry, had a Lapsus. I recently tried this and the transfer tape stuck to and peel off the cover. Such a sad waste!!
@@michelevelladistefano1139 Oh ok I used a medium tack transfer tape, but my scrapbook had a pretty hard cardboard cover. So with a thinner cover, I would probably try masking tape or transfer paper instead, something with a low tack basically.
@@michelevelladistefano1139 no, just that it is more of a paper texture than tape, similar to masking tape. So you still have to make sure you are selecting a low tack type. With paper, it is very difficult to find something that will apply vinyl without ripping it unfortunately.
No this isn’t tattoo paper and you couldn’t apply it to skin - you can get temporary tattoo paper that you can use with print and cut though, just look for inkjet tattoo paper online.
@@manishchauhan9495 Yes it is quite expensive to just buy on somewhere like Amazon - it's £8 for 5 sheets here in the UK. If you wanted to sell them, you may be able to get it from a wholesale supplier, but I'm not 100% who would do that really.
I do too - there is so much to keep up with :) It stands for UV-Direct Transfer I believe as they are designs printed on a UV printer that you can directly transfer.
I just have a Canon Pixma which works well for me, but it's not really my area of expertise - if you think you might want to eventually use it for anything to sell I would look at some sticker business videos as they usually have good printer recommendations.
@@manishabocus668 I don't sorry, all of the ones I watched when I was choosing a printer are super old so will probably be out of date now. Sure you will manage to find some good more up to date ones though!
