Did you ever want to print a full image on a dark garment but didn't know where to start? In this video, we were excited to finally test heat transfer vinyl (htv) on dark t-shirts and got surprising results. Although you can't sublimate directly on 100% cotton, if you have a heat press, with a little practice, you'll be able to use white HTV as a background to create amazing graphics that will completely change the look of your t-shirt! With this technique, you'll be able to create graphics that are sure to impress your friends and customers!
