Your video was very helpful. I have a Cricut Explore Air 2. I don't have rice paper setting on my machine's list so I used the Washi Tape setting and it worked great and gave it a kiss cut so it cut through the first layer with the image but not through the bottom paper layer and was easy to separate the two.
I just got mine for both light and dark colors. I just love it. I did a test on a $$ tree shit using the dark sheet. The colors are so bright. It is completely sealed and did use an iron.
Hello thank you for the video. Would it be easier if you weeded the negative space first? Then pull off the image that you need to press. Whats the wear and tear on the starcraft
No you would be doing the same thing and struggling to get it off. Wear and tear is good. I will be washing this shirt several times and plan to do an update video on how its washed and held up
@@moonfairy1707 Because I have spoken with the manufacture of the product I follow their suggestions. Also I can reuse part of the paper if I don't peel the back. but as it always is with crafting. whatever work for you! :) Happy crafting
@@CorinneBlackstone You're right. For the purpose of reusing the unprinted part, it would be most practical to do it the way you did :) And yes, everyone works differently. What's important is that "it works", regardless of how it's done :D
I’m sorry I commented on the wrong video but I’m just tryna make a t shirt but someone said that Neenah 3g jet was just transfer heat paper and that printable htv would be better I’m just tryna figure out is heat transfer paper the same thing as printable heat transfer vinyl ??????
I have never in my life heard of anything called heat transfer paper so I dont know. I know that starcraft is a great quality product and it lasts. But as for that other brand I have no idea
The Starcraft printable HTV instructions state to peel off when hot. Have you tried using this process? Is it necessary to mirror if there is writing on the image? Thanks!
It may be the image you are using but you can try going into your preferences and under more is a color option you choose custom and you can try brightening but you may be better off editing pre printing.
I want to buy the carrier sheet because. When I remove the image and put it under my heat press machine. my heat press does not more the plate to the side. Mine just lifts up. And my image starts to curl up because of the heat. So where can I buy the one u have? Thanks
Great tutorial. I tried something similar with a different htv. Do you need sublimation ink for that? I didnt have as much luck with a different vinyl. After I pressed it the picture turned almost white...
michelle burnham Bleed extends the color slightly so that when your cricut cuts the image, even if the cut is slightly off, there will not be any white showing around your image.
Hi! I absolutely loved your video but have a question... the instruction sheets say to mirror the image but didn’t see you do that. I don’t need to mirror the image correct?
@@CorinneBlackstone oh no I meant like the same mask you use when you’re using sticker vinyl. It looks just like that clear mask you put over it. You know what I mean? And by one piece you mean the whole sheets of paper? Anyway thank you for your reply I appreciate it!
@@CorinneBlackstone oh ok haha wasn’t sure if was saying it right. By chance do you know where I can buy this mask? Or can I use left over mask that comes with heat transfer vinyl? I have a cameo and I vinyl a lot of this and I always have left over htv masks
@@ISetMyFriendsOnFire you can reuse as long as they are clean. Make sure they don’t have glitter on them or dirt and hair. You can buy the mask at www.143vinyl.com/heat-transfer-mask-12-x-15-sheet.html?partner=196113 use code CORINNE and you can save 5%
Hi there I wanted to know if I could add the sticker or the laminate and place it on a shirt like you did with the toy story and green sports car video??
It works in all inkjet printers. Jamming is an issue with some printers on any kind of paper. Be sure to check your printer settings you may need to change it to a thicker paper
hi i just got a cricut and want to try a printable htv what kind of ink do i purchase for my printer regular ink sorry maybe a dumb questions but i have no clue
Rice paper to cut the htv and the carrier sheet is not necessary with a solid image like this but I wanted to show how it worked for people who might have something with a few pieces
I’m not understanding what people mean when they say that the mask doesn’t have to be used if the picture is one piece. What that means to me is that you would weed the picture and set it on the short then press. Yet I see people still put another layer of something, possibly the “mask”, when finally using the heat press. So in my perspective it sounds like you need a mask period and if not the. When you press the HTV it will melt without the “mask”. Is this true or not? Also when you printed on the printable HTV did you use regular printer ink or sublimation ink? I get mixed info unless it’s either about what ink to use. Some say use sublimation ink while in your video it looked like you used regular printer ink. Is it one or the other or is it both?
This is done using inkjet ink. And the mask you see people use it parchment paper or a Teflon sheet that is not a mask but something that should be used with all htv products to protect the press from the htv
Hey Corinne. Starcraft printable. Can I do a picture with the Starcraft and use HTV VINYL FOR A WORK. if so how would you do it. Since that are not the same material??? What I mean is which one to e first and the time and then the second one.
I used Avery tonight on a T-shirt for my daughters birthday and it worked great. However! You do need to either use the Cricut to do a print and cut or if you're doing it by hand, cut against the image as close as you can or you will see a lot of adhesive. But it was easy to use. I have an EasyPress 2, so I did 400 degrees for 30 seconds with the press directly over the transfer sheet. Do not use a cover sheet, it needs direct contact with the press. I do want to try Starcraft at some point though.
@@CorinneBlackstone I need to print and cut on non HTV printable vinyl to make decals to decorate my lap top and maker Is 143 vinyl a good product ir should I buy sticker Paoer. Thanks
@@gentryluz Starcraft is great for this they have printable vinyl but I also really like neato and they are having a sale 50% off sale MARCH50 to save 50% on their packs of 10 www.neatolabels.com/?rfsn=5361555.8adf54
I didnt mirror because this product is not to be mirrored. And the heat press I think in this video is my old one which I hated. If it's the mint one it's from www.651vinyl.com/heat-presses/?partner=196113
Amazing. I've washed this shirt a ton to test it and it only faded a tiny bit after about 20 washes and its been the same ever since. Its washed every time I do laundry so at least once a week since this video was made
I used the starcraft HTV and I got a little water droplet on the picture after it was already put on the tshirt and it ran. Any suggestions on what I did wrong?
Hi, I’m learning and I was directed to your video. I have a question. I’m looking for the HTV Carrier Sheet you said you placed on top of Simba before you pressed it. What is the actual name of that sheet. When I went to 143 site and entered in “HTV Carrier Sheets” it came back with sheets in all diff colors. So can you help with that please. Like I said, I’m fresh out the water with this type of stuff. Thanks in advance!
Corrine, have you ever saved the wasted pieces and used them for smaller print/cut projects? I am wondering if you can tape it on blank paper,hummmmmm.
Will this stuff work if I have a picture that doesn’t connect? I bought heat transfer tape but bought the wrong printable vinyl do you think this would help my issue. I’m trying to make shirts but all the pictures I’m using need to be transferred onto the shirt because they don’t connect. If anyone can help that would be awesome
@@CorinneBlackstone do you recommend the Starcraft one because I bought the PDD one off Amazon and I’m not sure it will work. I’m confused I thought heat transfer tape would work with this printable vinyl and I keep buying the wrong printable vinyl
@@andrewbeard2261 heat transfer mask is not heat tape. Heat tape is really more for sublimation. I would get the stuff that is listed with the Starcraft honestly it works great
@@CorinneBlackstone would you recommend this product if I was to make over 100 shirts for a family reunion? Sorry I'm new at this and I have a silhouette Cameo that I'm still trying to get used to
Hello, im super confused on what kind of paper to buy. Okay, so I want to put my schools logo on my masks. So should I use this Starcraft paper and what kind of paper did you put over it before you pressed? I am using a Cricut
Its linked in the description. Its starcraft printable htv found here 651vinyl.com/?partner=196113 you want to put parchment paper or a teflon sheet between the design and your heat source
I just watched a video and they said you really can’t use a easy press because you can’t get the pressure you need? Thank you for the video it was great
Not helpful for a beginner like myself, you literally went from weeding to putting the image on the heat press, not showing what you used as a carrier sheet. I'll look elsewhere for tips.
Also I do speak about heat transfer mask and the need for it. We didnt even need to use it on this image. It's more used if you have an image that is multiple parts. With a large solid image it's not a needed stepm
