Happy to help!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤ I can't afford a lazer printer.😢 I've been wanting to put a photo on a hoodie for a long time - a birthday gift for my brother. But I've been unclear about what products and how to do it all. I've had my Cricut for a couple of years but kinda lost motivation, so it's been sitting... I have several garments packed safely away, HOPING to one day figure it all out. I'm so glad I ran across your tutorial this morning! I love your methods of teaching!👌 And I'm also very happy I'm catching the printable vinyl on SALE!!👍 🎉 Thank you so much. I'll be continuing to watch your channel. 😊
Yay!! Happy to help!
Great video Angie!
Thank you!!
WOW! That’s great as you said if you don’t have a sublimation printer, thank you for sharing! Liz 😊
You are so welcome!
@@AngieHolden Thank you!😊
THANK YOU FOR THE INFO
Thank you Angie
Love your videos!
Glad you like them!
Thanks for responding!
AAAAhhhhhhhhh Thank you loads!
I'd missed the part on the instructions that said not to mirror your design. I was mirroring it and wondering why it wasn;t sticking to the T Shirt.
Watched your video, and it worked straight after :)
Happy to help!
I use the Jolee brand printable htv and i like it better just based off of what i see with the cricut brand. Plus u cam get 5, 10, 12, or 18 sheets in the pack.
I have reviewed other brands in the past as well.
I like it, great video!
Thank you very much!
Great information
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the great video Angie. I think this Cricut printable iron-on beats the stuff I used years ago. It felt really horrible and would crack before you could even wash it.
You are so welcome!
Always enjoy your videos! You mentioned when you used the light printable iron on the dark shirt it gave a vintage feel and indeed it does look vintage. Question - have you ever tried distressed logos and/or lettering (the distressed type fonts) using the light printable iron on on a dark shirt? I get a lot of requests to make the distressed look but don't want to weed all those tiny pieces using HTV. And at this point I'm not ready to commit to sublimation or screen printing yet. It seems like it would work fine but you are the pro! Thanks
That may work actually. I have not tried it though.
Thank you.
How does this compare to Siser EasyColor that also prints on ink jet printer?
I would say similar. I did think this one held up really well and I didn’t have any issues with running which has been an issue with DTV.
Great video I think I’ll stick with sublimation I like the idea but it seems like a lot of work but it still look good 😊
Definitely more work!
This would be a great option for single wear shirts like Birthday and seasonal.
Single wear is great with printable transfer paper actually!
I'm tempted to buy a machine to make my own
Thank you
You're welcome
Another amazing video ❤. What is your latest ink jet printer suggestion?
Still go with this video: th-cam.com/video/3L3Dn5rkQ9A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RJWgPA8yWMOwRM3K
@@AngieHolden so are those still your top printers?
Thank you for this video! I am wondering about the stretch with it on shirts. Does it crack or anything if stretched?
This product has little to no stretch.
Thank you Angie for this video. Do they have it in A3?
I don't think they do but I could be wrong!
Is light grey and pink consider light or dark fabric. I thought I'd ask before I mess up on the t-shirts trying both light and dark. TIA
I would use the dark on the grey especially. The pink may be okay with light if it is really pale.
Great video … I have a thermal inkjet printer … will that work? ( Thermal inkjet is still liquid ink heated , I believe)
Thank you in advance
My guess is it may get too hot for these products but I am not sure!
Hi Angie, I really like your clear teaching style. You include very useful details. I hope you have a sense of humor because I want to tell you the "r" is silent in warsh Sincerely, Terri fom Wa[r]shington. 😊
People tell me that all of the time. Unfortunately my accent does not allow me to say it any other way.
@AngieHolden I was just teasing you. You do you! I am new to your videos, and I appreciate your clear teaching style. Thank goodness we are not all the same!
Thank you for the helpful video. One question: I have a design with lots of thin, short lines and dots. So I need an additional transfer film with which I can first tape off the design and then iron it on. Which film can withstand such high heat and is suitable for ironing together with the new Cricut printable iron-on? Greetings and thanks in advance from Munich/Germany 😃
As stated in the video, Cricut does not recommend a transfer film with this product. I tried one and had issues so I do not either. Simple designs would best.
@@AngieHolden Thanks for getting back that fast 😍
Thanks great video. How would this work on a polyester shirt. time a temp. Thanks!
It does work with polyester and time and temp should be the same.
@@AngieHolden Thanks!!
What is the set up that you have In the background? It’s so awesome

@@AngieHolden thank you so much.
Did you use the same protective sheet for the 5 sheet in the package for pressing your design
Yes you do!
I recently bought the Light fabric one and my son has a black shirt he wants a picture on. I was wondering if you could use standard white HTV for the offset layer and then use the print then cut design from cricut. Would it have the same result as the dark one? It was pretty hard to source just the light printable cricut HTV so i don't know what my luck will be like getting the dark one.😬
Gosh I have not tried that so I am not sure!
Could you wash it at 60C and show the result? In Europe we need to warm wash as there is not enough sun all over the year.
Angie, when you say it lasts as long easysubli, did you mean easy colour? I’m asking because I’m about to use easysubli and was hoping it would last..
EasySubli will not last for long because it is technically an HTV.
Just to confirm, I can use this on cotton fabric, not just polyester? And I have to have the offset showing if I use the one for dark fabric even if I use it on light fabric?
You can use this on any fabric. You don't have to have an offset. That is optional.
So wait, I have a yellow and a light pink shirt would I need to use the printable iron on for light fabrics? 🤨 I also bought printable iron for my nieces’ Easter egg hunting bags - will it work on white canvas bags?
I would use the Dark.
My material is ripping when my Maker 3 is cutting. I have used different mats, different pressures have gone through an entire pack. Has this happened to you? And do you have any tips or tricks?
I would say to clean your blade first. Make sure the material is down REALLY WELL on the mat. Then if that doesn't work, change your blade.
I know you said this is for ink jet and not Sublimation, but do you know if it can be used with Eco-Solvent ink? I have only bought Siser Color Print Vinyl to use with it, but I’m wondering if this might be another option.
Just inkjet with this one.
Eco-solvent ink should work fine. I'd definitely test it... they work pretty much in the same way!
You could always make a paper cut out of the negative spaces of the design to place multiple pieces
Oh yes!
The light fabric...does it need to be white or like beige and not like heather gray
I would say white or very light in color.
New to cricut. How do you know when to do a mirror on for htv?
When cutting regular HTV you should usually mirror.
Hi! Can it be used on polyester and spandex blend?
It is NOT very stretchy. It can be used on those types of fabric but won't stretch a ton.
Is there anything similar for laser printers?
Cricut does not make a product for laser printers but there are some on the market.
What can you use printable vinyl on ?
Printable vinyl is like a sticker. So it can be used similar to stickers.
What is the difference between this product and others via Amazon? If it’s just the name Cricut, I will stick with other brands I’ve tested and really like. They come with a lot more than 3 sheets for less price. Cricut is getting nutty with their pricing. IMO of course.
Oh there are other brands that work well and I have reviewed many of those.
So does the garment have to be 100% cotton or poly? Can it be a cotton poly blend?
Can be any blend.
What if it is poly and spandex?
What printer do you use ?
Any inkjet printer will work with this product.
Have you or anyone else here used this and dried the shirt in the dryer (normal cycle/temp)? Im 100% sure if anyone in my house "helps" with laundry, my shirt is going to end up getting dried lol. Just wondering how this might hold up.
Mine usually end up in the drier. It will shorten the life. Not sure by how much.
I've used this to make onesies for my grandbaby. My daughter washed and dried the onesie in the dryer once. The vinyl was horrible, cracked, wrinkled, and looked like it was peeling.
Faded slightly??..... ummmm its basically gone off the shirt. Disappointed this didn't pan out. Are you a cricut ambassador or sponsor?
It did only fade slightly. I was impressed with the product. Cricut did not sponsor this in any way. I purchased all supplies myself.
