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
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.
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
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!
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?
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 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
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.
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.
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
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??
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
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
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 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.

How is the StarCraft different from Neenah printable?

Yes as long as you bleach first then apply the htv

How did u get it on the clear back for it to stick and did that come with it or u have to purchase that separate
You need to purchase it separately and you need to peel the image a bit from the backing before placing the clear heat transfer mask
Odd question, but why do you want the bleed on when using print then cut HTV and bleed off when doing the stickers (previous video)?
It's just a way to keep the white space out when cutting. For the shirt because there were some thinner lines I used it
