Thank you for all the silhouette info videos
You are welcome!
Thanks for this video. I am definitely going to watch your other videos on this product.
You are welcome!
Hello i just now seen you and the video..I loved it thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊 ☺️ 🙏 i need all the help i can get ..lol..cant wait to see more...
You are welcome! Happy cutting!
Thanks a million these are questions I had thoughts about👍🏾👍🏾
You are welcome!
I love your video. I noticed your comment about using your fingers to count; I learned in Toastmasters that using hand gestures - yes, even when counting -is a good strategy to help keep your audience engaged. :)
Thank you for that feedback! Interesting to hear.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I tried making another one and it was not good. There is certainly a learning curve...but hey, what fun we have in the meantime!!
What's happening? All a learning experience at times - for us all.
This is great, thanks!
You are welcome!
Excellent video. Enthused to give it a try.
Thank you! Would love to see what you create on our FB group!

I think you are amazing! I really appreciate the attention to details in your videos AND keeping them real! Fancy schmancy super editing TH-cam “How To” videos aren’t much help when all the little problems of real life re-enactment come into play. In other words, thank you. Keep up the good work. I wish you well, and many thousands of subscribers.
Thank you! I'm glad it helps. There are a few video edits in there - things happen.... One of my videos it took me 3 times to say "cross-hatched" without getting tongue tied.
Super thank you great video 👍
You are welcome!
Thank you!
You are welcome!
Thank you so much
You are welcome!
Thank you very very much for such precious information. How can get a bright color. My image is very clear and colorful. But dull when transferred. Thank you very much I will subscribe
What program are you printing from?
Are you printing on the correct side of the DTV?
How does it look when printed on regular paper? Are the colors dull?
What are you pressing it with? A heat press or a something else?
Have you checked the temperature on the press?
Are you using EasyMask to transfer the image? Is there ink left on the Easy Mask?
Are you waiting 24 hours after printing to press?
It could be any of those items and you'd have start testing to start ruling them out.
Thank for the great tips! I tried tip # 1 and had success, but next time I will wait 24hrs after print. The mask was not sticking properly and it created bubbles.
You are welcome!
Best video on the new product! I appreciate the helpful tips and examples illustrated. I also own a Silhouette 4. Question, can u use regular transfer paper with this product?
Siser is recommending the TTD Easy Mask low tack so it does not take ink off the print. Others are trying other tacks and brands, but I have not. I tend to stick to the manufacturers recommendations, especially when referring a product. This helps in narrowing down issues if you do run into them and also in if you would contact the company for help on any issues.
The transfer mask has to be heat safe transfer or it could melt to your garment.
@@SwiftCreekCustoms I can understand the recommendation, give the product the best opportunity to work properly this way. If I were to substitute, I would try my heat transfer tape but will check and see if others had any success since the sheets are too pricey to waste.
@@mellanese I have done everything I know to make the ttd mask work. I waited 3 days, I spent hours over a 5 day period and never got it to work. I have ordered a different brand suggested by another creator who also struggled with the siser ttd mask.
@@crystalfarmer4074 I hope the new brand works for you. I've seen where one piece transfers are the simplest but some designs are in multiple pieces. Pls come back and let us know the results and name of the brand if it works. My DTV order comes I'm today. I did not order the masks, I honestly feel one piece should be included in the order as they are pricey.
I like the sarcasm loading design on your shirt; Where did you get the design?
Here's the link for this Sarcasm design

Thanks for the tips!! Love the bags. What is the name of the font? I’m going to give it a try 😊
I used 2 different fonts and have linked them in this post
silhouette-secrets.com/2022/08/20/back-to-school-goody-bags-with-siser-dtv/
I have been using Avery printable vinyl and I really really like it someone done a study on it on TH-cam and compare it to several other printable vinyl‘s and this one stood out the most I was wondering is this DTV the same process?
EasyColor DTV is a brand new product and is vinyl, not heat transfer paper like Avery and other brands. Yes, the process is the same, it's just the material is different.
Hi.. I use an Epson inkjet printer. Printing on normal paper is perfect however on the sisor easy colour its prints blurry.. can anyone help??
I've seen this reported by a few, and it seems to happen with Epson inks. I would reach out to Siser Support and see if they have suggestions to help.

Are you washing the shirts before wearing them as is now recommended by Siser to prevent water marks if they get wet prior to washing?
Yes. I wait 24 hours after application and follow their care instructions.
I do own a sihlouette, but currently use a cricut maker 3...will this work with the cricut or should I find my sihlouette?
Yes, DTV will work with a Cricut but you will be limited by Cricuts print and cut size limitations.
Is there a specific font that can or cannot be used wit this vinyl using a cricut maker machine
It is just like cutting a design out of HTV or adhesive vinyl. Whatever font you can cut easily with those, could be cut on this. It is actual heat transfer vinyl, pretty much the same as Siser Easyweed, just 10 microns thicker.
I would recommend using Print Bleed as well.
Hi, can I use my Ecotank printer ET-2720 with this product?
It is designed for inkjet printers. You can email info@siserna.com for more specific details on printers.
Some of the colored prints still look so flat and lacking vibrancy, still almost paper like to me. Do you notice a big difference between the printable vinyl and a screen print image, in terms of color quality?
You printer is a variable in it as well. And if you are comparing to a screen print, that completely different and would have variable as well such as where you order, what it's printed on, etc.
I do not noticed print quality differences in my colors. I am using a Canon to print all of mine. I think it's a great option for home printing.
What can I do about the red, besides using separate vynil, it gets really dark
Dark when you print it? Or dark when you press it?
What color shirt are you putting it on?
@@SwiftCreekCustoms pressing it
@@alienychris511 what color are you applying it to?
Great product just prints small
Nice, mistakes as well
Do you know how colorprint easy and easy Color dtv compare to each other? I can't find anything online
Color Print Easy is made for an eco solvent printer, which is quite a bit more expensive than just a home printer. It cannot be printed on by an inkjet printer.
Easy Color DTV is made to be used with a home inkjet printer.
2 different printers - 2 different ink compositions.
Here is more details from the Siser website on the Colorprint Easy - www.siserna.com/colorprint-easy/
And more specifics on the Easy Color here -

@@SwiftCreekCustoms will Color print Easy work with a Sublimation printer?
@@KarinasContent no. They are not designed for a Sublimation printer. EasySubli is though. Check out the siser site for that product.
@@SwiftCreekCustoms Yeah I don't like how thick the easy subli is so that's why I was kind of looking for an alternative but thank you for answering me I appreciate all of the help.
Where did you get the sarcasm transfer
The design is from the Silhouette Design Store and printed on the Siser EasyColor DTV

If I have a cricut can I get it
I would love to make this for my son he’s an engineer and I know he would love this
@@rachelcruz2337 yes, just click on the svg when you buy it and then download to your computer and open in Cricut. However, you will be limited to the print and cut size with Cricut.
Silhouette has a much larger print and cut area which is only limited by the size your printer prints.
Can you cut fine details with DTV?
If you have a good design, I think you could. It cuts just like Siser Easyweed HTV. However, something to keep in mind is that the backing is not sticky on the DTV, so if the pieces move, they will be lost.
NO YOU CANT , it curl up something terrible
In this, some of my details were very small. By carefully weeding and then applying the mask, I was able to work with that.
th-cam.com/video/RSEnzib9BE8/w-d-xo.html
It will ultimately depend on the design and your cut settings cam make a difference too.
Also make sure once it's on the mask, do not set it on a warm surface or it will curl off the mask.
I am hoping to like the dtv but the transfer mask that goes with it is awful. I have ordered another brand of heat transfer tape and hoping it works better.
Did you wait 24 hours after printing before masking?
I use a different mask and it saved me. Instead of halting production for a day.
@@banzaisbanza Hi, what masking do you use?
@@mellanese I use the Frisco craft heat transfer vinyl.
@@banzaisbanza Thank you, is it reusable?
