Hi Angie, thanks for the videos. I run out of research on what inkjet printer should I use. Does anyone can recommend a great one for heat transfer paper, Printable HTV? PLEASE I'm desperate!
I might be late but anyway : -for heat transfer paper use regular home inkjet printers with pigment (dye inks are great but tend to fade in UV lights) -for the best results printable HTV, use solvent inks (large format printers), but again inkjet printers (pigment ink) are also ok
This is awesome! Your instructions and projects were perfectly understandable (which I really enjoy watching your tutorials)! I never really understand printable heat transfer vinyl until now and I am envisioning a lot more projects with this method. I don't understand sublimation so this is perfect for my needs. Thank you so much, Angie!
Great video but why didn't you compare by using white printable htv on light/dark material too? Would that not have been a true comparison? Just wondering because I was most curious about the light printable being used!
My printable HTV designs always bleed after I was fabric. I don’t use fabric softener and I wash them many days after I ironed it on the t-shirts. I’ve tried putting mod podge for fabric on top and they still bleed. Any suggestions for sealing my printable HTV? Do they sell clear HTV that I can iron on top? I’m using epson EcoTank et4800 with ink that it came with, 522 which I recently learned it’s dye. That’s the ink that printer calls for. I don’t know if it’s ok to switch to 502 ink which is pigment. Thinking maybe it’s the dye ink causing problems?? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have a question, I have used the same material to make shirts, but when I placed that sheet (I don’t know the name if you could please type it) it transfers the image, what I’m doing wrong? Besides I used a normal iron.
Hello I used printable HTV paper Starcraft and printed white decals on dark koozie and my white all turned gray, I've wasted one and I don't want to ruin anymore, can you give me advise please? I didn't use transfer paper
I really like shirt that you're wearing in this video. The colors are so vivid. Can you please tell me which materials and method you used to create it? Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Angie. Thanks for another awesome video! Please let us know how well the clothes wash? Does the design stay bright? I wonder how many washes it truly lasts? 😀
Hi good day, can i this on my regular canon laser printer? If not, can you recommend me a printable htv for my printer? Will use it for tshirt transfers, thank you so much
I've learned so much from you during this quarantine. I subscribed about a month ago. Thanks for being so thorough and pleasant. Love from Houston, TX.🥰
What printing quality did you set your printer? The colors a very bright. Why do you have to reverse image for light vinyl? EXCELLENT VIDEO! THANK YOU! 😀
Angie, you are my hero, I just got my new printer connected and ready to try HTV. Just found out about printable HTV and your video answered all my questions and showed me exactly what I need to get started. Thank you so much, you have a new subscriber that has a silhouette.
Hi this video is from 2 years ago but I just found it and love the info. I noticed the link is broken /not found for the StarCraft dark. Do you know where else I can find that product? Thanks!
I've been looking for which printer, cricut product, and materials to get so I can begin making stickers, shirts, etc of my comic characters. Your TH-cam channel is really helping to make me feel less nervous about spending money on the machines, and more confident in which materials I want to use for stickers and such. Thank you SO much! Any advice on shopping for printable sticker paper or transfer material? I'm having a hard time finding which materials will hold up to washing or being outside.
Thanks a million ! You reckon i can use this on leather? i just need to iron on small flag images on white leather.. so nothing big just tiny images. If yes, which would be better white or dark? is this any different from heat transfer paper?
So I don't need an extra pinter AND sublimation ink AND sublimation paper to put a desing on fabric??? That's GREAT! Thank you so much for your video. It helped me clarify all my doubts! You're the best!
Pls include the full process and not skip the process on how to create the design on the app before printing and the printing and cutting. Thank you in advance.
@@AngieHolden I reacted to when you said you didn't like the htv on light fabrics so you were going to use it on wood. You did in the video apply it on light fabric after all
hi Angie I am so confused I have watch different videos on pattern htv and some say use transfer tape and some you do not. how do I know if I need the heat transfer tape or not. I have iron by Chinco and tintnut. I wish I watched your video before I purchased the pattern htv
It varies by brand. I would peel back the corner. If there is a carrier sheet over the top, mirror and use it like usual. If there isn't, you need to not mirror and cut then use a heat resistant transfer tape.
@@AngieHolden I have a customer requesting that I put logos on several pieces of athletic wear for him. I have a sublimation printer and just got another inkjet for printable vinyl. Would you suggest I just use regular printable vinyl for this?
Any time I need a point of reference, I come to your channel. In the seven months I’ve been on my creativity journey, you’ve taught me much. Thank you for the useful content.
Love your videos - super clear and complete. I usually have to rewind and listen to videos several times but with your videos, I can absorb it on the first run through. I appreciate that! Question: when you say "cool completely" do you mean 15 minutes or so?
@@AngieHolden I tried my first printing using inkjet printer, but after the print, i touched it and ink removed from it's surface and design gone. I tried but this time after heat press the design was so fade...almost 99% white. I think my wrong step was I should not use inkjet printer. I must use sublimation. or what's wrong Angie? please help. thank you
I have a roll of satin heat transfer vinyl on a roll one side is shinny the other is like mat, which side to I print on with my inkjet printer, it's satin poly heat transfer vinyl?
In my experience in the distant past, ink jet printer ink couldn't handle getting wet. Is it the type of ink you are using or the Starcraft product that keeps the ink from running when wet? Since you're putting this on clothing, it has to be washable.
Washing instructions are: turn garment inside out, wash in cold water with mild detergent, do not bleach. Dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron directly on transfer. I don't know what the magic is but is is washable.
I know this video is a year old but I must echo others’ comments-you always cover things in such great detail! A pleasure to learn from you! Thank you!
Angie - thanks for the great information. I just subscribed and have found your videos to be SO helpful. I have a quick question - when using wood, have you found anyway to make the result not so "rustic" and more crisp and clear the way the transfers look on fabric?
I have not with this material. I have used tattoo paper to transfer images to wood with good luck. However, the wood grain always shows through so it is a bit "farmhouse" by nature.
If I’m using have for dark colors and I’m putting it on a black shirt do you have any suggestions on what to do with the type I want on it? I originally had it black 🙄 then realized it needed to be white. But if you change the color to white you can’t see it. Help 😭🙏🏽🤞🏽
Hey Angie, I’m struggling to find the vinyl you have used (maybe because I’m in the UK) The one I’m using now just runs and peels off which is so annoying Any suggestions for other brands of printable HTV
1 question, but first I'd like to thank you for this awesome video, now I'd like to know about water resistantce and sealing? Is it going to be just fine, or is there some extra steps, like applying some polyurethane spray?
@@AngieHolden Ik I watched the video but I’m getting told from other people you can’t use transfer tap on printable vinyl so I’m just confused because some of my images don’t connect
Thank you so much for that info I have my Grandsons tea shirts sitting looking at me but my first attempt was more than rustic. Watching you do all those test has really helped Me understand more so hey ho I will give it a go.👍
Is there a special ink you have to use with your inkjet with the printable vinyl? I'm asking because the regular inkjet ink is water soluble, which if you've ever dripped something on a printed page you know what I mean. And since you need to be able to wash any clothes you use this on, I was curious how well regular ink would hold up. The same issue with putting prints on wood since you would most likely end up sealing the project with one or more coats of polyurethane or varnish. Thanks for the great videos and for all you do to help this community out.
what material setting did you use on your cricut for this? I tried using "paper with adhesive backing" option and it cuts through the backing paper all the way, which i don't want. .
Ms Angie I have a silhouette cameo 3 and was wondering what setting you would suggest is best for cutting intricate designs using the StarCraft for darks? I have a customer wanting shirts done and I totally forgot I have this StarCraft htv.
Thanks for referring me to this video! It was very helpful. I do have an additional question: what does the fabric on the onesie or the shirt and bag feel like afterward? Are they rough, smooth, or do they feel like they're "infused"? Thanks.
Hey Angie! Thank you so much for all the videos you make! They are amazing and SUPER helpful! I have a question: i use an inkjet printer for sublimation, and i'm wondering if this Starcraft Printable HTV for dark materials, for example, would any black lines appear on the black t-shirt (100% coton) ??? Thank you so much!!!! Keep up your great work!!!
What heat transfer material would you recommend if we want to avoid including white backgrounds for more intricate/complex designs or outlines around images?
I've used star craft and on the directions it says to mirror the image. But it seems like you don't do that and put it on like if it was a sticker. Maybe that's why mine are coming out dull
I've wasted so much vinyl because the backing will not separate from my printed image! I called my local shop and requested a different brand because of this. I'm glad to see you had difficulty with it also (not just me lol) and I will try the solution you had but it takes forever with some designs to do that with individual letters, etc. Also, when you don't use transfer tape the image curls up and before you can center it on heat press it is ruined (from the heat)! So frustrating! However, thanks for this video - I will keep trying! Guess I need to break out the easy press instead?
Thankyou for this video! Been looking EVERYWHERE for wood application and you’re the only one I can find that does a great job at explaining it!
Glad I could help!
I wish you had talked a little more about the printing. Like can I use any printer ? Is there a special ink needed?
This vinyl is for inkjet printers with regular ink installed.
This is great news. So I can use my regular printer instead of my sublimation printer?
Hi Angie, thanks for the videos. I run out of research on what inkjet printer should I use. Does anyone can recommend a great one for heat transfer paper, Printable HTV? PLEASE I'm desperate!
I am looking also to find one. Any news?!
I use an HP 6200 series. Their 7800 series is also really good. I have heard Canon printers are great too but I don't have any experience.
@@AngieHolden Thank you! Epson was top on the list, but none available at the moment, either out of stock or discontinued
I might be late but anyway :
-for heat transfer paper use regular home inkjet printers with pigment (dye inks are great but tend to fade in UV lights)
-for the best results printable HTV, use solvent inks (large format printers), but again inkjet printers (pigment ink) are also ok

Great video but why didn't you compare by using white printable htv on light/dark material too? Would that not have been a true comparison? Just wondering because I was most curious about the light printable being used!
The light printable is not meant for dark fabrics.

The ink may be the issue? I am not sure and I haven't had that issue.
Hi, I am confused, I tried using a Siser Mask on my DTV and it took it off the print, I am getting so confused and discouraged.m
The siser mask should work with DTV. maybe let it dry longer?
I have a question, I have used the same material to make shirts, but when I placed that sheet (I don’t know the name if you could please type it) it transfers the image, what I’m doing wrong? Besides I used a normal iron.
I would just say to go back and read the instructions that come with what you purchased carefully. Each brand is different.
Hello I used printable HTV paper Starcraft and printed white decals on dark koozie and my white all turned gray, I've wasted one and I don't want to ruin anymore, can you give me advise please? I didn't use transfer paper
Sounds like you used the one for light colors. The one for dark colors does not allow for the base to show through.
I really like shirt that you're wearing in this video. The colors are so vivid. Can you please tell me which materials and method you used to create it? Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
I purchased that many years ago!
Hi Angie. Thanks for another awesome video! Please let us know how well the clothes wash? Does the design stay bright? I wonder how many washes it truly lasts? 😀
Hmmm...that might be a good test!
Hi good day, can i this on my regular canon laser printer? If not, can you recommend me a printable htv for my printer? Will use it for tshirt transfers, thank you so much
You would need transfers made for a laser printer. I have not used any of those so I don't have any suggestions.
I need to choose between using printable HTV or sublimation ? Do we still need sublimation ink to print with on the vinyl ? Any advice welcome
Printable HTV is regular inkjet ink.
Love your tutorials dear. Please was it an ecotank inkjet printer you used? What kind of ink did you use, dye ink or sublimation ink?
This was with just an inkjet printer with inkjet ink.
I've learned so much from you during this quarantine. I subscribed about a month ago. Thanks for being so thorough and pleasant. Love from Houston, TX.🥰
Welcome aboard!
Miss Jones! Some of the products she uses are from Direct Vinyl Supply which is located in Houston,TX!! We would love to see you!
Hello, have you done a video on how to create the image and then how to print them off? (This is all new to me, any help will be grateful)
Maybe try this: th-cam.com/video/XMGzJOR35bY/w-d-xo.html
so pleased you do it from first time - lets you know the challenges and doesnt make me feel so bad when i try things and they dont work first time
I'M USING STARCRAFT PRINTABLE HTV AND THE PAPER BACKING IS STICKING TO MY TRANSFER TAPE. DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS TO PREVENT THIS?
I am not sure. Sorry.
What printing quality did you set your printer? The colors a very bright. Why do you have to reverse image for light vinyl? EXCELLENT VIDEO! THANK YOU! 😀
I would set it to photo quality if you can. The light just works differently then the dark which is why it is reversed.
Ok so this is printable vinyl not regular transfer paper correct which means it should not bleed like the regular heat transfer paper
I have videos on both. I like the printable HTV best.
Angie, you are my hero, I just got my new printer connected and ready to try HTV. Just found out about printable HTV and your video answered all my questions and showed me exactly what I need to get started. Thank you so much, you have a new subscriber that has a silhouette.

Hi Angie where else can we buy this? is not available from direct vinyl supply
I know I bought the same thing off of Amazon!
Thanks Angie, this is awesome. Very helpful for people like me that are just getting started. Love the way you explain things.
You are so welcome!
I love this. I just can’t figure out how to cut it on Cricut, what is the setting for the Cricut for this type of paper?
I usually start with the vinyl or iron on setting and adjust from there for any new product.
Angie, the link for printable vinyls is not coming up, is it still s good link, company?
It may not be available from that company any longer. You can still google the name and purchase from like Amazon or something.
Hey Angie! I never would have thought to use the dark transfer on white material but it works great! Thanks for thinking outside the box on this one!
Happy to help!
Hi this video is from 2 years ago but I just found it and love the info. I noticed the link is broken /not found for the StarCraft dark. Do you know where else I can find that product? Thanks!
I have also purchased on Amazon.
Thank you!! Looks like they don’t either. Perhaps they discontinued it. I’ll have to do some more research.

It should work on leather. I would use the dark I think. And it is different than heat transfer paper. The printable HTV lasts longer.
@@AngieHolden You are awesome ! thanks for replying !
I’m literally broke right now, but can I use a regular iron for some of these?
For these you could.
how do you get your image you printed to cut out on the cricut? Do you have to download the image to cricut? If so how do you do that?
Upload image to design space to print. I have videos on print then cut if you need them.
I have my own designs can my cricut explore cut around my design?
Yes it can.
What type of Pinter and what type of ink do use to convert ? Can I do it with a 2720 or a diff one
This is just with an inkjet printer with inkjet ink. This does not require sublimation at all.
Can this be used with the regular printer ink or would it have the be sublimation ink?
This is regular printer ink.
hi, great video. just what i wanted. the starcraft links are not working though
Sorry about that! Too much to keep up with. I am sure you can find it for sale somewhere else?
So I don't need an extra pinter AND sublimation ink AND sublimation paper to put a desing on fabric??? That's GREAT! Thank you so much for your video. It helped me clarify all my doubts! You're the best!
Yes you can get this same look on fabric. Please note that this will not last as long as sublimation.

Regular printer ink.

You can see more here: th-cam.com/video/vo4y-g1z2HY/w-d-xo.html
is there any difference in transfer tape and transfer mask i have siser but doesnt say if its tape or mask
You just want to make sure it is okay for heat. Doesn't matter what type it says it is.
Do you suggest a certain type of printable vinyl to be used for athletic wear (drifit) using an epson ecotank 2720? I’ve looked everywhere
Are you looking to do sublimation or regular printing? I don't think there is a stretchy version of printable HTV for inkjet printers.

Is it printable? If not, then you can't print on it.
@AngieHolden yes it's to make tee shirts with that's what it says on the box, if you can't print on it then what ya supposed to do with it?
@AngieHolden if you're sending me a new reply it's not showing and always coming up as if should be a new response
Can you put it on any color fabric or only white or black?
Any color.
Thank you so much! I have been looking into this and didn't know where to start! Thank you! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Just wondering can you use the dark color for wood
You can try. It will look more like a sticker on top of wood.
Can I use the carrier leftover from my other HTV?
Yes you could!

Do you use a regular ink for the printable htv or do you need a special ink for it?
Regular ink.

Glad it was helpful!
Hey Angie, I’m struggling to find the vinyl you have used (maybe because I’m in the UK)
The one I’m using now just runs and peels off which is so annoying
Any suggestions for other brands of printable HTV
I don't have a ton of recommendations as I am not a huge fan of most brands of this product. Sorry!
Very informative - thank you! Do you have an opinion about which looks better? Using the transfer tape or just sticking it right to the project?
Either one. It shouldn't make a difference in appearance.
1 question, but first I'd like to thank you for this awesome video, now I'd like to know about water resistantce and sealing? Is it going to be just fine, or is there some extra steps, like applying some polyurethane spray?
On wood, I would probably only use this for indoor applications.
Oh my Goodness, u ‘re the best No body is explaining like u, God bless u🙏🌹🌹🌹
Wow, thank you
Do you need to use transfer paper when using that for shirts? Or do you recommend it for pictures that are not together
I do cover use of transfer tape in some cases in the video.
@@AngieHolden Ik I watched the video but I’m getting told from other people you can’t use transfer tap on printable vinyl so I’m just confused because some of my images don’t connect

No. That will not work.

You can do it!
Can you use starcraft for dark on the wood?
You can! It will be white in all of the areas and the wood will not show through.
What file type do you use for this? PNG? SVG?
PNG or JPG works best.
@@AngieHolden ok, thanks
But how does it hold up after washing. The printable HTV from Cricut imploded and was ruined (even following proper application and proper wash).
I have a shirt right now testing ALL of the things and the video will be up soon!
Is there a special ink you have to use with your inkjet with the printable vinyl? I'm asking because the regular inkjet ink is water soluble, which if you've ever dripped something on a printed page you know what I mean. And since you need to be able to wash any clothes you use this on, I was curious how well regular ink would hold up.
The same issue with putting prints on wood since you would most likely end up sealing the project with one or more coats of polyurethane or varnish.
Thanks for the great videos and for all you do to help this community out.
No. You can use your regular printer and regular ink. You can definitely seal the wood piece though!
I am glad u made this video I been doing it all wrong I have made a lot of stuff but ur way is super easy
what material setting did you use on your cricut for this? I tried using "paper with adhesive backing" option and it cuts through the backing paper all the way, which i don't want. .
I think I used the printable vinyl setting or just the HTV setting.
Ms Angie
I have a silhouette cameo 3 and was wondering what setting you would suggest is best for cutting intricate designs using the StarCraft for darks?

I have a question: i use an inkjet printer for sublimation, and i'm wondering if this Starcraft Printable HTV for dark materials, for example, would any black lines appear on the black t-shirt (100% coton) ??? Thank you so much!!!! Keep up your great work!!!
You wouldn't use printable HTV with sublimation ink. You can find alternatives for that here: th-cam.com/video/gQCZRndBTI8/w-d-xo.html
5:06 - 6.75 x 9.25
are these alright for using with a mini iron on leather shoes??
I don't know how long these would last on shoes?
@@AngieHolden they do last quite well I’ve worked it out anyway 😁 just need to get one of those machines and few bits🔥
What heat transfer material would you recommend if we want to avoid including white backgrounds for more intricate/complex designs or outlines around images?
You can just use regular HTV: th-cam.com/video/-S6DzXe5p64/w-d-xo.html
@@AngieHolden thank you!
I've used star craft and on the directions it says to mirror the image. But it seems like you don't do that and put it on like if it was a sticker. Maybe that's why mine are coming out dull
It depends on which one you are using. Light or dark. They are different directions.
How do we create a design of for example a family member's photo to print on the htv?
Thank you in advance.
You can use this for photos.
I following all your steps and my cricut explorer 2 is only cutting the picture into a square... why do you think that is? I appreciate your help!
Did you flatten to a square? Most likely that is what happened. Or when you uploaded you didn't remove the background.
I've wasted so much vinyl because the backing will not separate from my printed image! I called my local shop and requested a different brand because of this. I'm glad to see you had difficulty with it also (not just me lol) and I will try the solution you had but it takes forever with some designs to do that with individual letters, etc. Also, when you don't use transfer tape the image curls up and before you can center it on heat press it is ruined (from the heat)! So frustrating! However, thanks for this video - I will keep trying! Guess I need to break out the easy press instead?
I think I would use transfer tape if I wanted individual letters. That is way more complicated than just picking and placing one image!
