HTV

HTV

Heat transfer vinyl is a specialty vinyl made to use on apparel or other cloth material. You can create images using certain software that then connects to a cutting machine that will cut the image into the vinyl. You then have to weed out the unused vinyl to reveal your image. Then you press the vinyl onto the material using a heat press. This process takes a lot longer then sublimation or even embroidery. What I like about HTV is there are so many fun options. Glitter, metallic, reflective, shinny, glow in the dark, UV changing, puff, strip flock, and then trusty old matte finish. You can create some fun and colorful designs and this is a great option for the designs that are more simple and not too many colors. HTV can pretty much be used on any cloth material. But I primarily do it on cotton and cotton blends. HTV is what got me started in all of this.-
