Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Hi, I've been using cotton based heat transfer film for a couple of years without any probs. Today I ordered glitter film for a job but try as I might I am unable to see the cut marks the plotter will have made even after making what I thought was reasonable adjustments to the pressure.
Has anyone else come across this problem. If so I would be interested to hear.
I just did some shirts with the glitter stuff. It is very hard to see the cutlines.
I had to put it up to a light or window to see where the cutlines were for weeding.
I am now looking into getting a light table for this purpose.
I was wondering if this is what other people use also. The shirts came out beautiful though.
Forgot to add this. As it is actually weeded from the back, when I held it up to the window, (I actually put it right on the window pane) I used a fine tip marker to mark the inside parts of the letters/numbers that needed to be removed. Then when I put it down on the table I could see the marker spots for weeding.
It can be a problem with these glitter/sparkle ones, i find if i sit directly under a light and tilt the section i'm weeding it shows up quite well. It does look good though.
Guys the glitter vinyl is Beautiful,I dont have a cutter yet either, but i have been cutting bigget letters and shapes out of it, to press on shirts, or initals.
Its not the best i can do, but untill i get a cutter, i work with what i got,, lol
