For the dark paper it is already two layers, so just print it then cut it - then weed away the excess. After all of the excess is removed, lay down the masking material onto your image(s). Now use a squeegee to press out all of the air bubbles. Now lift the mask up - it should have your design on it, ready to apply.

For light colors, mask the sheet on the backafter it is printed and prior to cutting in order to make it two layers. Trim the edges so that the mask is about the same size as your transfer paper. Now cut it using the proper downforce -found by doing test cuts. Weed away the excess or if your design is simple and fully contained within on piece, just lift it off. Lay your printed design face down on the shirt and follow the heat instructions for the paper you are using.

Should work - you must be missing a step???

Why don't you call Josh so he can walk you through it?

It seems like you're missing something from his online instructions, since he is following the same steps and it works fine.

So if you CALL him directly and have him walk you through it, then you won't have to be frustrated with the process.

It's understandable that he's too busy for me and'll transfer me to another agent. Rodney, you dont sound like you have tried the TTD mask yourself

My point is that if you need more help than what he has already explained in the photos and in the posts, then it's possible you may need a step by step explanation by phone.

People learn things different ways. I haven't tried it, but I've called Josh on the phone before and asked for more clarification on tips/tutorials he's posted here and he's been more than willing to take the time to walk me through it.
