Default stupid question

I know this is a stupid question but I just got samples of easy weed and thermo flex, no instructions I called and found out what temps

My question is which side do I cut. All of the other vinyl I have done for shirts had color, one shiny side and a dull side
This vinyl has a shiny side and a white side. I know that I have been told to cut the dull side but I want to make sure that applies to the white side on these vinyls as well

I aplogize for it being a dumb question.

You cut with mirror image. Shiny side is the milar backing. So it has to be on bottom. when your press it is on top.

Thanks
I know to mirror but I had just never seen the white backing on the heat transfer material before so I wasn't sure if I cut that side.


Thanks again for the quick replies

Default Re: stupid question

if your vinyl is a different color than white you cut the white side it should be dull...
