Good Morning all,
New to the Forum but have been using for research for quite a while.
I just dove head first into heat transfer vinyl. I have a vinyl cutter that works fine and a lower heat press that seems to do the job.
My questions refers to the Expressions Heat Transfer vinyl that i'm using. I have tried to use the factory time and temp settings, but it seems way too cool and not long enough.
The manufacturer recommends something like 310 degrees for 1-15 seconds. When used at this setting the vinyl barely sticks.
I up'd to about 350 for 30 secs and it seems to stick better in the middle of the design but when I stretch the shirt for quality, the vertical edges wrinkle and peel off the shirt where the middle stretches with the fabric.
Any recommendations?
(other than "just give up now")
