Thought I would post this 4 color job I did using Siser Easyweed. I love this stuff.

very nice, are the colors overlaid or are they butt registered?

 

[gorilladiver]

Great job!!, I'm also curious as to how you put all those layers together

 

[lben]

I'm thinking they're overlaid. Every time I've tried to do butt registration the material shrinks just far enough to throw off the design. Even preshrinking hasn't helped. Unless this easyweed vinyl is easier to work with or the OP knows a trick I haven't figured out yet.

Nice work though. Really nice.

Is this sticker or print? if its print by screen then its impossible work which you have done.

Is this sticker or print?

It is a vinyl transfer. The vinyl is cut from solid color rolls and layered or butted up against each other and then pressed into the fabric. It's not a sticker or screen printed.

How much did you charge for it?

Cool. Great job.

Thanks for the help. I was really confused about it.

How does it feel? I have gone up to 3 layers with EZ-weed but it starts to get heavy on the chest after that to me. (Mine was layered right on top of the other). I am sure the design plays a part in that too so I am curious to know how it feels with four layers?

 

[BB401]

Awesome.

Is layered?????, can you explain how u did it step by step mate?Thanks,

if you see shrinkage in between layers when working with multi layer vinyl, try just applying the layers for a 1 or 2 second hit until you get to the last layer. On the last layer, do a full application. This will prevent the media from shrinking.

Its just 4 colors of Easyweed layered on top of each other.
I started with the black as the base, but next time I will put the white down first so it want be so thick.

Actually feels pretty good.

I did each color in separate layers in photoshop then imported it into illustrator with the cutting master plugin, then cut it on my Graphtec ce5000.

Yes, when you press each color only press them for a couple seconds to hold them in place, then on your last color press it for the required time.

Hi Sir and thanks, would you be so kind to upload or send me the PSD or EPS files to see how its done, specially id like to see the layers..im new to this and id like to see how the file is prepared to be sent to the cutter.

Very nice work .. i can't help but wonder if it was cost effective.

 

[mozzer93]

I to would like to see a pic or eps file process, looks good.

OMG your a genius.

 

[34Ford]

Thank you. There was a lot of time spent on Photoshop and Illustrator to get this, but it was for our clubs ball team.

Now I have a Roland SP-540i vinyl printer so I can do it in one layer.

 

[Ruby MHarvey]

Very nice work, good job.

Why not spot color instead?
