Hi.. I have my cutter and im going to be using vinyl for the designs.
When I print out the vinyl design do I just set it on top of the t-shirt and use the heat press or is there some other thing im forgetting ?
Whats the whiteish/clear material called that you see being set over the t-shirt before the Heat Press is pulled down ?
Should be as simple as placing the t-shirt on the press, placing the cut vinyl on the t-shirt, placing a teflon sheet (said whiteish material, this is very important - without it, the transfer will glue itself to the top of the heat press) over the vinyl transfer, and pressing the shirt.

Follow the directions for the vinyl that YOU are using. They are all a bit (sometimes a lot) different. The vinyl is cut in reverse - layed on top of the t-shirt and pressed. The teflon sheet is "usually" not necessary if you have the full plastic backing on your graphic on a 'virgin' shirt - (no other graphic already applied).
Hi to everybody. I'm kinda new in this and i would like you to help me. I want to start making some T-Shirts for myself but I really don't know all about it. I'm gonna by the cutter but still I don't know what kind of vinyl to buy or where to find it. I've been told that the one I should use is different from the one that I can make stickers with, I've also been told that it's called vinyl film that's the one i Should use. I know what i have to do with Illustrator... everything related to the design i want to print (in this case cut). Please I hope that you guys can help me with this issue
Thanks
JC
