Heat transfer vinyl, or HTV, is a type of film that can be used to print custom designs, lettering, and numbers onto different fabrics. It is commonly used to create sports kits, party wear, and even apparel for private businesses! Also, Printable HTV is easy to print onto, cut, and press.
Iron-on films are generally available as cuts from a larger roll or in small rolls. Vinyl pressing is great for producing unique promotional clothing and designs and is backed by adhesive. This allows it to be easily cut and weeded in preparation for heat transfer.
You can use vinyl material with specialist printing, and vinyl cutting machines and can press, and print using a household iron or a heat press. Most popular cutting machines: Cricut Maker, Cricut Joy, Cricut Explore, Brother ScanNCut, Silhouette Cameo, Silhouette Portrait, etc.
HTV has a glossy side, or carrier sheet, which covers the vinyl itself. The other side, which is matte, is the cuttable, adhesive side. This is important to remember when it’s time to cut out your design! Please note that there may be some exceptions.
