Step-by-Step Instructions and Guide

In order to complete all the steps of this guide, you should know the material required to perform this task. 

Material Required

• Siser EasyColor DTV Printable HTV A4 Sheets
• Inkjet printer
• Cutting machine (for detailed designs only)
• Heat press or iron
• Weeding tool
• Teflon sheet or parchment paper
• Fabric items (like a t-shirt or tote bag)

After knowing the material, you are ready to perform your task. Here’s how to do it:

Prepare Your Design

Create or choose your design using graphic design software of the A4 size (8.3 x 11.7 inches).

Print Your Design

Now, load the Siser EasyColor DTV into your inkjet printer. Print on the matte and the printable side, using a high-quality setting for vibrant colors. Let it dry for a few minutes to prevent smudging.

Cut Your Design (Optional)

If you are printing a detailed design, use a cutting machine or scissors to trim around your design.

Weed Your Design

Use a weeding tool to remove excess vinyl and leave the printed design.

Preheat Your Fabric

Place your fabric on the flat surface which should be heat resistant and on the other side start preheating your heat or iron. You need to perform this to avoid any moisture and wrinkles on your t-shirt.  

Position Your Design

Place your weeded design on the preheated fabric with the printed side facing up. Also, use a Teflon sheet or parchment paper to cover it.

Peel the Carrier Sheet

Let the design cool slightly, then carefully peel away the carrier sheet. If any part of the design lifts, cover it again and reapply heat for a few more seconds.

Final Touch

For added durability, press the design again for a few seconds with a Teflon sheet or parchment paper over it.

Tips for Success
