Cuttable Heat Transfer Vinyls

No, printable HTV and sublimation are different processes. HTV is great for customizing cotton-based fabrics, offering a wide range of colors and finishes. Sublimation is best for polyester-based materials, providing full-color, long-lasting prints. It also depends on your budget and the volume of your work - for bulk projects, sublimation is the right choice.

HTV can peel off due to improper application technique, low-quality vinyl, or insufficient heat and pressure. To ensure long-lasting adhesion, follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and use the right temperature and pressure. With proper application, high-quality HTV can typically last for 50 or more wash cycles.

Applying the correct temperature is crucial for HTV. If the temperature is too low, the vinyl may not adhere properly. If the temperature is too high, the HTV design can melt and become distorted. The ideal temperature range is typically between 280°F to 320°F, as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
