Description

Print bold, full-color designs on cotton and dark fabrics with Craft Express Sublimation Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)—your secret weapon for combining the vibrancy of sublimation with the versatility of heat transfer vinyl!

This game-changing vinyl is designed with a sublimation-receptive top layer, allowing you to sublimate your favorite graphics and press them onto fabrics that traditional sublimation can’t handle—like 100% cotton, dark garments, tote bags, and more. Just cut, press, and sublimate for crisp, long-lasting prints.

Perfect for crafters, custom apparel makers, and gift creators, this HTV brings your sublimation printer to the next level without switching materials or methods.

Instructions

Cut your design on the vinyl side (NOT the clear carrier) using a vinyl cutter.

Weed the excess vinyl and preheat your fabric to remove moisture.

Heat press the HTV onto your garment at 320°F (160°C) for 15 seconds with firm pressure.

Cool slightly and remove the carrier sheet.

Place your sublimation print on top of the pressed HTV and tape it in place.

Press again at 385°F (195°C) for 45–60 seconds.

Peel sublimation paper hot or cold depending on your ink and paper type.

✨ Pro Tip: Use a pressing pillow under seams to get even pressure across your vinyl surface!

FAQ

Can I use this on black cotton shirts?

Yes! That’s exactly what it’s for. This HTV lets you sublimate full-color prints onto black or dark cotton garments with amazing results.

Do I need a cutter to use it?

A vinyl cutter is recommended for shaping your design, but simple shapes can also be hand-cut or punched.

What kind of ink and printer do I need?

Use standard sublimation ink and sublimation paper with an inkjet sublimation printer (like Sawgrass or Epson-converted models).

Is it safe for the washer and dryer?

Yes! When applied properly, it’s highly durable and holds up beautifully to repeated washing and wearing.
