I just used this product over the weekend and it started out a nightmare! I had letters, small pieces and they just would not stick to the mask and they curIed so bad I thought I had to scrap the project. I saw a comment about using a mask then weed, I tried this method and now I love the product. I Print, Cut, HTV mask, Remove DTV Backing, Weed, Press. This saved me from having to turn down the project.
Awesome. So glad it work for you. Yes someone made that comment and I have to try that method as well
I have used this product. Here is my honest input: it's a great product 👌 However, it is only to be used to heatpress full one image pictures. It is not Created to behave like vinyl where you can weed letter by letter
It works well if you got an image as a whole. That's something I think they should work on
But overall it isn't a bad product just gotta use it with the right project
I was thinking I would never use this for lettering I would just use the vinyl and layer or cut the image in the way that I could use vinyl for the solid color wording and text and if I wanted like a picture or a graphic I would use this but never for everything else.
I just went through all of this exactly tonight trying to make a shirt for my grandson! I gave up and just printed the whole background black, since it’s on a black shirt! Not perfect but will work for this time! Wish I had seen this before hand 😂
I’m sure he will love it either way.
I feel you. My problem is using butcher paper. It sticks to the easy color DTV after heating it. I 've ruined several shirts. I've tried a light tac mask and that stuck as well. I tried a lower temp on my heat press and butcher paper. Shockingly, it stuck. I'm back to easy subli and sublimation paper. A trick to fix the decal curling up is to heat your shirt and immediately lay the dtv on the shirt while it's still hot, without a mask. You'll watch it uncurl.
I have had this product sitting in my craft room for months and have yet to try it. I love how you showed the struggles with it. I typically love Siser products but clearly this one has issues! Thanks for the video.
It truly depends on what you print with it. The larger the image the better. Smaller images and words not so much.
I was in Micheal’s a few months ago and bought Easy color DTV. It was 5 sheets. Thank goodness I only have 5 sheets. I am curious to use it. Your video was helpful and showing the struggle is so helpful for us. I will try it though with a big design.
Some say they used a high tack transfer tape from Amazon and it worked great
This video was interesting to see. I'm New to Printable heat transfer vinyl, and from what I found, Of the PPD paper, Starcraft and HTVRont printable paper, The Siser easy color printable vinyl is the best I've used. Easy to weed, prints great and looks sick! I used the Frisco transfer tape to transfer the vinyl and cut the image out with a Cricut explore 2. I've had more issues with Starcraft, which I heard was great to use. Didn't work for me. I guess we just have to find what works best for us right? thank you for the video! much appreciated! and great Job!
The video is not a mess, the product is a mess. Thank you for keeping it real.
Facts. Lol It should not be that hard to transfer one single image
You did great in this video. You did exactly what we all would have done had we tried it. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing the pros and cons. I had issues with it when I did my birthday Tshirt months ago smh...I thought it was user error since I was new to using it. The next time I use it or easy subli, I will use some eco mist spray glue to transfer if I have small pieces in my design.
I use the Easy Color DTV all the time & love it... I have never had any issues with it transferring.. The directions tell you that you can ONLY use the TTD mask and that the EasySubli masks will not work...
I love when we can laugh at ourselves - I enjoyed that; your video was very helpful and informative just as it is - I would prefer to see the cons sometimes instead of it working for the content creator and not working for me and have me wondering what I did wrong... TY
Great video no need apologize.glad to see crafters who run into issue with product and let other crafters know the pros and cons.thanks
You’re very welcome
Other videos I watched others used a large offset to Make the image one piece so you don’t have to do weeding the small pieces.. hope that helps
Yeah I didn’t want to do that although it would be easier with this type of image. Thanks
This Stuff Gave Me A Fit This Weekend Omg!!
It’s giving everyone fits so sorry
Love your videos! Where can I get that design?
Thank you and creative fabrica
Thank you I'm getting that design and rework it for lots of stuff. The lady is just too cool.
Mine felt like paper. Same product.
Would it have been better to make an offset the same color as the shirt to make it one image as well as use the small white offset?
It would not have been the same black color and I don’t think that would have looked nice in my opinion. I wouldn’t want to do that for every design when I use the DTV
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 ok. That’s a fair answer. The shirt turned out great… like you always say… the colors were popping. Great video and lesson learned. Thanks.
Ok, i gotta know...what would you recommend as a replacement?
I stated that at the end of the video what my preferred printing method is
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 DTF...I missed that on my first watch. I didn't want to be bothered with all that powder, but I might need to give this stuff a chance...
I have a sawgrass printer.
You wouldn’t have had to weed if you set the letters with a background color
That matched the shirt.
Do NOT use the DTV for caps. The ink will immediately bleed and run from sweat. Siser's answer was to wash the item after pressing. You cannot wash structured ball caps before delivering them to the customer. Cost me big $ to eat and replace the order. This stuff is crap.
I had 4 shirts to do last weekend and I used this product. At first I used their transfer sheets and it was hell. i eventually used rhinestone transfer sheets and it worked perfectly. After it was pressed the transfer sheet was a little hard to pull off, but it did and there was no damage to the shirt or design.
Yes I thought about using rhinestone transfer sheets but I remember using it with transfer paper and it was so hard to peel off. I have another video showing that so I knew not to use it. It’s high tack but meant for rhinestones only
Good to know, thanks for sharing.
I love how real you are in your videos. I’m sorry you had so much trouble with it. You did save me a lot of stress as I was thinking of trying it. ❤❤❤❤ The design came out really nice. Thank you for sharing ❤❤ I was just chatting with my husband saying I feel there are too many’teachers’ out there not being real with us newbies. I know there are some people cutting/splicing their videos to make them look better in their demos but crafters like to see the real deal not the ‘false’ demo. Thank you for being you!❤❤❤❤ oh also, CrystalAnn used offset on hers so they were full pics so she didn’t have to use the mask at all.
I always show the real no matter what I’m doing. Sometimes it comes out perfect sometimes it doesn’t. But I did an offset I showed it I believe I cut it out in the design studios because I sped up the video. But it still wasn’t a big offset.
Hi Katrina. I just saw a video about the Siser DTV and they tested the intricate letters by placing the transfer sheet over the image after printing and before cutting. They used the medium cardstock with more pressure in cricut. Then weeded it and placed a 2nd transfer sheet and pressed. When removing the transfer sheet it also picked up the initial transfer materials that were on the letters. Maybe that will work for you. :) Best of luck.
Thank you! I tried your suggestion after wasting two sheets and it worked like magic! 😊🙌
I just tried this & worked! Except next time I may leave the cutting pressure to default because it went through the backing. But it still worked! Thank you for sharing
So, do they cut through the first transfer vinyl? So you would throw that away?
Use the regular transfer vinyl works amazing. I returned the mask back. You don’t need their Ty’s mask.
I’ve heard that too.
I have found it easier to use when you group the design and put an outline around it.
I use Siser DTV and I like it. I use ink jet printer. If the letters are small, I use the Cricut (forgot name) it makes back ground bigger or smaller on letters & it goes behind letters, use any color, I would of used black behind letters. I wouldn’t make the back ground too big but enough to peal paper off.
I have use my white toner ink jet printer and printed on this product and the color was vibrant & sharp.
This product washes up really nice too.
I am looking into sublimation and deciding what kind of printer I want.
I watched a video with sublimated ink on Siser DTV.
Only problem is sublimation won’t go on black…
Katrina you’re absolutely correct, only large images! If you want your sanity 😂
Thank you for not editing this video. I appreciate your honesty and a newbie. Love your videos!!!
You’re very welcome! Thank you 😊
I got the TTD high tack from heat transfer warehouse and I've never had this problem again. I actually forgot how bad it was before I switched to that mask until watching this video 😭
I loved when you said did you really think I had a solution? I love your videos, your so real! 😂
I tried this product last week and made 3 shirts, all worked out fine, I didnt was them but wore one the next day and got caught in the rain and the ink ran on the image, I was so disappointed with that as I was hoping to make some of my granddaughters art work with it. Any suggestions as to why it would have ran. I used an epson eco tank 2710 to print the images and cricuit maker to cut them.
I use the left over transfer film from just regular siser heat transfer vinyl, works great
The colors are great. I agree about the transfer. Weeding is already the worst and then when you can't get it to stick to transfer, I am always like 🤬
Hi Katrina, I had the same issues with Easy Subli and DTV. I thought it was me, not knowing what I was doing. The colors are great but trying to transfer is so very difficult. The products are not cheap. I love Siser HTV but not Easy Subli and DTV. Your videos are great and I learn a lot from you. So if you cannot get it to work that says a lot about the product and they are not worth the money!
It’s a great product it’s just they need a stronger transfer tape. It’s costly for the transfer tape not to be working.
Thanks for being so real love. I was going to invest in it but I’m like nah. I do love those vibrant colors but the transfer part, nope 🤣 cause i would have thrown it out the window 🤣 🤷🏽♀️ just saying. The shirt looks great tho’. Stay blessed love 🥰
😂 trust me I wanted to as well. But I had to stick with it. Sheesh a headache
You and me both. The for real me would have been in the closet crying. Thanks for being so composed Katrina, and truly you were. This video says a lot about you working with your baby too. Great mom I know for sure now.
Thanks for the honesty. The best results I have had was using the non Siser high tack ttd that I ordered from Amazon. The regular tack never worked for me. Another thing I do is let the image sit under the heat press to flatten it when it starts to curl. You are also right about using a large single layer image.
Thanks for the tip I never tried that. Because the TtD Mask not the Easy SUBLI ones don’t work. I was afraid to try my rhinestone ones.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 the high tack definitely works. But you are right the product is expensive
Meant the dtv is expensive
I just used this Siser this weekend as I was waiting on my Epson printer.
Katrina!! You told no lies! I think I had 4 mini heart attacks in the process of my Smurf theme tee-shirts. Oh my goodness!
I ended up using htv for the lettering of my main image. Oh my! I'll still use it but just for whole images and then vinyl for lettering. Thanks for the video as I was able to relate.
Yeah I have to use mines as well can’t let it go to waste but now only for big images nothing small.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711there you go! Your video title is so apt! It's indeed 'Pros and cons '! We adapt as we excel. 😂
I think I had better luck applying the mask before weeding to prevent letters from curling but you’re right it is a pain to transfer.
I’ve never done that first. Then you weed it off the mask hmmmmm
Yep, reverse weeding is how I've been doing easysubli. Couldn't do it the regular way and this method saved me
I have not sold anything with this product...i have had so much trouble with it. It went great the first few times it was ok..but it has stressed me out before
It’s definitely stressful. So sorry to hear that! Someone said they used the high tack transfer tape from Amazon and it works great.
I’ve used it 3 times to make Christmas sweaters it works good for! What I found out is I had to apply a good pressure and it came up each time for me. Thank you for your video and honesty so people can see it’s not always easy!
Is it durable though?
@@MissshonagirlNo. It fades, wrinkles and cracks. Sister needs to quit selling it.
I saw someone use regular transfer tape and it came off so easy, no residue left behind. A perfect transfer. I googled the product thinking it was a heat transfer tape. No just regular vinyl transfer tape. I want to try it with the DTV.
Yeah I heard and saw I’m going to try it as well.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711you are awesome, the point is why they sell things that aren’t even work as supposed to be.
The Siser Mask sucks! I switched to FriscoCraft transfer Mask and it works perfectly. This is a great product, just be sure to use the correct cut settings and transfer sheets
I used this last night with no issues, heating the product to cure your ink is why you are having issues, remember this is a heat transfer product, this product works best with photo dye inks vs. pigment ink.
I appreciate your review
Flagstaff arizona
I feel you, Katrina. I agree with you about this product
COLOR PROBLEM!! I use the Epson L1300 and on paper when printed everything looks ok, but when the transfer is baked, the image becomes very green. The vector when I work turns out ok (and he changes a little bit) But the grid always turns out to be terribly green. Does anyone have a solution?
I don't have any problems using regular transfer tape like Frisco transfer tape or regular masking tape.
I've just seen a Siser video of this stuff, and have seen some reviews, that said the color ran, when it got wet...like a rain drop, or a bunch of rain. I'm wondering how this holds up with washing, i.e. fading, running, staining other things, etc. Also, I wonder if you can use the Cricut transfer tape, rather than the TTP (or whatever it's called). Thank you for persevering. It's good to see someone's mistakes (although not for you), so we can see how you correct (or not, as the case may be), the problem.
My FAV reviewer as always, keeping it real & not cutting the b.s. - thanks for all u do to help us out
Oh my goodness. I was going to tell you to send it to me but after watching you work your way through it...girlll😮
😂😂The struggle was real I have a whole box left smh
so i have a question when using this product or easy subli do you have to use sublimation ink or can regular ink be used off of a regular printer??
Can you just keep it on the sheet it comes on and mirror the image and just skip the transfer paper altogether? Not sure if the clear sheet it comes on is heat friendly
SO CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEENTHIS AND THE EASY SUBLI
Oh NO!!! Girl! Please don’t stress. It’ll be okay. You’re great at what you do.
I’m good now. Thanks
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711
Good early morning at 1:50 AM. I just got home from my shop.
You are helping so many of us.
Have a wonderful weekend.
🌹🌹🌹
Well, nahn..., You are better than most of us. I was not there and I stressed. Sometimes you will stress and that's healthy. Thanks Katrina my girl. You did it just like it would be done in my house too, and truthfully you were cool compared to me probably doing some outrageous falling on the table crying before I got my composure back lol😂.
MAYBE HEATING IT BEFORE MASKING MADE IT STICK AND HARDER TO TRANSFER
Didnt use the clear sheet that supposedly come with the siser easy color also use a credit card an scap not a brayer
I have the transfersheets from siser i don't have had this problem yet maybe there is a different adhesive on it?
Could I use this paper to sublimation paper?
Thank you for keeping it real
The Siser transfer papers aren’t good
So the subli is better than the DTV ...
Their mask didn’t work for me. I have saved the mask from regular HTV to pick up the image and it works perfectly. Beautiful Image!
Great idea and thank you
thank you for the good bad and the ugly
Been there done that, very disappointed... thanks for your review
You’re welcome
This is why I love your channel. You show us the good and the bad.
Always! Thanks for watching 💕🙏🏽
I don’t know, but I guess I got it to work by total accident. I made a few shirts the first time using this and they came out pretty well. I used the sticky backing from the mats as the transfer sheet because I got it confused with an actual transfer sheet and realized it works great to not melt into the shirts. I pressed for a good 15 secs and then peeled it off. I realized this when I wanted to make a my daughter a shirt and I used actual transfer sheets. It melted into the shirts because I forgot to lift my press at 15 secs. I tried again and tried lifting at 15 secs and it had already started to melt. I only every do shirts for my family so I don’t have a lot of experience with shirts so watching your video makes me think I got it to work by accident.
However you got it....as long as it worked. now keep going and growing from there. We all have to start somewhere.
Sadly, as much as you probably want...I think you actually used a heat transfer sheet when it worked and the mat sheets were the ones that melted. Just saying. Heat Transfer paper, ~99% will not melt under the conditions we use it. Or you had the transfer paper for non-heat items. But as our girl said you got it to work and that matters.
Thanks for your video, whats your favourite dark Inkjet Transfer paper
I did use the scraper tool a little longer and put more pressure, came out great.
I did that still was a no go for me.
Just made a video on how I do it. Same as you just use a little more firmness I guess.
I am thinking about trying this product, has it gotten better since this video? thanks
I've been using this product and it works great for me. I use FriscoCraft transfer sheets and I have no issues transferring my images. The Siser transfer sheets aren't good. I almost gave up on this product until someone mentioned FriscoCraft. I printed a shirt for Christmas 2022 and it still looks great.
Wish I had seen this before I tried. I threw it in the garbage!
Sorry
This was a very good video. Frustration and all. Thank you. Siser is too expensive for me anyways and there is nothing that justifies their cost over some off brand names that weed just great. Thank you, for helping me not feel like a "tightwode" (that's a Big Mama saying from way back in the day). Lol😂❤
You did GREAT!!! Thank you for sharing. I was so excited about trying this product, but now I'll definitely be exploring other options. I'm not saying I won't try it, but yeah 😊
Once you wash it, it fades. Im not a fan
That has never happened to me
I use the easy subli mask as well, it was all I had and it came out great everytime.
Awesome did you have small pieces or large pieces?
Some of both.
If anyone doesn’t know you can reuse the mask more than one time at least-3-4 times
I had to use this in place of the StarCraft I used to buy. So when they sent the replacement (sister easy color) I didn’t get the mask either. Every time I tried to order it was out of stock. So watching your video, I can relate because that was me with StarCraft. I went back into the Atlanta vinyl store website & it was in stock! Yaaay so I’m ordering lots because I use this product a lot with kids shirts that often require a lot of color.
How long do the color last? I see all the defaults with designing and transferring but what about how many washes you will get before the color fades????
You have to use Siser TTD Easy transfer sheet with Easy Colour. It tells you that other transfer sheets will not work.
Not had a problem with it so far 🤞🏻
Thank you for taking your time to explain and being so real!! I am still learning and trying to figure out how to split my design to make it bigger. Have you talked about how to do this in a more recent video I can check out?
I had the same issue until i made it a whole piece...i didn't have the patience to go letter by letter...well done and i appreciate your honesty.
thanks so much for keeping it real with us. I bought this product, never used it yet
Sublimation ink also has its pros and cons. Just have to understand how best to use they products Thru trial ane error which you did.
Bless your heart for being motivated to document this mess. So many videos edit out the fumbling part. You did us a favor on this one.
I tried everything to make this product work. If you are not making a one piece it’s not worth it.
Pretty
Thank you
I agree with everything in this video. I actually made two shirts for someone. For one, it peeled off after one wearing. The other was a total pain because I had letter cut out.
How often can you wash it or is it already broken after 2x washes
As a small business I will take whatever Dtv you do not want. ❤️
I couldn't get it to adhere to my cotton t-shirt. I used an Easy press and after pressing for almost 3 minutes, there were still parts that weren't stuck down. 😒
Wow sorry to hear that I never had that problem. Keep trying. Make sure you peeled it from the backing. I never heard anyone say that. So back track to figure out what you did wrong.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711Hmm, I used the transfer mask that came in the package to pick it up. I'll keep playing with it, thanks!
All well wishes with everything. Take care...
Thank you for showing these challenges. I thought I was the only one going through with the little letters. I agreed this paper does the best with solid pieces. I also learned the hard way that I should not adjust the letters while on the press because they may not stick to the shirt. Ugg. 😂Keep shining sis.
I like it, but I think it's way to expensive,
Thanks for showing the real
Just try a low tack transfer paper
I thought it was me! I have had the exact same problem everytime I do an image with small or intricate designs. Not only do I have the problem with masking but I have the problem you had that the letters come off the backing. This tells me there is something wrong with their bonding between the vinyl and the sheet. This does not happen on easy iron on vinyl. I tried masking with Siser, Cricut and Frisco and I had problems with all of them. I love this product with big one piece designs but they really need to fix this. The struggle is real! I NEED them to get this right :) Thanks for the Video now I know I am not the only one.
You are definitely NOT alone! I’m going to be speaking to them soon!
Ive been using easy color and easy subli for a while now and not really happy with the cost vs time spent on doing projects, what product would you recommend over these? I have both inkjet and sublimation printers. As always great video!
DTF as stated at the end I don’t care to do print then cut or weed anymore bits too time consuming
I have the same issue with Easy-Subli. I don’t know if I am leaving it too long under the heat press to dry the ink or what. I was hoping this would help me while I’m trying to decide on WTT or DTF. 😢
I always dry my easy SUBLI as well I never have this much issues like the DTV.
I was wondering if you could help me. I have the Epson 2800. I used the hippo ink after watching on of your videos where you were trying the hippo ink. Anyway. My printer messed up after using 10 times it’s saying ink pads need attention. To contact Epson. Well I did and they had me send a pic of inside. Told me that I didn’t us Epson ink so warranty is no good. Can you help me and tell me what I can do to save my printer. Thank you.
I'm trying sorry, but I have no idea what happened because I can't see your printer, nor am I a tech. I would recommend you to look up videos on that specific printer. I don't have the 2800. So Sorry. Whatever ink you are buying there are different models...you have to be sure to buy the correct ink for that that specific printer. You may have to drain the ink out and start again. Please check the brand of ink for the model to make sure its for your actual printer. otherwise everything should work. You can put sublimation ink in any NEW printer as long as you never had inkjet in it prior.
Thanks for sharing Katrina, sorry you had such a struggle🥲 I did experience some issues with it sticking even with the mask, but my designs were a lot smaller. Where was the design from?
This design was from creative fabrica
