No. Our transfers are much different than HTV in that the adhesive can’t just be activated in order for the application to be complete. Our heat transfers require adequate and even pressure as well as accurate and even temperature in order to ensure you have a transfer that applies properly. Using an iron or Cricut easy press just doesn’t provide enough pressure or accurate temperature to apply a heat transfer properly.

We have a very detailed post in our blog on how to extract a zip file. Please click on this link https://handmadebytoya.com/blog/how-tos/how-to-use-a-zip-file/.

Applying our transfers is super simple. Follow the steps and instructions below to achieve perfect results on your next project!

No Teflon Sheets, Covers or Pillows. Ever.
They dissipate the heat too much, resulting in a poorly applied transfer.

Calibrate Your Heat Press.
You will need to use a quality Infrared (IR) Temperature Gun (Contactless) to ensure your heat press is heating evenly and accurately. You should do this each and every time you start a new pressing cycle.

Pressure, Pressure, Pressure.
Our transfers will give you a quality and long-lasting decoration solution, but you HAVE to ensure you are using adequate and even pressure. This will ensure the formula properly adheres to your garment. Not using enough pressure can result in poorly applied transfers, that may peel.

Water resistant, waterproof, and fireproof garments:
We recommend testing a sample on your item before production. Water resistant, waterproof and fireproof garments may not accept a heat transfer application.

  • Temperature: 325 Degrees Fahrenheit 
  • Time: 7 Seconds 
  • Pressure: High Pressure (8-9 Manual, 60PSI Automatic) 
  • Peel: Hot Peel

After unzipping the file, please upload the SVG file in your cutting machine system to fully see all the design aspects. It is not blank or missing the design, it contains white color in it’s design and white will not show on white the way you are opening the file.

SVGs need a SVG program like Cricut or Silhouette to open properly, which is what your cutting machine system is. Once you open it in your cutting machine the white in the design will show up with the cut lines.

What are screen print transfers?
A screen printed transfer (also known as a plastisol transfer) is an image which has been screen printed onto release paper. Instead of being directly screen printed onto a shirt or other item, the design is printed onto transfer paper, then applied with a heat press. These prints are opaque with a white under layer (so you cannot see through the colored areas and there is no color mutation concern, they lay on top of the fabric of the shirt. This is why you can use them on more colors and just about any fabric types. They offer the most application flexibility. They are more flexible and softer than printed htv and lots of other types of full color print options.
