Layering heat transfer materials can be challenging—and doing it well even more so. In this archived video of a recent live class hosted by Stahls’ TV, presenter Courtney Matlick-Kubitza addresses the ins and outs of a variety of multilayer vinyl heat transfer applications and the variables they involve.
Topics include materials, layering techniques and special effects. Applications from basic two-color graphics to advanced designs incorporating multiple colors and specialty materials are demonstrated, and alternative approaches discussed. You’ll learn how to determine the best material and technique for the job, as well as strategies for meeting common challenges, such as shrinking, stretching and carrier marks.
There are tips and tricks for combining materials with different application specifications and even for creating layered effects with materials that can’t be direct layered. The video’s classroom format also enables you to benefit from answers to real-world questions posed from the industry professionals attending.
