How to Use Matte Heat Transfer Vinyl

1. Cut & Weed
Mirror your design before cutting. Cut the matte HTV with a compatible cutting machine, then carefully weed away the excess vinyl.

2. Pre-Press the Fabric
Pre-press the garment for a few seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles. This helps create a clean, flat surface for transfer.

3. Position the Design
Place the weeded design on the fabric with the adhesive side facing down. Make sure the design is flat and correctly positioned.

4. Heat Press
Press at 140–145°C (284–293°F) with 3–5 kg medium pressure for 8–10 seconds.

5. Peel the Film
Use warm peel or cold peel according to the specific product specification.

6. Check the Transfer
Make sure the edges and details are firmly bonded. Allow the garment to cool before washing.

FAQs

Can you sublimate on matte HTV?

Yes, but only if the matte HTV is specially formulated for sublimation. Regular matte heat transfer vinyl is not recommended because it may not withstand the high temperature required for sublimation and may not properly absorb sublimation ink. For cotton, blends, or dark fabrics, matte white sublimation HTV is the best choice because it creates a white printable surface for vibrant full-color designs.
