A couple of questions about vinyl for garments
Hi
Right got my Pcut mini working (thank god) Got my heat press off ebay (non wobbly base).
Got my Vinyl (Grafiflex) for the t-shirts, run off a couple of samples and all seems cool.
But I have a couple of questions
1) What heat and time do I need to bond the vinyl correctly? I used 170C for 70 Secs, it’s grafiflex Thought it would come with some info but didn’t, The T-shirt seems fine but I have yet to wash it!
2) When doing a larger design do you cut this at full size? what I’m trying to say is do you lay out on the vinyl how it will look and waste loads of vinyl or do you layout so you get the maximum out of the vinyl (like a dressmaker does) and the space out on the garment before pressing? does that make sense??
Thanks for any help as always
Chris
