Print Project

Step 1

Click here for the design and upload into Leonardo Design Studio™. If needed, size the design as desired to it your surface.
TIP: Remove the translated version you do not need.

Step 2

Place HTV material on your cutting mat with the carrier side facing down. Load cutting mat into your Juliet™ cutter and mirror your design.
TIP: If the direction of your design is important (such as words or a state, etc.), be sure to mirror the design.

Step 3

In Leonardo™ Design Studio, select the pre-set cut settings for your material and cut. Remove vinyl from cutting mat when complete. Repeat for additional layers.
TIP: You can also cut HTV using your Juliet™ cutter without a cutting mat. Just make sure you perform a test cut to ensure that you're still getting the perfect cut.

Step 4

Use scissors to cut the design from each HTV roll to save any unused material; then use your weeder tool to remove all the excess material around and inside your design so you are left with just the reversed design on the clear plastic carrier sheets, which are slightly sticky.

Step 5

Set your heat press to 305°F [150°C] and place the shirt on the bottom platen. Pre-press the shirt for a few seconds to remove any wrinkles or moisture.
TIP: Press each layer, one at a time, starting with the bottom layer.

Step 6

If your material is the warm peel type, you may go ahead and peel off the carrier sheet. If your material is a cool peel type, let it cool completely before removing the carrier sheet.
