What type if vinyl is used with the Craft Robo for t shirts. The vinyl that came with the machine has got a sticky side to it. What is that called?

Thanks

You'll need Transfer Vinyl for T-shirts (clear mylar backing, so you would cut in mirror image). Normal Sign Vinyl is glossy on outside with a heavier silicone backing (normally printed with manufacturer name i.e. oracal 650).

Hope that makes sense.

The Transfer vinyl uses the heat press to stick to the t's I take it? Also what is flex? When I used the cutter it also cut through the plastic backing in some places, what is the reason for that?

to much pressure or blade too far out of holder.

Ok thanks.

Flex is the name given to heat transfer material for t-shirts etc. Some people call this Vinyl, but Vinyl is the name given to sticky backed material for windows/ cars etc.

ok so whats flock lol
i love this place u learn something new all the time

Don't get Martin started on Vinyl and Flex .................. you say 'potato' and I say 'petato' :biggrin::biggrin:

And flock is a collective name for a group of animals that live together, or perhaps a group of people under the leadership of one person
:biggrin::biggrin:


Flock is like a velvity material like suede (higher surface and blunts your blades).

Flex is just a basic garment vinyl (sorry Martin) garment flex, that is smooth.

grrr...we sell vinyl and flex and it is very confusing when someone phones up and asks for, say, black vinyl - meaning they want black Flex not black Vinyl:eek:

I was thinking what is flock... Now I know.

Thanks for the great service you provided Martin, I ordered a quite a few bits on Monday and your systems were down, but you still got it out to me for Tuesday. Unlike lovecuts, I ordered a heat press late Monday thought they would send it Tuesday and would get it today. Know chance as sagepay is a fault!

I know it's only a day but I couldn't wait to get going today!

I am going to cut some flex today and iron it on, has anyone got any advice on that?

Thanks
