While it's marketed mostly as an alternative to sublimation for clothing you can do so much more with it - including applying to wood, canvas, flock, and glitter HTV.  Here are five of my favorite - and mind blowing - ways to use Inkjet Printable HTV. Read this and you'll see why I say it's a must have in every craft room! 

Starcraft Inkjet Printable HTV is my favorite and the one I use the most often for both lights and darks. I used the inkjet printable for lights for all of the examples below! 

Inkjet Printable on Wood 

If you're like me and you hate painting but you have multi-color designs you need to put onto wood which would require a lot of layers of HTV - use printable inkjet instead!  The process is as simple as print then press.

  4. Hello Everyone!

    I am trying to discover a way to use the WHOLE sheet of paper when using print and cut.

    I have been seeing people use their cricuts to bypass using registration marks, allowing them to use the whole sheet of paper. However, when I import an image into Silhoutette studio, it usually cuts about a cm or so off to the left, as if I placed it too far to the center of the mat.

    I sincerely DESPISE using registration marks because it forces me to shrink my image, and puts a stupid amount of space that I can't use with those checkerboard zones.

    If anyone can think of a method to do this, PLEASE let me know, contact me or something. I am even willing to PAY to be taught how to do this. I simply cannot fathom paying the prices of "EasySubli" then throwing away pieces of it because this cutter doesn't want to cut an actual 8.5 x 11 sheet...
