Let’s break down how EasyColor DTV works, why it’s superior to paper-based transfers, and the step-by-step process for cutting and applying it.

 

How to Use Siser EasyColor DTV with Your Inkjet Printer

 

Step 1: Print Your Design

• Use an inkjet printer (no special inks required).
• Print on the dull side of the EasyColor DTV sheets or rolls.
• Allow ink to dry before cutting.

Step 2: Cut Your Design

For best results, use a Cricut or Silhouette cutter with the following settings:

Cricut Explore Air:

• Blade: AutoBlade

• Setting: Vinyl+

Silhouette Cameo 4:

• Blade: AutoBlade, 3

• Force: 6

• Speed: 8

(Tip: Always perform a test cut before cutting your final design.)

Step 3: Peel & Mask with TTD Easy Mask

Since EasyColor DTV does not have a built-in carrier sheet, you’ll need to use TTD Easy Mask Heat Transfer Tape to lift the design off its backing and transfer it to fabric.

🔹 Choose the right size for your project:

• 12” rolls of TTD Easy Mask

• 20” rolls of TTD Easy Mask

Gently peel the design from the backing using TTD Easy Mask, ensuring a smooth transfer.

Step 4: Heat Press Your Design

Use a heat press or Cricut EasyPress with the following settings:

Heat Press:

• Temperature: 310°F (155ºC)

• Time: 15 seconds

• Pressure: Medium

• Peel: Hot

Cricut Press:

• Temperature: 340°F (170°C)

• Time: 25-35 seconds

• Pressure: Medium

• Peel: Hot

Step 5: Laundering Instructions for Longevity

• Wait 24 hours before the first wash.

• Machine wash cold with mild detergent.

• Do not bleach or dry clean.

• Tumble dry on low.

• Wash inside-out for best results.

• Avoid liquid fabric softener to preserve print quality.

Why Siser EasyColor DTV is the Best Alternative to Paper-Based Heat Transfers

If you’ve ever used paper-based heat transfers, you know the frustration—cracking, peeling, and fading after a few washes. EasyColor DTV solves these problems with a high-quality, long-lasting solution.

7 Reasons to Choose EasyColor DTV Over Paper Transfers

 

1️⃣ Long-Lasting & Durable Designs 💪

Paper transfers often fade or peel after just a few washes. EasyColor DTV is designed to last through dozens of washes while maintaining its color and flexibility.

2️⃣ Soft, Lightweight Feel 👕

Unlike stiff, plastic-like paper transfers, EasyColor DTV has a smooth, lightweight finish that moves naturally with fabric.

3️⃣ Crisp, Full-Color Prints 🌈

Paper transfers struggle with fine details and color accuracy. EasyColor DTV prints rich, vibrant colors with stunning clarity—perfect for detailed designs.

4️⃣ Works with Any Inkjet Printer 🖨️

You don’t need sublimation ink or special equipment—just a standard inkjet printer and EasyColor DTV sheets or rolls!

5️⃣ Stretchable Without Cracking 💥

Paper transfers can crack under stress, but EasyColor DTV flexes with fabric to keep designs looking sharp.

6️⃣ Superior Wash & Wear Resistance 🚿

No more peeling or fading! EasyColor DTV stands up to repeated washing and heat exposure.
