Review on Silhouette Heat Print LT: The Ultimate Printable Transfer Material by Barbara Simmons

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Don't waste your time and money like me :(

This product is terrible. If it were possible to give negative stars I would. I ordered it to have a printed T -Making a shirt then the cutting function on my Cricut was wasted 1st sheet because the printer ink ran out (my mistake) 2nd sheet was the first to be cut with Cricut I used the hot melt setting on vinyl (there was none Recommendation for liner in pouch with machine settings; just putting it in the printer and the actual instructions for use.) There were a few issues with the first cut - the blade cut through the vinyl and through the transfer film.The paper stuck to my mat (with standard handle Actual vinyl peeled off 2nd cut - I've changed my settings to "Custom": printed vinyl, standard printing (I'm new to Cricut and didn't know there were custom settings for d for printed vinyl. At the same time, there were instructions to be given. If there weren't any indications that this parameter needs to be changed, I could look for it. I understand this is a Silhouette product - I am assuming this machine has a similar setting that needs adjustment.). I also re-uploaded my design to Design Space and simplified the cut by eliminating the thinner cuts and just keeping the actual outline. It was a small child's drawing with wide lace markings - it was NOT a complicated cut. I pressed the go button and crossed my fingers. I have the same results. After scraping off the paper stuck to my mat, I placed the fourth sheet from the bag onto my mat, set the cutting pressure to light, and pressed Go. And again he got the same results - he lifted the vinyl, cut through the substrate and the paper stuck to the mat. At this point I was so frustrated that I gave up and actually threw away the last piece in the package along with all the leftovers from previous attempts. It was an extremely disappointing experience. I spent two hours on this and I don't have a Father's Day shirt to show off and I wasted my money. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS VINYL!
