Customizing PU Vinyl with Vinyl Cutters
When designing with PU Vinyl, it is important to have the right cut settings to facilitate weeding and excellent transfer, whether you are using Cricut or Silhouette. Follow the table below for a general idea.
| Cutting Machine | Setting |
|---|---|
| Cricut Explore Air 2 | Material: Vinyl Pressure: 220 |
| Cricut Maker | Material: Holographic Vinyl
Pressure: 180-185 |
| Cricut Maker 3 | Material: Permanent Glossy Pressure: 120-130 |
| Silhouette Cameo 4 | Blade: 3
Pressure:15 Speed:4 |
Following are certain tips for an excellent cut:
- Make sure that the blade is sharp. Use a standard or fine-point blade.
- Your vinyl should be placed correctly on the cutting mat. The grid helps in straight, accurate, placement.
- If you cannot weed a design easily, you need to adjust your cut settings.
- Remember, cutting vinyl is a trial and error method so always ‘Test Cut’ your PU HTV before working on the actual design.
PU Vinyl Durability and Maintenance
The durability of your PU Vinyl depends on how well you have maintained the designed fabric. It is a remarkable heat transfer film that lasts more than 50 wash cycles if taken care of properly. This is what you have to do:
- After applying PU Vinyl to your home decor project, allow it to cure for at least 24 hours.
- Wash your pillowcase or table runner with your hands in cold water. If opting for machine wash, use a gentle cycle.
- Do not dry clean, bleach, or use fabric softener.
- Wash in mild, non-abrasive detergent.
- Air dry the PU HTV decorated fabric. If using a dryer, select a low heat setting.
- Place a thin cloth over the design when ironing. Do not use high heat directly on the vinyl pattern.
