Stahls' CAD-COLOR® Express Print® Printable Heat Transfer Vinyl

Stahls' Express Print is a printable heat transfer material intended for full-color garment graphics produced with compatible print/cut equipment. Unlike solid-color CAD-CUT films, printable HTV allows shops to reproduce multicolor logos, gradients, photographic elements and other artwork that cannot be created efficiently from individual cut colors.

• Product type: Printable heat transfer material
• Workflow: Print, contour cut, weed, mask where required and heat apply

Common Applications

Full-color logos, photographic graphics, promotional apparel, team graphics and complex multicolor garment decoration.

Choosing This Material

Choose printable HTV when the artwork requires full color or complex printed detail. Confirm printer/ink compatibility, required print-and-cut workflow, masking material and heat-application instructions for the exact Express Print product before production.

Cutting, Printing & Heat-Press Guidance

Use the production workflow specified for this exact material family. For cut HTV, mirror the artwork before cutting, perform a test cut, weed the excess material and heat apply with even time, temperature and pressure. For printable material, verify printer, ink, contour-cut and masking compatibility before production. Always test the actual garment because coatings, dyes, fabric blends and heat sensitivity vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as standard matte HTV?
No. This material has a specialized finish, construction or performance purpose. Select it because that characteristic is appropriate for the finished garment.

Can I use it on any garment?
No heat-transfer material should be assumed compatible with every textile. Confirm the garment fabric and test unfamiliar, coated, sublimated or heat-sensitive garments before production.

Should I test before a production run?
Yes. Test cutting or printing, adhesion, heat tolerance and finished appearance on the actual garment whenever possible.
