Stahls’ ID Direct introduces a new heat transfer material, Fashion-FILM.
On August 26th, Mel hosted a webinar along with Juliet Kalmeta from Stahls’ ID Direct on a fantastic CAD-CUT® heat transfer material, Fashion-FILM™. Fashion-FILM™ was introduced to the industry last year and is a very lightweight and thin product. It can be cut on just about any vinyl cutter, and can be used to get very fine detail. But don’t let the soft hand and thinness fool you- it’s extremely durable. It can be used on anything from tee shirts, to denim, to athletic uniforms and much much more. And the color selection (44 colors, including metallics and reflective) makes Fashion-FILM™ a material to use for almost any job.
We had a lot of questions regarding the cutting of Fashion-FILM™, so we’ll try to address them all here.
- You can cut the material on any friction-fed vinyl cutting machine.
- It’s available in both 15″ and 20″ widths and, depending on the cutter, you can cut scrap pieces down to 2″.
- You don’t need a special blade to cut Fashion-FILM™, just the standard blade for your cutter (in the case of the Roland GX-24, you’d use a 45° blade).
- Because it is such a thin material, you don’t need a lot of force to cut with.
- Make sure you do some test cuts to make sure that you have the proper amount of force to go along with the amount of blade exposed in the blade holder.
