Do you heat transfer with this transfer paper still over the vinyl? I guess I am asking if you can use a hot iron on this product?

No this is not for use with heat transfer vinyl. If you're looking for something to put over heat transfer vinyl get some Teflon sheets.

I have read other users used a hair dryer to warm the plastic to "iron out" the wrinkles , I have not tried it, I left my windshield on mine, so I keep the front rolled down.

If I were you I wouldn't buy the product unless you're very good at applying the vinyl. It makes it more difficult to reapply the vinyl if you make a mistake. Better to just apply the vinyl without it or just use it on small projects.

You can use scissors to cut it. However if you are using it for a heat press, the machine cuts the vinyl without cutting the adhesive backing. You need the backing to remove the adhesive from the vinyl after it is pressed. So yes to scissors if you arent using a heat press afterwards..... Hope that helps.

If you are talking about heat transfer paper, yes it does. That is all I use it for.

No, this is for vinyl sticker decals for cars and such. For t-shirt iron ons, you want to look for heat transfer vinyl. I highly recommend Siser Easyweed brand HTV for shirts.

Yes, put the vinyl on the cutting mat before cutting and then put on the transfer tape. I also looked on you tube to check the settings for my cutting machine.

When it is on, the iron is heated. It does not overheat to my knowledge or experience.

I think you can use it on vinyl. I have it on vinyl tile and I have not experienced any problems. I am using it right now, and it is nice because I put my feet right on the mat, and it warms me right up - but it is not as hot as some reviewers seem to imply. If it was super hot, I could not keep bare feet on it for hours. If you are concerned about staining because of the heat, you could buy some sort of fiber door mat to raise it off the floor.

Yes. There is no problem on the inkjet to transfer paper. The iron on question is not with the R2880 but with the fabric. If you use a iron hot enough to do the transfer, some synthetic fabrics may melt under the hot iron. Fabrics like cotton and linen can take the heat some of the synthetics cannot. Fabric texture can also be a problem. You may transfer to the top of the texture, but not to the bottom. A knit cotton "T" shirt should be fine. However, it is best to try it out on a sample scrap of fabric first.

Margo, The vinyl is a lot thicker than contact paper but it uses the same concept. I tried a sample piece on my countertop has it has worn well. I haven't been able to complete mine because I am laying over tile with very large grout lines. I am not willing to tear it up and everything I had tried still left marks through the vinyl. I now have found an acrylic overlay that I am going to try to make a smooth surface. I can tell you that even thought they say it is forgiving over scratches and marks, I haven't found that to be true. It does heat up with a blow dryer to go over corners.

No. It is to divert heat from source. Not for wrapping the heated surface. You might want a insulated blanket or a wrap that's rated for high heat for your application.

Carol..did you buy it? Do you put your hot irons in the plastic holders? I do not know why the whole thing isn't made of metal.

Then you don't have to worry about there not being something under it, the original material will be under it. All you'll probably have to do is put a small amount of the liquid vinyl over the burn, then use the heating device to cure the liquid.

This is thick plastic, but I would not suggest putting a hot iron into anything until it is cool for safety reasons.

No. This is just the vinyl with a sticky back. Vinyl Ease makes some iron on vinyl for shirts. You can find it on amazon at a good price and it's always held up well for me.
