10.05 Iron-On Transfer

Types of Iron-On Transfer

 There are a number of different kinds of vinyl available at KNK USA:
 Regular Iron-On Transfer (T-Shirt Vinyl)
 Iron-On Flock
 Glitter Flex and Glitter Flex Ultra
 And more!

Cutting Iron-On

 Iron-on transfer vinyl and flock consists of three layers:

Heat-resistant layer
(shiny side)

Iron-on vinyl
Adhesive (dull side)
 For cutting, have the dull side up (adhesive side up):

Blade only cuts through adhesive and vinyl and
not through the thicker heat resistant layer

 Because iron-on transfer has the heat protection layer, which will not be cut, this can serve as the
carrier/mat during cutting. The material will need to be at least 13” wide so that both sides will be gripped by
the pinch wheels. If you are cutting from iron-on which is narrower than this or cutting from scraps, then use
a cutting mat to hold the material during the cut. Alternatively, you can tape the iron-on to a wider medium,
such as contact paper, and that can serve as a carrier in the Zing.
 The force required is ~20 – 30 for regular iron-on. Other types may require higher settings. Be sure to do a
test cut first and then see if the vinyl layer will peel away from backing. You should be able to cut at a speed
of 15 (or 10 on the original Zing).
 Remember to reverse your image before cutting! Because you are cutting with the adhesive side up, you’ll
be flipping the material over, after weeding, but before pressing. To mirror your image, select it and then
apply the Mirror function.
 Cut around your image with scissors before weeding. Note that it’s really hard to see the cut image, so be
careful!
 Use a paper piercer or craft knife to grab onto a piece of the waste vinyl and then pull to remove. Remember
to weed small internal parts, as well.
