The pros:
-pretty
-shiny
-looks just like the picture
Cons:
Oh…where do I start?
-Thin AF
-doesn’t cut well
-impossible to weed well
-inconsistent cutting by the color possible different thickness per color
-the clear sheet and the HTV aren’t adhered well. It kept pulling up at the edges while cutting with a fresh blade
Long review:
Overall, this seems like it’d be a good deal on gorgeous HTV, but this is far from the case. Based on how much vinyl was wasted in my two test cuts, you’re better off getting HTV from another supplier.
The colors are extremely pretty, and it’s photo accurate. What you can’t tell from the photos is how thin and unstable the HTV is. I haven’t been able to test it by ironing due to how inconsistent the cuts were.
I did two tests of 5” strips. The first cut I did on Cricut’s “Glitter Vinyl” setting. This setting caused my cricut to cut straight through the vinyl and clear sheet. I cancelled the cut, and adjusted to the less pressure option on my computer. The second half of the HTV was cut with the lighter pressure, but even that was still too much for the vinyl.
I decided to do a second cut on just the standard vinyl setting with normal pressure, and it cut straight through again. Second half of the sheet I did standard vinyl with light pressure and it still cut all the way through.
Through all of the cutting, the vinyl kept separating from the edge of the clear acetate sheet. At one point, the cut out letters came separated from the acetate sheet, and ended up getting pushed around by my machine as it cut other portions of the vinyl.
Overall, I wouldn’t suggest to buy this. It’s pretty, but that’s where the pros really end.
