Wildgoose 4,200 Posted August 1, 2014 it's less expensive the longer roll you buy obviously. But I also concur with the others. SISER is the product of choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xpaperman 719 Posted August 1, 2014 One a side note..... I use only siser easy weed here with the exception of glitter stuff I use another brand. That being said, Last week I was in a bind and needed some black heat transfer vinyl ASAP. Could not even wait the 24 hours for US Cutter to get it to me.... I went to several places in my area/surrounding areas to see if I could find a roll. When I asked if they had any siser heat transfer vinyl they ALL replied with "No, never heard of it but I have XYZ brand.. I was so taken back by the fact that (at least here) so many people swear by it but yet locally no one has heard of it. Oh well.... I will keep using it. I like it and the price!

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted August 1, 2014 I sell Siser on Craigslist all the time and this week somebody called demanding to know why i was so much cheaper than the people he buys thermoflex from. He had never heard of Siser either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xpaperman 719 Posted August 1, 2014 Hmm.... maybe I should start selling siser locally!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mactube 11 Posted August 1, 2014 I wanted to order the Siser Vinyl but review about the Vinyl not being that good for detailed graphics kept me from ordering it so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted August 1, 2014 I have cut letters down to around 1/16 inch high without trouble and as much detail as I can stand to weed. It's shinier than thermoflex but if that bothers you just repress for a few seconds with parchment paper over it. XPAPERMAN I don't get rich selling Siser but I do it as a convenience for the people with cricuts and the like. I get $4 a ft. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted August 1, 2014 I wanted to order the Siser Vinyl but review about the Vinyl not being that good for detailed graphics kept me from ordering it so far. I don't know who wrote that review because its as detail friendly as any I have ever used. I's thinner than a lot of others out there which IMO ends up with a lighter hand and less noticeable when wearing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted August 1, 2014 It's the same problem with vinyl reviews, if they don't have the machine set up right they blame the material. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jarrotto 78 Posted August 2, 2014 I have been using Premium Plus from Stahls, Stretchy, Soft with a nice matte finish. It has been an excellent product so far. All except for one roll that could have used more adhesive on the carrier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted August 2, 2014 I don't think they're the same. Siser is more of a semi gloss unless you repress with parchment paper. I've tried thermoflex which sounds more like stalls but the price doesn't compete with siser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted August 3, 2014 They are def not the same company. I have some stahls in stock but primarily use the Siser products. Stahls "Fashion Film" is pretty much the same characteristics as Siser Easyweed Stretch. They have some other good product too but the price is a bit higher.

jarrotto 78 Posted August 3, 2014 To clarify I was not saying the products were the same, I don't know that they are the same company. I have not done any research so it was probably useless to even throw that out there. I haven't used ezweed yet but I look forward to testing it. Pricing is pretty similar when comparing Ez weed to Stahls Premium Plus. Siser - $39.99 20"x5 yard roll. Stahls Premium Plus $38 20"x5 yard. I'm sure they are both great products.

mactube 11 Posted August 10, 2014 Hey, thanks for everybody's opinion and input.. Siser Easyweed arrived and works fine.. I cut it with 300 Speed and 25g pressure ( SC cutter) .. thats something a wanted to sake people anyway .. What kind of pressure and speed settings do you use ( I know it depends on the cutter and also how far the blade sticks out) , but that would be interesting to know!!??

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted August 10, 2014 pressure and settings are subjective and different for every machine - even slight differences within the same model - so actual testing is the only way to get a true best setting on your machine. I see it a lot on the crafter sites where the less accurate machines everyone wants to use the same settings - now with that group set that might work but with more accurate machines I have found it is best to set according to that particular machine and blade (heck even the same blade will have slight differences as it wears) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mactube 11 Posted September 3, 2014 I've been super satisfied with Siser Easyweed but they only have so few colors . I'm looking for an orange, some neon colors etc. were do I get a better verity of the easy weed ? Or Can somebody recommend a similar vinyl with more colors to choose from ?

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted September 3, 2014 Easyweed has orange. Look into the florescent colors for neons. The fl. orange, green, pink, raspberry and yellow are extremely bright. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
