Pcampo 0 Posted February 10, 2017 I'm just starting out making kids/baby tshirts and I was wondering if there's matte finish htv? If so, would that be better to use than the regular finish htv on tshirts? Would it cost more? Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted February 10, 2017 Won't make a lot of difference but the stretch is a little softer. I haven't tried the lightweight stuff yet. I bet it would be really nice on a white onesie. You can buy most of the ht. by the foot if you only need a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcbevins 340 Posted February 10, 2017 Easyweed Strech claims to be ultra-matte, but I haven't tired. Sometimes you can go from gloss to matte on a many HTV brands by cold peeling, but most have their glossiness built in. Hitting the HTV a second time can sometimes mute glossiness, but not eliminate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted February 10, 2017 also try using a butcher paper over your htv if you want to tone down the gloss a little - I use siser colorprint pu for the solvent printer but waiting on resolution on the 2 rolls I have that came off the backing by itself after printing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikemike 711 Posted February 10, 2017 Parchment paper works good as well for taking the shine down. Do a second shorter press after removing the carrier sheet. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
