For reflective effects on cotton and cotton-blend fabrics

GlitterFlex™ is a flexible polyurethane film that encapsulates small reflective polyester pieces for a glittering visual effect.

► Create your design in graphics software, such as Corel Draw and mirror the image in the effects menu.

► Load GlitterFlex™ onto your plotter.

Always test cut to ensure proper depth, speed and down force. This material is thicker than most so it is especially important to perform a test cut before plotter cutting your final image.

Cut in mirror image.

Weed film from carrier that you do not want to transfer.

Place image on the surface to which you are transferring the film

Place a Teflon sheet between the heat platen and the polyester carrier sheet to prevent sticking and edge damage to the transferred design.

► Heat press at 285° F for 3 seconds using firm even pressure.

► Peel cold and carefully! Use a dull blade to help separate the image from the carrier sheet if necessary.

► Cover transferred image with Teflon sheet and reheat for 10 seconds.

► If GlitterFlex™ only partially adheres to the fabric it is usually because insufficient or uneven pressure was applied. If this happens, reposition the design and repress, but do not increase the time or temperature.

► Wash inside-out, cold water, gentle cycle, tumble dry with low heat.

► Apply to cotton, polyester, and blends. Will NOT adhere to nylon
