A standard t-shirt front design (10" × 12") needs about 1.15 ft² of HTV including 15% weeding waste. From a 12" roll, that is 11.5 linear inches. Multi-color designs need separate sheets for each color.
Standard HTV needs 305°F for 15 seconds with medium pressure. Glitter HTV needs 320°F for 20 seconds. Specialty types like puff require higher temperatures (340°F) to activate the raising effect.
| HTV Type | Temp | Time | Peel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 305°F | 15 sec | Warm |
| Glitter | 320°F | 20 sec | Cold |
| Flock | 305°F | 20 sec | Cold |
| Puff | 340°F | 12 sec | Warm |
Yes, always mirror (flip horizontally) your design before cutting. HTV is applied face-down with the carrier sheet on top, so the design must be reversed to read correctly after pressing.
Standard HTV costs about $0.80/ft², so a single t-shirt design costs roughly $0.92. Specialty types like glitter ($1.50/ft²), foil ($2.20/ft²), and glow-in-dark ($3.00/ft²) increase costs 2–4x.
