Error- and Worry-Free with AlbaChem: A New USCutter Product for Removing Heat Transfer Vinyl

We’ve had a hot seller come through the docks at USCutter, and thought you should know about it.

Ever make a mistake?

Well, the wizards at Albatross have invented a magic potion which can take you back in time a few seconds (the length of a heat press cycle) and make it as if you never put that vinyl letter on the t-shirt crooked, or misspelled your niece’s name.

You don't have to be perfect...anymore.
You don’t have to be perfect…anymore.

Worry no more. AlbaChem Vinyl Letter Removing Solvent is a new product that completely removes HEAT TRANSFER VINYL letters and other graphics, and residual adhesives from most fabrics. The applicator spout allows for easy application minimizing waste. Apply a few drops on the reverse side of the garment to dissolve the adhesive. Then simply peel off the graphic. Highly effective and fast drying, Vinyl Letter Remover saves you time and money by dramatically reducing “seconds”. Check out the video here to see how you can use this exciting new product in your workspace!

With a few simple materials, and a (cheap-relative to wide format latex or solvent) dye sub printer, and by following a few simple steps, you can easily achieve results like this….

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

Dye-Sublimation Printer.

Heat Press [both of these pieces of equipment are available as a new USCutter bundle!]

GreenStar Clear Vinyl ($8.49 for a 12″ x 5yd roll).

Teflon Sheet.

Hobby knife. Squeegee.

Any high-quality image that you’d like to reproduce.

 

STEP 1:

Print any image (why not choose one with fine details and rich colors?) onto sublimation paper with your dye-sub printer. You can print directly from Windows Photo Viewer. Choose the highest quality setting.

STEP 2:

Pre-warm your heat press. Temperature should be set to 350° F; time to 30 seconds; and pressure should be quite firm.

STEP 3:

Cut a piece of clear adhesive vinyl large enough for your image from the roll. Put the piece of clear vinyl you have cut BACKING DOWN onto the lower heat press platen. Then put the sublimation paper face-down on top of the vinyl’s finished surface. Cover with a Teflon sheet (this is CRUCIAL). Press for 30 seconds.

STEP 4:

Remove Teflon sheet following the 30 second heat press cycle. THEN PEEL THE SUBLIMATION PAPER TRANSFER SHEET WARM TO THE TOUCH AS FAST AS YOU CAN. Let it cool a little but not too long or the sublimation paper will stick to the vinyl, and will be very difficult if not impossible to remove. As it is you may need a hobby knife to remove the paper completely.

Process is quick and easy. From print to window application in under 5 minutes!

STEP 5:

NOW HERE IS THE MAGIC PART. The sublimation inks have transferred to the other side of the clear vinyl and bonded to the adhesive side. Notice after peeling the vinyl backing how much more vivid the adhesive side is than the side with the finished surface.

STEP 6:

Now just apply to the back of any transparent substrate! Windows, glass frames, PLEXI Glass, vehicle windshields.

Depicts vivid color with fine detail.
