Infusible ink is a revolutionary new type of fabric printing technology that can be used on a variety of different materials. The ink is infused into the fabric, as opposed to being printed on top of it like traditional methods. It’s known for its superior durability and vibrant colors, making it a popular choice for custom apparel and home decor projects.
Using infusible ink on your Silhouette Cameo machine is a great way to add unique and long-lasting designs to your projects. Before you start, make sure you have the right supplies: an infusible ink transfer sheet, an EasyPress or an iron, and a heat-resistant mat or towel. You’ll also need to download the Silhouette Design Studio software to create your designs.
To get started, open the design studio and choose your design.
You can use pre-made designs from the Silhouette store or make your own using shapes and text. Once you’ve chosen or made your design, print it onto the transfer sheet using your printer settings set to “mirror image” so that the design will show up in reverse on the fabric when it’s transferred.
Once you have your design printed onto the transfer sheet, place it face down onto your fabric and press firmly with an EasyPress or iron for 30 seconds at 340°F (170°C). Make sure to use a heat-resistant mat or towel under the fabric so that you don’t damage any surfaces underneath! Let it cool for 60 seconds before carefully removing the transfer sheet from the fabric.
Your infusible ink design is now ready to show off!
Using infusible ink with Silhouette Cameo is an easy way to create beautiful, long-lasting designs that will last wash after wash. With just a few supplies and some practice, you can make custom apparel and home decor projects that look professionally done!
Conclusion:
Using infusible ink on your Silhouette Cameo machine is simple but requires some preparation beforehand – such as downloading Design Studio software, having an EasyPress/iron and heat-resistant mat/towel – but once complete produces vibrant designs with superior durability that can be used for custom apparel and home decor projects.
