Description
Reflective HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl) vinyl is its ability to reflect light when illuminated, making it highly visible in low-light or dark conditions. This vinyl has tiny glass beads or a reflective layer that reflects light back to its source, such as headlights from a vehicle, making it a popular choice for safety-related applications. Reflective HTV is available in a variety of colours and finishes and can be applied to a wide range of garments or fabrics with a heat press or home iron.
Specification:

Heat press setting:
- Preheat the heat press to 305°F (150°C).
- Place your fabric onto the heat press and preheat it for 5-10 seconds to remove any moisture and wrinkles.

Note: Always perform a test cut and test application on a small, inconspicuous area of your fabric before applying your design to your final project to ensure the best results.
