STAHLS' CAD-CUT Chroma TWILL – Black – Black 700: Textured Heat Transfer Vinyl with Metallic Colour-Shifting Finish

Create distinctive, premium-quality garment decoration with STAHLS' CAD-CUT Chroma TWILL – Black – Black 700. This specialist black heat transfer vinyl combines a deep black base colour with a lightly textured surface and unique metallic sheen, giving logos, names, numbers, lettering and graphic designs considerably more depth than conventional smooth HTV.

Unlike traditional glitter vinyl, Chroma TWILL does not rely on coarse glitter particles. Instead, the surface changes subtly as light and viewing angles vary, creating an elegant colour-shifting effect. The result is sophisticated rather than overpowering, making Chroma TWILL Black 700 suitable for sportswear, fashion garments, club clothing, branded workwear, promotional apparel and premium merchandise.

• Easy to cut and weed: Suitable for professional cutting plotters used for heat transfer vinyl.
• Efficient heat application: Applies at 160 °C for 12 seconds with medium pressure.

Black Heat Transfer Vinyl with a Premium Special Effect

Black is one of the most versatile colours in garment decoration, and Chroma TWILL Black 700 takes the classic black transfer to another level. On white, red, yellow, orange, green, blue and other light-coloured garments, it creates a strong, clean contrast. On black, charcoal, navy and other dark textiles, it can be used for sophisticated tone-on-tone designs where the textured surface and metallic colour shift become the focal point.

This makes Black 700 particularly effective for fashion labels and designers wanting a subtle premium detail rather than a bright metallic or glitter finish. Even simple lettering can appear more distinctive because light interacts with the lightly structured surface as the garment moves.

Ideal for Logos, Names, Numbers and Graphic Designs

STAHLS' CAD-CUT Chroma TWILL Black 700 is an excellent choice for businesses, garment decorators, sports clubs, schools, designers and professional textile printers wanting to offer something different from ordinary black flex film.

Typical applications include:

• Company logos and branding
• Player names and sports numbers
• Club and team logos
• Sponsor logos
• Initials and monograms
• Fashion graphics and decorative lettering
• Slogans and promotional messages
• Event and campaign clothing
• Premium merchandise
• Hoodies, sweatshirts and T-shirts
• Textile bags and suitable accessories

A minimum line thickness of approximately 1.5 mm is recommended for reliable cutting and weeding. Very small lettering and extremely fine details should always be test-cut before starting a full production run.

Easy Cutting and Precise Weeding

Chroma TWILL Black 700 can be processed using standard cutting plotters designed for heat transfer vinyl. Designs should be mirrored before cutting so that they appear correctly after heat application.

The sticky carrier helps individual letters and graphic elements stay in their intended positions during weeding. This is particularly useful for designs containing multiple separate elements or detailed lettering.

Blade pressure, cutting speed and blade depth should always be adjusted for the individual cutting plotter. Carry out a test cut before production, particularly when using a new material or working with small details.

Heat Press Application

For reliable application, position the weeded design on the garment with the carrier facing upwards. Ensure the garment lies completely flat and that seams, zips, buttons or pockets do not interfere with heat press pressure.

• Temperature: 160 °C
• Time: 12 seconds
• Pressure: Medium, approximately level 3–4 on a Hotronix® heat press
• Peel: Cold Peel

Allow the transfer to cool before removing the carrier slowly and evenly. If part of the design has not bonded correctly, replace the carrier, protect the design with a suitable cover sheet and press again briefly.

Suitable for Popular Garment Materials

STAHLS' CAD-CUT Chroma TWILL is suitable for a wide range of textiles, including:

• 100% cotton
• 100% polyester
• Polyester/cotton blends
• Suitable polyester blends

Because garments can differ significantly in weave, coatings, dyes, elasticity and heat resistance, a test application is always recommended before larger production runs, particularly when decorating technical sportswear or heavily dyed polyester.

Not Recommended for Layered Applications

CAD-CUT Chroma TWILL Black 700 is not suitable for multi-layer heat transfer applications. Other heat transfer films should not be pressed directly over the textured Chroma TWILL surface, and Chroma TWILL should not be applied over another layer of HTV.

For multi-colour artwork, arrange the different materials alongside one another without overlapping them. This helps maintain correct adhesion while preserving the distinctive textured and metallic appearance.

Care and Washing

• Wash at a maximum temperature of 40 °C.
• Turn the garment inside out before washing.
• Iron the garment inside out.
• Avoid direct contact between an iron and the transfer.
• Follow the garment manufacturer's washing instructions.
• Avoid aggressive detergents and bleaching products.

Correct washing and care will help preserve both adhesion and the distinctive surface finish of the black textured heat transfer vinyl.
