If you’ve been paying attention to our social media pages recently, you may have heard some buzz about a sleek new heat transfer vinyl (HTV) by Siser®. This material has been popular with high-fashion brands in Europe for a while but has just recently made its way across the pond to North America. Okay, I won’t beat around the bush any more… I’m talking about Vernice!
But what’s the deal with Vernice exactly? Why do high-fashion brands love it? What type of designs is it good for? Stick around, because I’m about to give you the top 5 reasons to try the new Vernice HTV!
Reason 1: The Ultra-Glossy Finish
You cannot talk about Vernice without mentioning that STUNNING finish! Vernice was designed to have an extremely glossy appearance that seems to mimic a fresh coat of car paint. (Fun fact: “Vernice” actually means “paint” in Italian!)
Available in both Glossy Black and Glossy Red, this HTV catches the light spectacularly with every small movement.
Think of Vernice as the opposite of EasyWeed® Matte. While EasyWeed Matte has a subtle finish for helping your designs blend in, Vernice is the bold material to choose when you want them to stand out!
Reason 2: The Thin & Lightweight Feel
An ultra-glossy finish looks great, but it wouldn’t FEEL good if it was thick and heavy. Fortunately, Vernice offers the same thinness as EasyWeed, meaning your designs won’t drag down your apparel.
Because it’s so thin, you can easily create larger designs without worrying about a heavy, plasticky feel. It also means you can achieve some incredibly fine details, too!
Reason 3: Usable as a Top Layer
Yes, Vernice can be applied on top of other layerable materials! This means you can add a striking glossy accent to designs that use EasyWeed, StripFlock® Pro, Sparkle™, or other layerable materials as a base. Simply tack down your first layer, then place Vernice on top and press for the full 10-15 second duration.
It is important to note that we don’t recommend using Vernice as a bottom later (after all, doing so would block that amazing glossy finish!). However, you can always work around this by using the trusty knock-out method!
Reason 4: Sleek Tone-on-Tone Designs
Now this is one reason you truly have to see in person… Vernice is the perfect material to use for those slick tone-on-tone designs! While a matte or semi-gloss material may blend into the garment a bit too much, Vernice makes sure your art shines… literally!
This effect is best seen when pairing Vernice Glossy Black with a black t-shirt (or other substrate). Just look at how the glossy finish contrasts against the fabric!
Reason 5: The Mesh Effect
And finally, the fifth reason why you should try Vernice: it works with the mesh method! This means that by simply applying a mesh-like material on top of Vernice, you can “imprint” your designs with fine texture that looks incredible with the glossy finish.
