New Baltimore, MI — Siser North America continues its late-night educational initiative, Siser After Dark, with two new virtual classes designed to help decorators navigate evolving heat-print workflows and equipment decisions.
The first session, Siser After Dark Artwork Setup: Combining HTV + DTF, takes place Monday, February 9 at 7 p.m. ET. Lead educator Patrick Ali will demonstrate how creators can use Leonardo® Design Studio to adjust digital artwork for projects that incorporate both heat-transfer vinyl (HTV) and direct-to-film (DTF) transfers.
Later in the month, on Monday, February 23 at 7 p.m. ET, Ali will be joined by Jared Barbosa of Heat Press Nation for Siser After Dark: Do I Really Need a Heat Press? The session is aimed at decorators considering an upgrade from handheld presses and explores the performance advantages of full-size heat presses in achieving consistent application results across HTV, DTF, and other heat-applied materials.

“For February’s classes, we set out to answer some of the biggest questions currently trending in the industry,” said Patrick Ali. “More decorators than ever are wondering how they can set up their artwork for both HTV and DTF, and we want to show them how easy it can be in software such as Leonardo. We’ve also heard concerns from newer decorators who run into application issues when working with HTV, DTF, or other mediums. Because these problems are often caused by the equipment, not the decorator, we want to highlight the importance of investing in a quality heat press.”
Free Access and Replay Options
Both Siser After Dark sessions are free to attend virtually with advance registration. Replays will be available on the Siser North America YouTube channel approximately 24 hours after each class concludes.
