Hey guys, Dave here with Transfer Express, and today i'm very excited to show you the brand new
easy view online designer! now, some things have changed locations, at least the tools
and the configurators that you're used to, but, what I want to do in this video is dive into
those major differences and the awesome upgrades that we've put in to this super powerful online
designer. so, if you're ready join me right here on the computer and we will get started!
if you are new to transfer express we are the world's largest supplier of screen printed and
digital heat transfers, heat presses, custom designs, blank apparel and advice to help grow
your t-shirt business. if you haven't already subscribe to our youtube channel right here
we are kicking out new videos like this one every single week! now, for 2022 we are releasing a
brand new version of our easy view online designer the goal is to make things much easier to use the
uh applied effects and patterns are a little bit more highlighted now all of the functionality
with clip art and layouts are still in there and you can still upload your own artwork
but there are just a few differences that i want to dive into so that you could get rolling as soon
as this new designer launches so here we are at transferexpress.com and we've clicked over to the
easy view online designer now like i mentioned some items have moved locations and they are
easier to find now we could start right here at the top of the screen of course the save option is
one of the biggest movers coming from the bottom left corner and moving up to the top here now you
also have your new session you could open recent projects and a very similar functionality that was
in the old designer now you'll notice here on the top side as well there are three buttons and three
steps that will roll through now over here on the settings menu this has remained very similar to
how it was you have new design you could open your existing jobs or old previous jobs you could add
art from your own library here would be your save job as and of course artboard you could select the
portrait or landscape in the settings menu as well you could see invisible objects and you could even
open the gridline so you have a nice grid here on the artboard that you could lay your artwork to
as well of course you always have the align tools right here at the top toolbar and all
of the controls here remain unchanged so you have all of your object commands you have your align so
this is aligning to the artboard itself a range so if you're familiar with photoshop or illustrated
you have different layers arranging is going to move things forward or put them to the back
the artboard controls that we kind of just showed in the settings are available up there as well
and of course zoom you can zoom in zoom out zoom to selected objects or zoom to just the artboard
size so here when you're just getting started you could take a quick guided tour if you would like
that shows you a little bit of the features here in easy view online designer you could open your
save job resume your last session browse clipart browse layouts or of course add your own artwork
right here then we could also add our clipart or layout everything how we used to do it now
that we have our artwork laid out on our artboard you'll see the edit menu flies out with a lot of
the same controls that were available in that left-hand sidebar on the existing easy view of
course changing your ink color changing the sizing of your graphic so here if we select everything we
see it's at 10.92 inches we could easily adjust that to 5 or whatever sizing that you need
of course if you wanted to skew this graphic or not resize proportionately you could grab all
of the transform controls here on the artboard just by unchecking the resize proportionately
now right here you'll see all of our effects and options at the bottom of this edit menu
the pattern fill outline distressing and applied effects so if you wanted to add distressing onto
this choose any of these patterns and they load in over the artwork or you could easily clear them
now the text control functions exactly how the old text control did you have all of your options on
this side you could change the text up here hello or you can double click into this and change it as
well hi we'll keep going down here of course the entire clip art library is all preloaded in here
and we are adding new artwork every single week into easy view online designer of course if you
wanted to upload your own files you could upload them right here now one of the largest changes
before we get any further in here is that all of the right hand side transfer configurator
has moved to the bottom of the screen so here you have your print method you can select screen print
or full color screen print will be all of our goof proof elasto prints hot split retro our glitter
pearl prints puff reflective you get the gist of all of our screen printed transfer types here
now if you were to select full color this is where you could select our ultra color
soft the ultra color max stretch any of our cad prints the express print soft opaque sub block
or the window decals and the all-purpose stickers they're available under that full color option
so we can select ultra color max and you'll see that our sheet size goes away as the product is
available be ordered in any size from a quarter inch up to 22 by 22 inches now all of the warnings
down here will tell you uh if something's wrong with your project so with ultra color max selected
if we say we went to 24 inches it's going to warn us that our quantity is not right but then it's
also going to warn us that it exceeds the maximum dimensions for the product type that we have
selected now you'll notice that the apparel color selector right here has moved down to the bottom
left-hand side of your artboard here so you could change the apparel color if you would like to
to any color that's listed here now here with our quantity selected you see accurate pricing show up
right here it'll tell you what your price is per sheet and what the ship date is let's bump this up
to 18 to get a nice quantity break here and you'll see we dropped down to 387 per image and it's
shipping on the 14th as we're making this a little bit early before this video releases
once you're all set with your project you could go to the next option you could select to have your
transfers cut apart off of the sheet here at the top so here you could add your color change and
add a color change just like how you would uh have done in the old designer just by changing
your quantity here now of course you'll see the fabric compatibility type here is a little bit
expanded it's going to give you a check mark if it's compatible or not compatible right off the
bat in this option step so say if we selected our goof proof printing on sublimated apparel
it's going to say do not use if it's containing lycra spandex or nylon we're going to recommend
a different transfer type now here on the blank apparel you could shop your blank apparel as well
or if you needed to add any order notes you could add order notes right here once we're all set then
we can move through to the review step review all of the product details your print method
your product type the size quantity fabric type colors any color changes if you've selected them
and if you want these to cut apart one more time we're going to tell you the ship date
all of the transfer cost and your total price before we go if you wanted to order a proof
this is kind of an auto proof setup but if you requested any changes you of course could add a
proof to your order which is going to change it to twenty dollars where we'll process the proof
and have it all approved before we turn it into an order for you in the old designer you were able to
still mock up on the apparel catalog but we'll go back to our design screen and click the mock-up
button at the bottom of our tools here on the left hand side now you still can use the apparel
like you were able to in the old easy view online designer where you could pull from any colorways
from our entire apparel catalog or search specific styles now this is cool because you could still
kind of align this on here if the model is slightly crooked and get yourself an awesome
looking layout that then you could download and save to your computer and one of my favorite new
features in our easyview online designer is having the option to upload your own mockups now this
is great for online stores or if you haven't your own custom mock-up that you send to your customers
for your custom decorating business it's right here you just load it in and we can easily move
and place our artwork right here then you could download this to send to your customers
or to upload directly to your online store now with our new layout here say we wanted to change
this basketball over to a football you could easily do that by using the replace clip art
command right here in this edit menu we'll click on that and we'll say replace it with clipart
now here we'll just type in football because that's what we want to change it to
and you can see there's tons of football clip art and designs that are in here for you to use
we'll use this one because it kind of looks cool and nice and stylized pull it right on in here
of course you could still double click and change any of this text
that you want you can change it up here as well however you want to do it it's there and if you
wanted to change your font again super easy to do so we'll undo it and keep this nice emperor
font on here as well we'll change this to field just because you don't play football on a court
and that's it now of course you could also add tons of different artwork now i'm just going
to use a simple copy and paste command keyboard shortcut or you could go to object and duplicate
and that's going to duplicate the object as well that you have selected if you want to do that we
could grab different elements of this layout and just copy and paste them there we'll rotate them
resize them anything you need to do to fill out that sheet and maximize your printing area one
of my favorite options here that we added into the easyview online designer is the ability to
save into multiple different folders if you're working with different clients and want to save
all the designs it's an easy to reference format or even if you're running your own
brand and you want to save your seasonal styles or collections you absolutely could do that here so
we'll click onto the save command we can enter the job and we'll just say this is for falcons
and then you could select your folder so you could create folders and save them here
or if you wanted to create a new folder all you have to do is say open and create a new
custom folder right here so we'll say this is for the falcons and we'll add that folder
now when you go to save you'll see that option listed we'll name this file and we'll pull up that
falcons folder and you're able to save that job into that folder so when you go to open you could
click falcons and there it is right there ready to pull back in and edit or reorder as needed now
of course we just hit next here our review step we see all of our options our transfer ship date
our transfer cost and the cost per sheet all set right there what you see is what you'll pay
and you can go ahead and add it to your cart and that's it we are all done that's the major changes
that we've rolled out in our brand new easy view online designer if you have any questions you
could always leave them in the comments section below or you can email us info transferexpress.com

to dive more in depth into each one of these features i just wanted to show you the major
changes so you could hit the ground running when this new designer is out and you have to use it
