How to Apply — Step by Step
Place Starling liner-side down. DO NOT reverse your design. Blade 45°/60°, force 5–15, offset 0.250, speed 10. Run a test cut first.
Starling’s improved weeding makes fine scripts and tiny letterforms release cleanly. Use a weeding hook for internal cutouts.
Remove paper liner from application tape, place over weeded design, burnish firmly from center out, then lift — design comes with the tape.
Clean with 70% IPA and a lint-free cloth. Dry completely. Critical on drinkware — oils under the adhesive reduce dishwasher longevity.
Position and burnish firmly. Peel tape at a low angle. Allow 72 hours before first dishwasher cycle or outdoor exposure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions — EasyPSV Starling Black Cat
What makes Siser EasyPSV Starling different from EasyPSV Permanent?
EasyPSV Starling is the upgraded successor to EasyPSV Permanent, co-developed by Siser and Avery Dennison. Starling is dishwasher safe up to 80 washes on the top rack — the original was not. Weeding performance is significantly improved for fine scripts and tiny details. Most colors are now matte. The branded Siser/Avery Dennison liner confirms genuine Starling film.
Is EasyPSV Starling dishwasher safe?
Yes — up to 80 washes on the top rack with heat dry, validated by Avery Dennison on glass, porcelain, and stainless steel. A 72-hour dwell time after application is required before the first dishwasher cycle. Skipping the cure period significantly reduces long-term adhesion.
What surfaces does EasyPSV Starling adhere to?
Glass, porcelain, stainless steel, ceramic, metal, plastic, painted wood, and acrylic. NOT recommended for painted drywall or latex walls, near flame or direct heat, microwave, or the bottom dishwasher rack.
What cutter settings should I use for Starling?
45° or 60° blade, force 5–15, offset 0.250, speed 10. Always run a test cut on a corner first — optimal settings vary by cutter model and blade condition.
Is EasyPSV Starling safe for children’s products?
No — EasyPSV Starling is NOT CPSIA certified. Do not use on children’s products, toys, or any item requiring CPSIA safety certification.
Can Starling be used for outdoor and boat graphics?
Yes — rated 3–6 years outdoor durability with saltwater resistance. Suitable for porch signs, vehicle decals, boat name graphics, and marine applications where salt air and spray are part of the environment.
Does matte black have less visible fingerprint marks than glossy black on tumblers?
Yes — matte surfaces scatter light rather than reflecting it, which means fingerprints and smudge marks are significantly less visible on matte black than on gloss black. For premium drinkware personalization where the customer handles the tumbler daily, Black Cat’s matte finish is a meaningful practical advantage in addition to its premium aesthetic quality.
