Choose this kit for a printed image with a holographic overlay, rather than a design cut from solid-color HTV. The source lists four printable sheets plus four overlay sheets, not eight independent printable transfers.

Count matched sets, not loose sheets
The kit contains two different materials that work together: four printable sheets and four holographic overlays. Eight physical sheets therefore do not mean eight complete full-page printable-and-overlay combinations. Plan in matched sets. If a graphic occupies one whole printable page and needs a whole overlay, the starting quantity is four combinations before testing or spoilage. Smaller designs may share a supported page layout, but they still need enough matching overlay. Keep the two stacks labeled as you unpack them. A clear separation between print stock and overlay is more helpful than treating the entire package as one interchangeable pile of transfer paper.
Use a printed image where the effect adds something
This route suits an illustrated motif or multicolor badge with a reflective accent. It differs from red holographic cut iron-on, where the material itself supplies the color and the artwork is cut as shapes. Here an inkjet print supplies the image and the overlay supplies the special effect. Look at a small finished sample before choosing a detailed photograph: the reflective layer becomes part of how the picture is viewed. Consider the final shirt color, the size of pale details, and whether a bold outline would make the image easier to read under changing light.
Allow for the extra preparation step
The supplier describes a sequence involving printing, applying the special-effect layer, cutting, and then applying the design to the blank. Follow the current kit instructions for the exact order and each heating step. A workflow remembered from plain printable iron-on may omit the overlay stage. Confirm your inkjet setup and Cricut Print Then Cut support before committing the stock. Registration marks, printer margins, and the software layout determine usable image dimensions; the letter-size sheet is the outside boundary. Keep one complete print-and-overlay pair available for a trial that includes both a fine edge and a broad colored area.
Compare effects and preserve the combination
The glitter printable kit has the same broad two-part structure but a different finish. Compare the desired appearance rather than calling either one ordinary white transfer stock. A plain light- or dark-fabric pack offers more printable pages when you do not need an overlay effect. For this kit, store each material flat and retain the model number 2012569 with the remaining sheets. When estimating a reorder, count both kinds of stock; one extra overlay cannot replace a used printable sheet. Record the actual sample's image size, base fabric, and manufacturer application directions so later pieces follow the same documented process rather than a mixture of settings from different products.
