Where is the best place to buy the clear tape. We see alot on here that use it. It sure would be nice when doing multi colors.

well the clear you would use mainly for overlays and it's just more cost effective to buy a roll of 50 yards for $35 i think, i did notice the clear tape comes in 50 yard rolls and paper tape comes in 100 yard rolls  Shocked Shocked

How did it do releasing the vinyl when it was applied? Just curious.

I use R-Tape Clear Choice for all 2,3,4 color graphics and it works quite well. I have not really been able to find anything that can match the quality of R-Tape, but I will certainly give the TransferRite a shot.

I have only had my cutter (PCut 24") for a couple of weeks now.  I knew I would also want to do 2 color decals, so ordered US Cutter brand clear tape in 4" an 12" widths.  I did not get the standard paper type transfer tape, thinking clear would be fine for finished products, and would show the decals better prior to application (white vinyl on white backing with opaque transfer tape...).  However, this clear transfer tape doesn't even seem to want to pull the vinyl off of the backing paper consistently.  I have adjusted blade depth and pressure, and all seems well with the cutting (weeds well, only occasionally cutting into the backing paper).  I am a bit frustrated, and wondering if it is the materials or the inexperienced operator.  I got this as a glorified hobby so I can make window decals, signs etc for our local community theater, friends etc. but I have already got offers for real jobs.  If I can't get this transfer tape thing worked out I will have to do all of the applications myself which kills the "here, I made this for you" kind of thing.

Any words of wisdom?   Huh?
