     Never use clear tape for selling,.  use paper medium tack. BUT  you don't "pick up" vinyl.  You squeegee the front of the tape real good , lay tape side down,and peel the backing away from the decal. It makes a big difference. I even send these instructions to my buyers.  You will actually pick up the wax paper backing along with the decal, doing it your way.   And the few items I did with clear,tape, never had a problem,  R-Tape  clear choice   Using  Oracal 651 different colors as well as General Formulations , vinyl...Always peel the backing away. 

    Also a chance that you are cutting too deep and smashing the vinyl into the backing cuts. Check that. 

    Vinyl thickness can vary. The colors could be running thicker so you are not cutting into the backing.

    If you use the serial port I don't believe you need drivers. The computer just sends the HPGL commands to the plotter using standard communication protocols that all computers should support. If you don't have a serial port you should be able to get a converter that works on macs.

    One of these, works with Mac's. The MH cutters us a "Null Modem" cable.
