What is Transfer Tape?

Transfer Tape is a special adhesive film used to transfer designs that have been cut from a film using a plotter to surfaces. It is especially useful for precisely applying intricate and complex designs without distortion.

The transfer tape helps place the cut film designs securely and in the correct position. Once the design is transferred to the transfer tape, it can be applied to the desired material with minimal effort.

How to Use Transfer Tape Correctly

Using transfer tape is simple and quick – here’s a brief overview of how to use it properly:

1. Cut the Design

Cut your design from the film using the plotter and ensure that all details are completely cut and no corners are left attached to excess plotter film that is not part of the design.

2. Apply Transfer Tape

Roll the transfer tape over your design and press it down evenly using a Squeegee. Make sure the tape adheres well and that the design stays in the desired position.

3. Transfer to the Material

Flip the design with the transfer tape and peel off the backing paper at a sharp angle. Position the transfer tape with the design onto the target material and press it down firmly with a rakel to transfer the design without distortion. Peel the tape off carefully at a sharp angle.

4. Post-processing

If necessary, you can press the design down again with the squeegee or smooth the edges of the transferred design to achieve a perfect result. Air bubbles can be pierced with a bubble remover (weeding pen), allowing the air to be pressed out with a squeegee.
