Smile Video Tutorial: Cutting Opaque Transfers with a Vinyl Cutter

Here is a video tutorial on using the Roland GX-24 vinyl cutter's optic eye function for cutting around opaque transfer papers. The design featured, is very simple graphic that will allow you to understand the process. This basic process, should eliminate the need for using scissors to trim around...

That way I can just spray on the "tack" and the sheets will last and last.
(hope I explained this correctly )



UPDATE....
Ok now I am dumb!!!

I just posted twice in the same thread!!!LOL!!!
Don't feel bad my reply is redundant too. Just to be polite to the member who raised that question again. Even though I already described the carrier sheet on my previous post.

Going back to the life of the tacky sheet. You heard it right. Yes it has a very short life 10 uses. It is spelled out in the documentation. Not cheap either. It is $19.95 a pop. So instead of buying another one I lay a magic mask on it to extended the usability.

Thank you for mentioning the brand of the tacky adhesive. Now I know what to use. It is a lot cheaper than the carrier sheet.

If your cutter does not have an optic reader like the GX-24, can you do a manual plot? Or would that be not exact enough.
