Re: Softest vinyl? I just used spectra cut, spectra cut plus,cut II,spectra eco film, and hotmark 70. I used them all to put a web address on the back of shirts for shirts, I gave away at a party. I still think the hotmark 70 is the softest. I used all my scrap vinyl to cut cost. I think hotmark 70 will be my vinyl of choice.............. JB

Re: Softest vinyl? Either Multicut or Thermoflex Plus would be my choice, actually Multicut is my choice and Thermoflex Plus is my 2nd choice.

Re: Softest vinyl? I need to vote for Thermoflex Plus, but if you want SOFT soft, and you're not layering colors, go with TuffCut from Joto paper (
Transfer Papers and Sublimation Inks at Joto ). It's screenprinting ink that you cut on your vinyl cutter and gives the softest hand possible. It's only drawbacks are that it's backer isn't sticky, and you can't layer colors (tho you can do multi-color designs if the layers don't overlap).
