Default Newbie question: Reflect Plus vinyl

Hi Everyone! I'm new posting here, but have been lurking for quite a while and learning a LOT.

I have Spectra Reflect Plus and have a silly question about it.

This material has 3 sections:

-clear layer (this is on the side you lay face up on the plotter or face down on the substrate),
-the vinyl itself,
-then the thicker clear mylar that you obviously peel after pressing.

My question is: do you remove the other clear layer of film that is faced up (when in a plotter)? My other materials are only 2 layers (vinyl and mylar), but this has the third and I'm confused!

Thanks in advance!!

Yes, you should remove the thin clear film prior to cutting. This is a protective layer only.
