just buy the tape you can build your frames with pvc pipe and elbows for about $5.00.

We have the speed press, and I havent used it in years. I like the control I have with the transfer tape.

Pat, the tape I use is R Tape, Conform RLA High tack. WELCOME TO R TAPE CORPORATION: Your 1st Choice Manufacturer of Pressure Sensitive Tapes & Films for Graphics

I use the paper for everything and dont use the clear at all.

The clear is good for multiple layers.

we use paper tape for all our cut vinyl. and only use the clear for the stuff we print on the roland..
I know some shops use clear for regular vinyl too.. but im not fond of it..

Robin · June 22nd, 2008

Susan, why do you use it for the roland stuff?

mystysue · June 22nd, 2008

we use clear but i dont remember what kind without looking at the roll lol..
Ill let ya know tommorow.

Robin · June 22nd, 2008

thanks Sue, but the kind isnt important, Im just curious why you use clear on the roland stuff lol

mystysue · June 22nd, 2008

i found out that if i leave the paper type on for long.. say it gets hot out side.. it dont wanna peal off .. lol.. i ruined some exit door signs i had made to keep on hand.. by having the paper kind on a for a few months lol.

I would suggest you try several differnt types and brands of tape. The R tape paper works good for large signs but it is hard to line up layers for outlined and shadowed work. R tape has what they call clear which isn't actually clear which works ok for layered work but it leaves more residue, they also make a Clear Choice which is clear,but not all suppliers carry it. There are also TransferRite and PolyTape which I find work just fine, the clear versions work great on mirrors with little residue. The secret is finding what works for you for the application you are doing. To find this out you need to try a lot of different kinds and types for yourself.
