I had a recommendation to buy shelf paper from dollar tree to use as transfer paper, but dollar tree doesn’t stock clear at the moment. I bought some “removable” clear shelf paper from walmart as a test and it’s not sticky enough to lift the vinyl off the wax backing.
I’ve looked on amazon and it seems the quality transfer paper is more expensive than the vinyl itself. I suspect it’s small lots + shipping in play here.
Since the makerspace can afford to buy that tape in bulk, can we agree on a price for just the transfer paper and I’ll just buy it from the space? I want to cut vinyl in colors not stocked by the space and can’t seem to pay for just the transfer paper on the kiosk. Is $1 per foot worth it to DMS?
most of the vinyl I buy is 12" just because that is common, but honestly 10" would work for most of the things I’ve done. I guess it would depend on the project.
I’ll drop off that roll next time I’m at DMS, probably late tonight or tomorrow morning.
And yeah, if you don’t mind a small overlap in your transfer tape any size roll will do, assuming you’re applying it yourself and remember which side to pull from
