What brand is your vinyl? Removable is Oracal 631, Permanent is Oracal 651 and 751 and Iron-on is Poli-Tape, SEF and Siser.
Can you cut your vinyl on my home cutting machine? Yes, our vinyl works with all major brands of home cutters.
Do your sheets of vinyl have adhesive already on them? Yes, our vinyl sheets are self adhesive on a liner like a big sticker.
What is transfer tape? Tape is used to remove your entire graphic from the backing paper to your surface in one piece. Cut your design, weed it (take out excess vinyl not needed for design) then apply a sheet of tape large enough to cover the design with a squeegee, then remove the tape and vinyl together at one time, apply to new surface and squeegee down again, then remove tape and throw away. You will be left with the graphic only.
Is vinyl dishwasher safe? We suggest 751 vinyl for items that will be used in the dishwasher. Although 751 vinyl is usually ok, we always suggest hand washing your item. Dishwashers have different temperatures, we cannot guarantee the vinyl will not fall off with the heat.
Can you use a home iron with your heat transfer? Yes, it works well. It is designed to be used with a heat press, but if you apply correctly a home iron works very well.
