Tell You How to Use Transfer Paper on Vinyl

1.Print out your vinyl. You can do this on your home die-cutting machine, or you can send your design to a professional print shop that offers vinyl stickers. Print out your intended vinyl text or design in your chosen color or colors

2. Clean the receiving surface. Before you get started with the transfer paper, you need to make sure that the surface on which you will be placing your vinyls is clean. Use a microfiber cloth or another soft, residue-free rag to wipe away any dirt and debris. Do not wet the surface, as this could prevent the vinyl from adhering.

3. Remove the background from your vinyl. If your vinyl still has its background intact, carefully peel away the background, leaving only the design or text that you want to transfer. Do this slowly, as you do not want your vinyl design to stick to the background. Some people find using a tool like a seam ripper or orange stick to be helpful in lifting the vinyl background.
Many vinyl print shops will remove the background for you. It is alright if your vinyl does not still have the background intact.

4. Apply the vinyl transfer paper to the vinyl. Peel the backing off the vinyl transfer paper, and press the transfer paper on top of your design. Use a scraper tool to smooth the transfer paper over the vinyl and ensure that it sticks properly.

5. Align the transfer paper on the object. Once you have rubbed down the transfer paper, slowly peel it back, ensuring that the vinyl comes up with it. Then, align it over the surface on which you want to transfer the vinyl design. Gently press the vinyl and transfer paper down with your hand so that it sticks to the receiving surface.
Pressing lightly ensures that the vinyl is not completely stuck down. This way, you can adjust or reposition the vinyl if necessary before final transfer.

6. Use a scraping tool to press the vinyl down. Once you have your vinyl in place, use a scraping tool or your fingernails to run the vinyl onto the receiving surface. Then, slowly peel back the transfer paper, taking caution to make sure the vinyl sticks to the receiving surface. If the vinyl is sticking to the paper, use your scraper or fingers to press it down harder, then continue to peel.
