Beware of counterfeits

The first thing I received was not an original Oracal product. The branding was not printed on the backing paper and was awful to use. Picking up cut vinyl is a terrible task as it hardly sticks. I reordered from VVivid and they sent an Oracal branded product. Let's hope it works as promised!

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

My regular vinyl. Easiest to Use

I love how this clear vinyl keeps decals and designs clean and protected. Thick and strong, not cloudy like some brands. I wish their paper base was thicker. If it bends or curves, it's useless, like a pad on contact paper. It would be nice to have thicker blue paper like white vinyl.

Pros
  • Even the Old Ones Can Understand
Cons
  • Some Little Things

Not sticky enough!

This transfer tape is not sticky enough. It cuts well, applies easily to vinyl, but doesn't have enough tack to separate vinyl from paper. I only use Oracle 651 vinyl so thought this tape would be of the same quality but was very disappointed. We started using this and a number of customers had trouble applying the stickers. We've since tried using it personally and had the same issues.

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • Obsolete

NOT ORACAL!

So I bought the exact same product from the same seller earlier and it was ORACAL brand carbon paper. The last roll I ordered was clearly NOT ORACAL as ORACAL was not printed on the back (see photo). This transfer tape is terrible! Vinyl doesn't stick at all. I spend more time picking up the vinyl than doing anything. I will NOT buy from this seller again as I don't know what product I will be getting. Very disappointed!

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide

So far I'm not as happy with this Oracle product of theirs as with any of the others I've used. I usually use dollar store contact paper and wanted to try something more economical. It's not very tacky and didn't pick up on the 651 vinyl I bought it for. Will keep trying other things as I'm 25ft. What's the worst that can happen? crossed fingers I hope I can change this review but so far I'm sadly disappointed.

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
