Use your Silhouette scraper to burnish the transfer tape onto the vinyl. (It may help to gently put the vinyl backing onto the mat to help keep it flat while you're putting the transfer paper on top.) With the sticky side down, lay the transfer tape on the vinyl trying not to get any wrinkles or bubbles. Transfer tape doesn't always have a backing, especially if it's on a roll. If the transfer tape or paper is on a paper/waxy backing, remove the backing. Grab your transfer paper or transfer tape, cutting off a piece that's the same size as the vinyl or slightly larger. Use the built in ratchet on the front of the cutting machine to twist the blade to the correct depth. The ratchet blade must be manually adjusted to the recommended blade depth in Silhouette Studio. Make sure it's completely down into the holder before locking it into place. If you are using the Silhouette Autoblade with a CAMEO 3, it must to be placed into the Red Tool/Left carriage. Place the blade into the carriage and lock it into place. When the mat is loaded correctly, it will be pulled under the rollers evenly with both sides under a roller and will automatically be positioned in the correct start position.
