Pros

  • Significantly easier to use compared to strong grip transfer tape.
  • No sticky residue left on the vinyl when removed.
  • Simplifies the process of transferring vinyl designs.
  • A great option for beginners unfamiliar with different types of transfer tape.
  • Effective for its intended application with glitter and shimmer vinyl transfers.

Cons

  • Inconsistent adhesion properties of both the transfer tape and the vinyl.
  • Regular transfer tape does not adhere well to smaller letters.
  • May leave paint residue on walls if used improperly on decals.
  • Caution is advised on painted surfaces as it may remove paint.
  • Frustration reported over poor performance relative to the cost of materials.

Bottom Line

The Cricut Joy Transfer Tape is a solid choice for transferring glitter and shimmer vinyl designs, making it easy for beginners to use without leaving sticky residue. However, its inconsistent adhesion and potential to damage painted surfaces make it less versatile than other products for different vinyl types. If you're working with smaller details, you might need to consider other options, like the StrongGrip Transfer Tape, for more demanding projects.
