Does anyone know where I can get clear transfer or masking tape that can be safely cut with a laser? I need it to mask photographs and I need it clear so I can align the print in the laser.

Thanks!

I think Joe Pelonio will be able to answer this one for you, he works with a lot acrylic and sign making, I'm sure he could give you a good brand name for anything available.

You can get clear transfer tape from your local sign wholesaler. Or order it from Fellers or Grimco.

All but the heavy weight paper transfer tapes are transparent enough for alignment, no need to use the more expensive clear. The clear by Rtape is polypropylene and laser safe. I don't know about the others. all of the paper tapes are laser safe. Whatever you use, get low tac or it can pull apart a paper photo.
