I don't understand the role of the contact paper.


You put the contact paper over your artwork and use the contact paper to peel the vinyl off of the backing. That way all the little jiblets that make up your artwork stick to the contact paper and stay in the correct relative position. It's a poor mans transfer tape. You stick this whole thing where you want the artwork to go, and since the vinyl has more sticking power than the contact paper when you pull the contact paper away the vinyl will stay in place.

Yeah, I understand your deal, if we wanted the letters shiny, I don't understand needing the contact paper unless it is just to keep things in the proper form
