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

The transfer tape it just to place the vinyl on the cup then you peel the contact paper off leaving the vinyl properly spaced. With the contact paper your artwork is moved in one piece, spacing is maintained from the cutter, and it give the vinyl some stiffness so it doesn't bend back and stick to itself. Last thing you want is to move letters individually. It would be a pain in the butt getting everything lined back up when you are placing the artwork.

Yeah sounds like the contact paper serves as a transfer mech so the vinyl doesnt bunch up. Just like most car stickers or screen protector transfer.
