Choosing & Using Transfer Tape

582U is the general-purpose medium-tack paper option in this group. Choose high-tack 592U when small lettering or difficult pickup requires more adhesive force. Choose clear 1310 when visual alignment and multicolor registration are more important than the handling characteristics of paper tape. ABI literature published at different times lists 582U at approximately 4.2 to 4.3 mil; this listing keeps that range rather than presenting a false level of precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TransferRite 582U best for?

It is a medium-tack all-purpose paper application tape for everyday vinyl graphics and is especially useful for medium-sized graphics.

How does 582U compare with 592U?

582U is medium tack; 592U is high tack. The higher-tack 592U is generally better for smaller lettering and graphics that need stronger pickup.

Can 582U be used wet?

Yes. ABI Tape states that its Ultra paper application tapes are wet-application friendly.

Why do some references list slightly different thicknesses?

Current and older ABI Tape literature rounds the nominal thickness differently, commonly around 4.2 to 4.3 mil. That difference does not indicate a different product in this listing.
