A hand held applicator for transferring pressure transferable graphic images from an accepting tape to a receptor surface. The applicator comprises a body having a bottom surface and a back surface intersecting the bottom surface to define a sharp separating edge, and a roller rotatably mounted on the front portion of the body with its axis of rotation in parallel alignment with the separating edge. The outer periphery of the roller projects out from the bottom surface so that as the applicator is pressed against an accepting tape, the roller and separating edge form a narrow band of pressure contact with the accepting tape. The body portion affords manual engagement to press and slide the applicator against an accepting tape having its imaged surface against a receptor surface with the roller leading the separating edge, so that pressure from the roller initiates release of the image material from the accepting tape, while the subsequent pressure from the separating edge, together with the motion of the accepting tape around the separating edge and away from the applicator complete the transfer of the images to the receptor surface.
