How To Use Printable Vinyl

[@willieroseman1432]

Oh hello Rachel, did not know you were here. I have missed you and Becca soooo much!! So glad I found you!!!

[@OakAndLamb]

Willie! Thank you so much for being here. We're so glad you found us my dear :)

[@soniar3051]

I'm so happy that you gave beginners the tip to use a basic shape. I do this all the time. It helps with placement and giving you a basic idea what your project is going to look like. I also like to give the basic shape the color that my project background is going to be so I can see if the color combinations go well with the design. Good luck to you and Rachel! It's nice seeing you ladies again doing tutorials.

[@ssharp11]

Excellent start to finish tutorial. Thank you. Wishing you Rachel, Becca, Anna and the entire Oak and Lamb team a super week. Hugs Susan

[@OakAndLamb]

Thank you for watching and commenting as always, sweet Susan

Missed you Rache, wish you much success.

[@OakAndLamb]

We're so glad you're here! Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@thedaintydoer]

Hi Oak & Lamb. So so happy that I came across your channel. Sure have missed you both. You have such a wonderful chemistry, like Lucy and Ethel. "Just showed my age lol".

[@OakAndLamb]

We've missed you too! Thank you so much for your kind words, we're so glad you're here!

I would like to know what the difference is between the spray you put in the sticker and the clear laminate paper before putting the sticker on the car bumper.

[@NicoleEivissa]

Hi, I’ve heard it’s not recommended to use printable vinyl for laser printers - is this true? I really wanna create stuff from holographic vinyl that I also wanna print on but I have a laser printer. I was told by a printing company employee that vinyl is heat sensitive and can destroy the laser printer. Thanks for any tips on this!

[@melissalanoue9022]

i have a desk jet printer will the print and cut work on that, and how can i put a picture of my sisters dog on a t shirt with print and cut

[@OakAndLamb]

Do you mean Inkjet printer :) If so, that will work yes! Here's how to use printable HTV for a shirt: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fneuin6Mftyiors

[@adamdouglashavens8681]

What kind of ink are you using? Is it just the regular ink for the printer or a special pigment ink? Thanks

[@Imag1na710n]

Do you think this is suitable to use on a ceramic tile? I'm about to order some but I thought I'd check. It's for use as a coaster.

[@OakAndLamb]

The condensation from the drinks on the coaster will make the sticker peel sooner, but these are water resistant and will work for a while :)

[@toniadunlap2021]

So glad I ran across this video! Wishing you all well ❤ Quick question…Can printable vinyl be used with a laser printer?

[@ingridhernandez5625]

Wow thank you so much for the video❤

[@jamiesvanity9532]

is this regular ink or special ink?

[@debbierachal8533]

Can you sublimate with printable glossy vinyl on glossy subway ceramic tile

[@BklynGirl72]

I enjoy your videos. Have you ever try the Online sticker paper brand?

[@OakAndLamb]

We have not! We will look into it :)

[@melissagampel9738]

Hi I did the print and cut and have the same printable vinyl you are using. My explorer cut the hair on the messy bun image and it wa all cut up. I am not sure what I did wrong.

[@normscarvideoproductions3946]

Hi, My BRAND new ET 2850 Printer wont print out on Vinyl correctly. Its very smeary at streaks. Put if I print on a regular piece of paper it looks prefect. What am I doing wrong?

[@SchnuffiJames]

What is the best way to water proof a sticker?

[@angelamoe9559]

Can I use non printable vinyl to print and cut

[@conniesobczak2177]

The other sticker that had a smudge on it, can u flip the paper and send it through the maker and cut that on out,ty

[@OakAndLamb]

Yes you sure can! :)

[@conniesobczak2177]

@@OakAndLamb thanks that what I thought

[@lorivasquez9099]

Do you have a work around for when the cricut maker can't sense the glossy paper?

[@OakAndLamb]

Yes! Here's a helpful video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eV7bd4yYfbaCpa8 . You can skip to time 31:40 for the answer to your question, but the whole video is helpful :)

[@shawntelmonroe3338]

I was having this issue. I put a piece of matte tape on the light sensor. Worked great!

[@flacah3548]

Do we need to laminate these?

[@robertmcknight8357]

Can this product be attached to a water bottle?

[@mommycares2107]

Just a question, what size is the offset. My print then cut just won't work and i cant get it to calibrate. So I want to try using the offset to see if that would make a difference.

[@OakAndLamb]

If your machine isn't calibrated the offset will always look off center no matter how large or small it is. We're sorry you're having issues calibrating your machine! Here's our calibration video incase you haven't seen it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/manYXmSnYpiffqM . I hope it helps!

[@mommycares2107]

Also can this printable vinyl be used for car decals? Would it hold up in the elements? Would one have to seal it before using?

[@OakAndLamb]

It can be used on cars, yes! No need to seal, it doesn't make a difference. It will fade over several months from the sun/weather but that's just a part of it :)

[@rebeckaarcher9472]

can you use ecosolvent ink on this for car decals

[@Cheri2614]

Hi Rachel and Becca!

[@OakAndLamb]

Hello sweet Cheri!

[@gaylrobinson6793]

Can I print and cut from inkscape to cricut? Tia

[@OakAndLamb]

You would have to bring the file into Design Space, you cannot have your image on one software and print it on another without transferring your design :)

[@marthaplancarte9265]

What kind of printer do I need?

[@conniedugger3377]

Can this be applied to a cup or mug

[@OakAndLamb]

It sure can! Make sure to hand wash :)

[@StacysRitzyDPCrafts]

Do you know if there's a way to print on release paper? Or what type of release paper I can use to print directly on?

[@RainorShine1]

What is release paper?

[@zoneljoseph5588]

What’s the name of the sheet

[@conniel.4601]

Do you have an Amazon link?

[@OakAndLamb]

We do! Thanks for asking! Zicoto Printable Vinyl: amzn.to/3JsB5zs

[@Dawndenton123]

Can you tell me why the black color never dries when I use this paper? I think it was the sticker paper not vinyl but same brand.

[@OakAndLamb]

If you haven’t already, try changing the material setting on your printer to glossy paper. :)

[@patriciaedison7726]

I have this printable vinyl and I'm having a hard time getting my Explorer Air 2 to cut it I keep getting an error. Any tips?

[@OakAndLamb]

Is the error that it can’t read the registration marks? If so, try changing the lighting in the room. It could either not be getting enough light or maybe even TOO much light. Try using an eraser to dull the shine/gloss of the registration marks or place a matte tape over the registration marks. I’d those things don’t work, trying cleaning the sensor on your machine that reads the registration marks.

[@jenselle2933]

I am having an issue with my EA2 reading the registration marks too. I have tried going over the lines with black sharpie, no extra light, lots of extra light, matte tape. For whatever reason it just does not like the glossy 😢

[@joyscranfield5527]

LOL...gotta make sure I load my printable vinyl correctly; my printer is rear loading.

[@OakAndLamb]

It's tricky at first!

[@sukijones6956]

Has anyone printed using a laser printer??

[@mattletter6258]

Way too many commercial messages for other videos.

[@yaggieminka5657]

Can this be used on mugs?
