Printable Sticker paper and Printable Vinyl what is the difference which is better print then cut

[@AimlesslyCollecting]

I very rarely subscribe to anyone, nonetheless comment, but I want to say THANK YOU! Thank you for teaching me things within design space that I did not know and needed to know! I clicked on this video just to figure out if I needed to seal P/C printable vinyl. I ended up learning some very important basics that I have not been doing lol. You are AMAZING for explaining each step you took. I look forward to more content from you and PLEASE, keep doing exactly what you did here, on all your tutorials! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ♥️

[@StarsHallow]

I have white and clear sticker paper so now I’m going to have to test between white sticker paper and white printable vinyl. Has anyone already tested between the 2 yet? Love this video so much! I’m glad it’s not just me who gets errors even when I know I’ve made the offset but it doesn’t change on the screen. Please continue to leave all your experiences in the videos because it really helps to know it’s not just us having them and it may be the sticker design or a blip in the software. You’re awesome at covering all the aspects of every project you do in your videos.

@@donnaleiber6214 I have used both white sticker paper and white vinyl sticker paper. I also use a laminate to them to give them extra protection. I find the white sticker paper is thinner and cuts better for me (I have a Scan N Cut). I think this is because the vinyl is thicker and is even thicker with the added laminate. I just end up trimming any loose paper with my scissors.

I don't like having to rely on software that runs from the cloud like the cricut. Cricut appears top be more accurate with their settings for cutting materials than the cameo but once you get the cameo it's easy. The Cameo is louder and feels much cheaper in quality than the cricut . I paid for the business edition of the software, (don't pay full retail, you can fid legal legit keys for the software by looking around on the net) This software allows me to import or export designs easily if I decide to ever sell svg's (doubtful as it's just a hobby) I mostly just cut car glass vinyl, some stickers , some glass and electro metal etching and either machine is great to make stencils.

Can you use the printable vinyl sticker on t-shirts?

[@CorinneBlackstone]

No. You need printable htv

Thank you.

Hey Corrine! Was curious, when your printing on these sticker papers did you have any problems with ink smudging? I just bought a vinyl sticker paper and had let the ink dry for a whole day and I touched it gently and the ink just slid right off!

[@CorinneBlackstone]

No I never have issues

[@torigladstone2446]

@@CorinneBlackstone Thank you! I want to try a few other vinyl's so Ill definitely check out the one you listed 😃

Thanks for the tutorial!!! I am in luuuuv with Mickey ears....can you share where you got them??

[@CorinneBlackstone]

The stickers I made are from the auntietay.com Membership

I’ve tried every tip you gave in this video and my ink still rubs off my sticker paper! What am I doing wrong?

[@CorinneBlackstone]

sounds like your printer is putting too much ink on the sticker it self. you can try changing your printer and paper setting to help.

[@sandramurphy6802]

Love you video. What blade did you use and do you have a link for the printer you used as I need to get a new printer.

[@CorinneBlackstone]

Just a fine point blade that comes with the machine and I use an epson et 2720

[@CorinneBlackstone]
