Glossy Printable Vinyl Sticker Paper

I'm going to write the review I wish I'd had when buying this paper -- because then I wouldn't have had to buy and test every one of them! For reference: I'm using a Canon ix6820 and a Silhouette Cameo 4 (similar to a Cricut). I bought every type of printable sticker paper that this company has, and tested them all. I made kiss cut settings (like a sticker sheet). Here are my results. (Please note that I only tested the Matte for waterproof quality.) TRANSLUCENT Yes, it's a little squeaky, but it's beautiful. I definitely prefer this over the Clear paper. It's my choice for see-through sticker paper from this brand. I did notice that when you peel the sticker off, it doesn't look too great -- until it's placed on paper again. Then it's beautiful! GLOSSY My personal favorite. It printed beautifully, and has a finish that I love. Only complaints are these: the more intricate stickers can be a bit delicate, and also my Cameo's blade does get a little stuck if I set too many passes for the machine. But I think that's just the nature of glossy paper. (Bonus: I tested a few pens on labels made from this paper, and it didn't smear or scratch the sticker. What a win!) MATTE Not terrible, but not my favorite. Maybe I'm doing something wrong on my end, but sending this paper through my Cameo was somewhat frustrating. The cuts weren't very accurate, and when I peeled off the stickers, they tore more than once. The color is very vibrant, and when I ran some stickers under some water they didn't bleed at all. Unfortunately, they're just not sturdy enough for my taste. CLEAR Last one! And sadly the one I like the least. I thought this sticker paper would be my favorite -- it feels nice and smooth to the touch, and isn't squeaky at all. Unfortunately, the ink smears a lot. I let this one dry for 15+ minutes before I picked it up (which I don't usually do, I was just busy) but after the Cameo was done cutting, and I transferred them to the paper that you see above, I had ink on my fingers. If you look closely at the second picture, you can see they have an odd textured look -- that's actually my fingerprints. Overall, I don't hate any of these. They all feel like good quality sticker paper (and I actually prefer them to the pricier OL brand). TL;DR: My personal favorites are Glossy and Translucent. SILHOUETTE SETTINGS On the off-chance another Silhouette user has made it this far into this novel of a review, I'm going to include my cut settings for the Glossy and Translucent papers! GLOSSY (kiss cut): Force 8, Speed 4, Passes 1, Acceleration 1, Blade Depth 3 GLOSSY (full cut): Force 28, Speed 5, Passes 2, Acceleration 1, Blade Depth 3 TRANSLUCENT (kiss cut): Force 18, Speed 4, Passes 1, Acceleration 1, Blade Depth 3 TRANSLUCENT (full cut): Force 28, Speed 5, Passes 2, Acceleration 1, Blade Depth 3

Works great is my printer and the labels I make look professional once printed and cut.

It's decent vinyl. Thick, but not too thick. Doesn't tear. Colors really pop. I see a lot of people having problems with ink smearing or not drying. If you have an HP or Canon printer, this will probably happen. This vinyl works best with Epson printers. I print on my Epson ET15000 with Glossy Photo setting at max quality, and it comes out great. Not wet at all. Dry to the touch immediately. There's only two small gripes I have about it... It kinda has a very faint bumpy sheen to it. You can't feel it, but when you get it in the right light you'll see it. I'm still on the search for the perfectly smooth vinyl. The other complaint is when you contour cut it with a vinyl cutter, it leaves a dusty residue. I'm not certain, but I suspect it's the coating on the vinyl being pulverized into a dust by the cutting blade. I just use a soft brush and pass it over my prints, but it would be cool if that didn't happen.

Great great product love the quality and the results after printing

Everything about these labels is good enough, just not fantastic. They take the ink well and the print quality is good. They take a little longer to dry than others and there is a small amount of ink bleed. Not enough that the average person would notice, but I can see it. The adhesive is good enough for all but the most damp or wear worn applications. At this price and for my needs, I was not looking for anything but a "serviceable" label. They fit the bill just fine without breaking the bank.

I was paying ridiculous prices for Vinyl decals and decided to create my own. I bought this product to test it out. I couldn't be happier!! Using their high gloss sheets and a standard inkjet printer, I printed out several different colored decals I designed on one sheet. Instantly dry to the touch and super vibrant colors. I was shocked. Prepped my surface, cut, peeled & stuck them on. Great adhesion and they look better than the Decals I was buying. Top notch 😁 I totally recommend this product.

Testing this glossy sticker paper has been a journey! I at first printed a sheet on our HP Officejet Pro 8610 printer, and although the colors adhered to the paper better, the black ink borders smeared - even after drying for 2 days (in other words, the black ink never adhered well). However, I never had that problem with printing photos on glossy photo paper from that printer. After doing a BUNCH of research, intuition told me that the problem was likely the ink, not the glossy sticker paper. So, I then bought an Epson ET-2850 .... and the problem was solved! The ink dried on this paper almost instantly! Yay! (You can tell how committed I was to being able to make glossy labels!) So while this was an expensive test, I'm now set to print and cut on glossy sticker paper - and probably anything else. This paper worked GREAT after that. I did learn that the cut settings on my Cricut Explorer 2 need to be fiddled with a bit - the glossy sticker setting I selected cut a bit too deep. But that is easily corrected. I also learned that to cut out stickers printed on glossy sticker paper with a smart cutting machine, you will likely need to apply regular scotch tape over the registration marks so the machine can see them, otherwise your cuts will likely make your labels or stickers unusable. How much light in the room didn't matter, in my case (it apparently does for some).

I make clean herbal based products for a living, I make my own labels also with my hp3772 printer. This paper brand works the best that I’ve found. I’ve tried so many others, one brands paper (can’t remember their name, but I left a review it was so bad) would bend a bit after taking it out of the pack and cause my printer to not be able to grip it and it eventually broke it at thee worst possible timing, if your having any trouble with any other brand this is a MUST TRY!! They honestly have a great deal too but the quality itself is amazing. Also when I make my labels, I do make sure to print them long enough to touch when they go around. This ensures they won’t lift at all. Also I use an acrylic gloss seal spray to make sure they stay truly water proof. Buy this brand!! Best vinyl printing paper I’ve found yet!
