Thank you for your advice, I found this video very helpful. One thing I do want to mention is I have found that “waterproof” and “water resistant” mean two different things. I think when the company that makes the paper says that their paper is “water resistant” they are saying that I can get wet and be ok, but by it not being “waterproof” they do not recommend it getting wet (especially not on an ongoing basis). If it happens to get wet that is ok, just dry it off. It is like when shoe and apparel manufactures say that something is “water resistant” it is ok to get wet while wearing them, it will not hurt the fabric/material, but you can get wet if enough water is hitting you, because it will seep through the material/fabric. However, if they say their item is “waterproof” then the item may get wet but you will stay dry…and it will not damage the material by simply being exposed to the rain.
Very useful tips. Thank you 🙏
Thank you !!!! Such great information- getting ready to make my first HTV project :)
I don’t see links to products except your Amazon shopping list
Super helpful tips!
I didn’t realize glossy gives a better picture- I just assumed the ink wouldn’t stick as well 😂
Something that could be done (And I will do if Cricut's Calibration is ever successfully able to calibrate my machine) is to print on glossy but then use a Matte Laminate if one really wants the Matte look. Get the image quality of Glossy, But with an additional layer on top that makes things more Matte.
Rachel, which Oracal Oraguard is best for glossy printable vinyl, matte or glossy?
Is the HTV Ront ok to stick to a wall without causing damage when taken off?
Can you make the vinyl wall decals of kids ball pictures like fathead makes?
Any tips on cutting printable vinyl with cricut?
What is the advantage of using sublimation printing rather than traditional inkjet ink when printing on printable vinyl or printable transfer paper?
Have you tried laminating the pages? I will place two pages back to back, laminate them, then trim the edges to release the pages from each other. I’m able to cut them out after that.
Does the Oraguard come in glossy as well?
Great I was struggling and this worked a treat thank you x
Just found your channel and love it!!! ? For you, can you use printable vinyl instead of sticker paper? Will it work the same? Thanks and good luck in your journey, I’m here for it😊
Should work better, making the sticker waterproof
So I print mostly outdoor use stickers and have been using a matte HTV Font paper and Laminating it. Will I have better results with a gloss and laminating?
What Laminate / Sealant do you use to protect against UV? I've been struggling with getting things to last more than 1-2 weeks without fading with any kind of direct UV exposure.
Thought this may be a project. Thank you anyway.
I’ve been using the printable vinyl from htvront for my glass cups and they peel right off :/
Can you use gloss for epoxy tumblers?
You can!
#REPLAY
How do you know which side to use
The adhesive backing has a Printer paper feel. the Glossy side is like Glossy Photo paper. if you print on the glossy side, Then you've printed on the vinyl. if you print on the computer paper side, Then you've printed on the backing (Which can be useful if you have a logo or brandong you'd like products to have post shipping.)
Wouldn’t a laser printer be better?
Not in all situations. I believe Cricut themselves said not to use a Lazer printer, but ai don't recall if that was a blanket statement or just for one type of project. Inkjets do a much better job with Pictures and high detail imagery, But the ink type matters a whole lot for longevity, Dye based vs Pigment based inks and all.
If you do get laser to print on it, seal it. In my experience, they flake off if you accidentally bend the paper
