Does using the cold laminator still have small bubbles in the stickers? I’m using oracal vinyl with 210 laminate

@stephencrozier2194 18 күн бұрын
I find not exposing all of the adhesive at once minimises the chances of dust and dirt getting between the laminate and the sticker
@arachnid83 19 күн бұрын
Do you also do heat lamination? Whats the purpose of doing heat vs cold lamination on stickers? For example, I hear some people use matte heat lamination for vinyl stickers.

Great video man, been trying to understand the sticker making process to make one for my tablet. Watched a bunch of videos, some of them sponsored by companies, but all they talk about is the quality or some unnecessary nonsense. Yours was the most precise and helped me understand the process somewhat decently. Thanks.

Is the double tape on the sides for the banner look good or we can hold or stick direct to window shop ?
@stickershuttle Ай бұрын
For hemming. When I fold it over it makes a thicker border. So when I grommet the corners it’s more sturdy and less chance of ripping in severe weather.

Yes! general formulations! Biggest tip is making sure the blade is a credit card depth once inserted. Print 100 stickers. Then set force to like 10 and go up until it cuts thru with no rough edges.

Margins, cut pressures, syncing with my graphtec and Mimaki, presets, maximizing print space, step and repeat. I do a lot more than stickers so it’s nice to just use it for everything. My presets allow it to be quicker but I do it manually here to show the process a bit more.
