Buttercrafts Printable Vinyl - Sticker Paper - Printable Sticker Paper for Inkjet Printer - Waterproof Sticker Paper for Cricut (Matte Sticker Paper White, 20 Sheets, 8.5 "x11 ")

Let me preface this review by saying1-I'm not using any special printer or ink- printing on an HP inkjet printer and whatever standard HP ink goes into the machine.2-No special images (just random online free printables).3-I've only had this product for two full days.Printer load/feed: So far, the ease of the paper feeding through my printer is great. I've only printed three sheets , but nothing has jammed. My one concern was the vinyl was curved inwards towards the paper backing side, but this didn't cause a feed probem, it just concerned me when loading the paper.Color saturation: The ink distribution seems smooth (although I did find that printing " best quality" really did make a difference in the image clarity).Water resistance: I waited a few hours from printing to see how water resistant the images were, and to my surprise, it was fairly water proof. I made a mistake trying a water test 5 minutes after printing on one corner, but drying time is needed.I tried smudging water, letting water sit for 10- 30 mins and then rub the moisture off... The ink didn't budge and the vinyl held tough. I haven't tried any chemicals against the paper or image except a bit of diluted rubbing alcohol. That solution did cause a bit of color removal, but not enough for me to be concerned.Cutting: I can't say too much, it is basically like cutting paper. I bought this to make stickers for myself. I don't have a special die cutting/ craft machine like a Silhouette or Cricut, so kiss-cuts were done by hand with a small exact-o - a Daiso retractible craft knife. A sharp blade and steady, but light hand and I needed 1-2 passes to cut though the vinyl and not the paper. It's a delicate balance.Adhesive Strength: this is something I can't gauge. The vinyl peels away from the paper backing well. The adhesive is not overly tacky. Seems to be semi repositionable if i stick it to paper (which I like, I don't want a permanent hold), but it has torn some paper away if it was adhered for more than two minutes.Overall: I give this product a five, but this is from a novice vinyl paper user. Perhaps my review will change, but right now I am pleased with the product.*edit: I've had this product quite a while. haven't used the entire package yet as I just printed a few things and put the rest away.Images are not permanent (which I did expect with wear and use). If you are looking for image permanence, I would suggest some type of clear adhesive sheeting over top of your print. Also, the vinyl part can peel away from the adhesive portion.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this for making tokens for a board game. I went with the matte paper because other reviews said black ink tends to run on the glossy paper even after long dry times. The matte worked perfectly. The adhesive is really strong and the colors came out vibrant and the ink drys fast/doesn’t run. Just to note; your images will get damaged if you scratch them. If you want to add some added protection to your art, use laminate paper over the sticker sheet after your done printing. I have not done any waterproof testing with the product.Particularly for Cricut machines: I used a holographic laminate at first, but it could not read the cut lines on the paper due to the reflective holographic, so I had to switch to a regular clear sheet in order for it to cut. I used the Vinyl cut setting on the Cricut. It was enough pressure to cut through the laminate and the top sticker paper, but not enough to go through the whole label sheet. Which is what I needed because I wanted the sheet to remain intact. If you want individual stickers cut away from the sheet, you may want to try a higher blade pressure setting.

I’m an artist and recently started making stickers with a Cricut at home and wanted to give this a try. Previously I was making stickers and cutting them by hand. While this paper is pretty good there were a couple of things that I wasn’t super happy with.Thickness- while I know this product is meant to prevent paper jams in printers, I personally found it to be a bit too thin. I would have preferred a thicker material since I feel that it makes stickers seem more substantial and of higher quality. Even with an added laminate layer it was still too thin for my taste.Smearing- this was the first sticker material that I’ve experienced smearing with. I did use my system dialogue to print with glossy photo paper settings which helped, but it did continue to happen from time to time.Backing- this one is minor but was a bit of an inconvenience. This material is barely different in appearance from front to back so I always had to triple check that I was loading it correctly. If the back paper had even a small pattern on it it would have been much easier to use.Overall this is a decent product, and if you’re just making stickers for fun this could be a good option for you! If you’re looking for a material for something you want to sell maybe consider looking elsewhere.

This is my new favorite paper! It's the perfect thickness and flexibility that I want for the stickers I sell. The color payoff is also excellent. I use a Canon PIXMA PRO-100 and the paper works great with it. I did a water test on the paper, it does leave water spots on the ink but I laminate my stickers anyway so this isn't a problem for me. I cut out my stickers using a Cricut Explore Air 2. The stickers come off of the cutting mat nice and easy (and they cut really well too). The adhesion is awesome, and my stickers look and feel super high quality. So glad I found this paper!

By far the best printable vinyl available in my opinion. I prefer it even to the cricut brand because the colors come out crisper and more vibrant. I’ve printed somewhere around 300 sheets so far and I’ve had no issues. I use the matte to print and then seal it with a single side laminating sheet from scotch or Avery. After that it’s 100% waterproof, scratch proof and uv resistant. Without the lamination it’s only water resistant and will eventually run. But just keep in mind that there is no sticker paper available anywhere that is completely waterproof with the use of an inkjet printer. It all needs to be sealed. Also the thickness is great and feels like a quality product. The stickiness of the paper is great too. And of course it never jams for me which is awesome. I use it with an epson 2720, 2650, and 7750. I’ve tried around 10 different sticker papers on amazon and this is the one I come back to reorder again and again.
