OMG, I am so happy! I followed your instructions and was able to get it to work perfectly the 1st time. I was so nervous. I hear people have such a hard time with print and cut! Thanks for the most clear directions ever!

Thank you sooooo much! This was the best tutorial I have ever seen!

Great video thanks so much! Where do I get the laminate overlay please?

@Alexis just s little tip from someone who works with cut vinyl, if you apply some heat after sticking them on your surface it really help activate the adhesive. Even a blow dryer for your hair would make a difference.

I love this! Thank you! My printable vinyl didn't come with the overlay material....I was so confused!!

This was an excellent video! Thanks so much for the comparison!

Love your DOOR! Anyways, what settings do you suggest for printing so the colors look so rich?!

Thank you . Which printer are can use ?

how do you flatten the rolledup vinyl? After printing the vinyl rolls.

I’m a longtime Silhouette user (Portrait, Curio) and recently purchased the Cricut Maker. Trying to make sense of the transition to the much-different software. Great video. thanks!

Yes the software is so different! I have been trying to learn the Cricut software since I have been doing more cut file designs lately. Hope you love your Maker!

Do you recommend the cricut or silhouette for print and cut? I want to use silhouette studio to design my own stickers, but was gifted a cricut, though I could exchange it for the silhouette.

Hi great tutorial thank you really helped answer many of my questions for doing this myself But are they fully waterproof or would you recommend hand-wash only

I've been trying for hours to figure out what's wrong with my brand new Silhouette Cameo 4. I have it set to cardstock plain, and the page settings to Cut Mat Cameo 12x12. I also have Constrain to Cutting Mat checked. However, on the Send screen it says "Load Media" instead of Load Mat. It also does my test cuts above my cardstock direct onto the mat. It's like it will not recognize my mat. Can you please help me?

You can also seal your printable vinyl with contact paper! It’s super easy and cheap

I used a brother laser printer for these. The Expressions Vinyl printable vinyl says to use with an inkjet printer, and I have done that as well with good results, but I just happened to have my laser printer set up, so that's what I used. :) Hope that helps!

If it require the acrylic spray, just instead overlay with adhesive back clear film or vinyl - in which case, just print on adhesive back photo paper.

Thank you!

Does the glare of the laminate not make it hard for the machine to read the registration marks?

I loved the look inside your software! This one is TOTALLY different than Cricut.

Hey! If you check out Colleen's video, which is linked above in the description, she tests out the Cricut printable vinyl. :)

Thanks •°☆ really helped

Do you put the vinyl right in your inkjet?? Doesn’t it smear because the ink is wet?

Is the printable vinyl more like paper or does it stretch like real vinyl? I'm applying on a helmet so it needs to heat and curve like real vinyl.

Update! Answered my own question :) Transparent Oracle 651 vinyl! Now I just need to find it here in Canada. Does anyone know of a comparable "laminate overlay" to the expressions premium/glossy vinyl? And where in Canada I might be able to purchase it. Does Oracle or some other brand make something that would work? If so, what is it called? I'm assuming Expressions Vinyl isn't the only one to have such a thing. I can buy sticker paper & printable vinyl here, however I can't seem to find the glossy protective overlay for it. I can only find it in the US and by the time I add shipping and USD to CDN conversion it's ridiculously expensive. Hoping there is some sort of clear, glossy overlay that I can buy that will do the same thing. Any info would be super helpful! Great video by the way! Can't wait to make all sorts of stickers and decals!

I traced my cell phone case and uploaded it to silhouette and can’t get my hand drawn lines to disappear like you did. Do I need the designer edition to do that?

@SThompsonRAMM_1203

Kaitlynn Luaders , Hi Kaitlynn, she used the traced shape, like you did, for the size, and then used the tools within Silhouette to create the actual lines to be cut. Once you have your lines you can then delete your traced line pattern. For those that have one with their printer, I would just scan my phone with a scanner.

Just what i needed to see! Been wanting to try printable vinyl but clueless where to start. THANK YOU a million times for this video. PS Can I just use my regular HP printer?

Is there a reason for the white boarder? Can I do it without it?

@AlexisMiddletonPersiaLou

Do you mean the border around the sticker or around the sheet of vinyl? You need the registration marks printed on the vinyl sheet to cut around the printed design, so the white border is necessary there. The border around the individual stickers is not necessary. You just need to change where the cut lines are positioned in the silhouette software. Using the internal offset feature is usually the best way to do that. Hope that helps!
