In this video, I show how I make vinyl stickers or decals using my Laser Printer and Silhouette Cameo Craft Cutter. this could become a sticker business for you. I use standard sticker vinyl and just print onto the vinyl with my standard laser printer and lacquer over them to protect the ink from running and for UV protection.

  • Hey there. I thought I'd give you a tip. When using a laser printer, you don't have to add lacquer or any other spray fixative or protectant layer to your printed images. Laser printers use toner, which is essentially a plastic colored powder that is heated with the laser toner, which melts the colored plastic powder (toner) onto your paper (or, in this case, vinyl). Laser toner is completely waterproof because it is not "ink". I was searching for somebody who had tried to print on vinyl with a laser printer because I knew it would save me some money to print my own designs with my laser printer, then cut the designs with my cricut. I'm glad I found your video. I wasn't sure if the heat from the laser printer would melt the vinyl or ruin the printer by melting the vinyl into the printer! YIKES! So, I'm glad it worked for you. So, this is a bonus for both of us. You don't have to spray those skickers. They will not bleed. The toner is just melted plastic, so it's kind of like adding another layer of plastic to your sheet plastic (vinyl). I hope this helps! By the way... great video. You took your time to help people, and adding each phase of the process is helpful to people.

    It didn’t hit me that you could buy the vinyl rolls and cut them down yourself for so much cheaper! This was a very enlightening video and was indeed very helpful! 😊
  • I’m a plumber and wanted some stickers for my toolbox but couldn’t find any that I liked. Thought I’ll make some of my own and found your video, what an absolute great video 👌👌👌👌 thanks 😊
