Gwybkq Sticker Paper Printable Vinyl for Inkjet Printer, 50 Sheets Glossy White Waterproof Labels

Works well and doesn’t stick in printer but I do one page at a time in case

I'm going to write the review I wish I'd had when buying this paper -- because then I wouldn't have had to buy and test every one of them!For reference: I'm using a Canon ix6820 and a Silhouette Cameo 4 (similar to a Cricut). I bought every type of printable sticker paper that this company has, and tested them all. I made kiss cut settings (like a sticker sheet). Here are my results. (Please note that I only tested the Matte for waterproof quality.)TRANSLUCENTYes, it's a little squeaky, but it's beautiful. I definitely prefer this over the Clear paper. It's my choice for see-through sticker paper from this brand. I did notice that when you peel the sticker off, it doesn't look too great -- until it's placed on paper again. Then it's beautiful!GLOSSYMy personal favorite. It printed beautifully, and has a finish that I love. Only complaints are these: the more intricate stickers can be a bit delicate, and also my Cameo's blade does get a little stuck if I set too many passes for the machine. But I think that's just the nature of glossy paper.(Bonus: I tested a few pens on labels made from this paper, and it didn't smear or scratch the sticker. What a win!)MATTENot terrible, but not my favorite. Maybe I'm doing something wrong on my end, but sending this paper through my Cameo was somewhat frustrating. The cuts weren't very accurate, and when I peeled off the stickers, they tore more than once. The color is very vibrant, and when I ran some stickers under some water they didn't bleed at all. Unfortunately, they're just not sturdy enough for my taste.CLEARLast one! And sadly the one I like the least. I thought this sticker paper would be my favorite -- it feels nice and smooth to the touch, and isn't squeaky at all. Unfortunately, the ink smears a lot. I let this one dry for 15+ minutes before I picked it up (which I don't usually do, I was just busy) but after the Cameo was done cutting, and I transferred them to the paper that you see above, I had ink on my fingers. If you look closely at the second picture, you can see they have an odd textured look -- that's actually my fingerprints.Overall, I don't hate any of these. They all feel like good quality sticker paper (and I actually prefer them to the pricier OL brand).TL;DR: My personal favorites are Glossy and Translucent.SILHOUETTE SETTINGSOn the off-chance another Silhouette user has made it this far into this novel of a review, I'm going to include my cut settings for the Glossy and Translucent papers!GLOSSY (kiss cut): Force 8, Speed 4, Passes 1, Acceleration 1, Blade Depth 3GLOSSY (full cut): Force 28, Speed 5, Passes 2, Acceleration 1, Blade Depth 3TRANSLUCENT (kiss cut): Force 18, Speed 4, Passes 1, Acceleration 1, Blade Depth 3TRANSLUCENT (full cut): Force 28, Speed 5, Passes 2, Acceleration 1, Blade Depth 3

Testing this glossy sticker paper has been a journey! I at first printed a sheet on our HP Officejet Pro 8610 printer, and although the colors adhered to the paper better, the black ink borders smeared - even after drying for 2 days (in other words, the black ink never adhered well). However, I never had that problem with printing photos on glossy photo paper from that printer.After doing a BUNCH of research, intuition told me that the problem was likely the ink, not the glossy sticker paper. So, I then bought an Epson ET-2850 .... and the problem was solved! The ink dried on this paper almost instantly! Yay! (You can tell how committed I was to being able to make glossy labels!) So while this was an expensive test, I'm now set to print and cut on glossy sticker paper - and probably anything else.This paper worked GREAT after that. I did learn that the cut settings on my Cricut Explorer 2 need to be fiddled with a bit - the glossy sticker setting I selected cut a bit too deep. But that is easily corrected. I also learned that to cut out stickers printed on glossy sticker paper with a smart cutting machine, you will likely need to apply regular scotch tape over the registration marks so the machine can see them, otherwise your cuts will likely make your labels or stickers unusable. How much light in the room didn't matter, in my case (it apparently does for some).

This product worked perfectly on my cricket maker three with the sticker setting. You print then cut, and it keeps the ink all in one place it does not come out wet or smudge, and the stickers are great for things that get washed by hand. The color fades if you put them in the dishwasher.

I used this paper in my small business for several months, and overall it's great sticker paper. Prints easily & looks great, as long as you only load one sheet at a time. Adhesion is great most of the time, more on that later. Definitely needs to be laminated or sealed (but I find that's how all printable sticker papers are). The option to buy a larger amount was awesome. Also there is no branding or grid on backside, which is nice for small business use.The first issue I had was that the back of the backing paper was very paper like. If you use an adhesive mat (like cricut, & even on a light grip) to cut your stickers, it is very difficult to get the stickers off afterwards without ripping the backing. Even if you do manage to get the backing off without ripping it, which takes a lot of patience, a little sticky residue still remains. So then the back will stick to other stickers & stuff, and even transfers to whatever it was stuck to. Probably not a big deal for personal use, but for a small business it leaves an unprofessional feel if the back of your stickers are ripped or slightly sticky.Second was an adhesion issue. I used this for awhile in my small business, and 90% or the time it worked great. But for some weird reason, there are a few brands of powder coated metal water bottles it just won't stick to, but other brands it's just fine. The brands I found that aren't compatible are Stanley, Yeti, CamelBak, & sometimes Oowala.

I love this paper to make stickers with. I like to laminate this paper for extra water proofing. My stickers are long-lasting with this paper.
