halpain17 13 Posted January 5, 2015 So, I am cutting vinyl for most of my work, however, I plan to use my HP home printer to print some simple decals on aqueous friendly 8.5x11 vinyl sheets I also was given an old 18" double sided laminator. I was wondering if anyone has done this and if it would work. I don't know if there's any way to only laminate the face of the vinyl with a double sided, so I thought i might be able to laminate the entire sheets as the machine does, and then let the cutter do the contour cut, followed by trimming the individual decals, so that the laminate on the back will just peel off with the backing... Any better way to do this? Or any foreseen problems? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
halpain17 13 Posted January 6, 2015 Update: after some research i've noticed the option to use "kraft paper" for the bottom role. Is there something most use as a standard? And what laminate would be used for 18"? I don't know if I should be using hot/cold ..? Sorry for the noobish questions... Just no experience with graphic yet.

Sue2 920 Posted January 6, 2015 On bumper stickers, magnets & long term signs I use a cold UV laminate. I would suggest making yourself a sign or magnet to test out your materials in real world conditions. Sue2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
