- Goal -Print arcade button inserts on transparency paper, put them inside arcade LED buttons- Printer used -InkJet Printer- Printing Tips -Don't follow the instructions.Instructions says:Use Transparency paper, in your settings (THIS IS WRONG). This created a washed out black color.I fixed the issue by switching my settings back to the default "plain paper" this works! I then got a deep black color. PERFECT!- INK Stays On, doesn't run -After i print on the transparency paper, i give it a couple of minutes to make sure it's dry. And it's fine. Ink never smears or runs. It dries very quick. You can touch it with your fingers after a few minutes and the ink stays on.___________________________- Printer Settings -Paper / Quality:Print Quality: Best (you want to print on best to get the deep rich colors)Type is: Plain Paper (don't use transparency)Effects:Resizing Options: Actual Size___________________________- How i made the inserts -The goal is find the correct size you need, match the circles in the print to the circle size your buttons need.So FIRST, you need to know what size you need. I used regular printer paper for this test. (don't waste your transparency paper)I found random arcade button templates online and threw it into photoshop. I first printed it out as is to see if it matched the size i need. It was close but not perfect.So I then took one of the button images and i made a new template with that button in photoshop.I duplicated that button many times, each duplicated button i slightly enlarged. This way each button is slightly larger.And then i printed it out on regular printer paper and matched it to my button to find the "perfect size".Once i found the best size. I go back into photoshop and take the correct size button image. And i make duplicates of that size. Align the buttons and then throw on all the artwork (player 1, player 2, etc) on the buttons.I printed a small sheet of buttons to test it and it was perfect. (as you can see from my image)BUT what you really want to do is, create a FULL PAGE of buttons. Print duplicates of the same buttons.Why would you want to do that?Because if you don't, you'll waste the transparency paper. It's nearly impossible to stick the same paper back into the printer to print. After you print on the transparency paper, the printer will create a curve in the transparency paper. It makes it difficult to feed it back into the printer. I tried and it kept jamming my printer.So use it or lose it. Use up the WHOLE sheet. Print as many buttons as you can on one sheet of transparency paper.Also because...It's VERY difficult to cut perfect circles. I used an x-acto knife. I had to very carefully cut circles. I cut a TON of buttons on one sheet and i messed up many times when i was cutting. But because i printed a full sheet of buttons. I had more chances (more of the same buttons) to try to cut close to a perfect circle.___________________________- ONE LAST TIP -I designed my button inserts, so that they would create black buttons (black using the ink) and the LED light of the buttons would shine through the artwork.It works, but i ran into a small issue. This transparency paper are adhesive sheets that are stuck on a white paper background. After i cut the buttons out. I removed the adhesive from the white paper and i stuck it (like a sticker) inside my buttons.But what i learned was this....when the LED light shines through the black ink. That black ink is no longer 100% black. It looks like a grainy light black color.It looks like what i should have done was NOT remove the white paper.Leaving the transparency paper on the white background will help make the black color look closer to a solid black.I think this issue is due to the InkJet printer. A laser printer would probably do a better job. (i don't have a laser printer to test that).*** I think that tip will apply to any project if you plan to use this on top of a light source, keep that in mind ***___________________________- IN CONCLUSION -It works, works well. I recommend it.They also do sell similar adhesive paper minus the transparency (white stickers). That could work, but i didn't buy that paper so i can't try it.I really like this stickers. It printed well, no jam, no smudge. I dont know about waterproof so i cant judge it. The only reason i gave 4 stars is because it is really hard to say where is the printable side. I really had to pull on the corner to find out which side to print on. It was annoying. I think the back paper should have like a print from the company, logo or something to say "this is the back". Besides that, it is a great sticker. I m buying again :)So far this product is working great. The ink is not smudging and they are sticking great to my lotion tubes and bottles. I cut and applied immediately after printing on the paper. (I had another paper I tried that dried for days and still smeared ink when smoothing the label down during application.) The two issue I am having is...1) that the backing does get stuck to my light cricut mat and doesn't always come off clean and 2) it doesn't always cut all the way though the backing. I use the "more" pressure setting for cutting and it still doesn't cut cleanly though. It really isn't too much of an issue because it is just the backing so once you peel the sticker off the backing the little extra pieces are gone. Once you peel the sticker off you can tell the sticker paper is heavier than other papers I have tried. I have not tested them for waterproof. I did only run one sheet through my printer at a time. Another paper I tried jammed up if you put more than one sheet in the feed tray so got in the habit of doing that that I didn't try to put more than one sheet in for this product. So far this is the best paper I have used for my labels. ( I have only tried 3, but so far would buy this product again.)Is you don’t laminate the colors will run a bit. But overall these are the best quality I have used so far.This has been my favorite matte sticker paper. Can’t give review on water resistance since I laminate my stickers. Love the variety of number of sheets.This paper works well and is pretty good with my cricut. It does feel very thin though, and I can tell it’s not going to stand up to the hot sun of Florida for very long so I bought an lamination vinyl to cover it with. As long as you know you will need some extra protection, this sticker paper is good!I use these for cosplay labels and they work great. Easy to print, and I can spray on a clear coat for additional protection. They work perfectly in my printer, and I can use a vinyl cutter to get precise cuts.I am not sure why the maker labels it as frosty. The print quality is good with crisp edges and brilliant color. I haven't tested it for adhesion or water-resistance at this time, but will update when I do. Know that this paper is not matte or frosted at all, it is a clear glossy sticker paper.¿¡Otra vez forrar los benditos cuadernos y libros?! Olvídate, en un par de horas terminas con estas micas que se adhieren y quedan perfectas, ni se notan y protegen las portadas de los libros y los cuadernos. Aprobadas por papá tacaño y mamá perfeccionista.Very good quality. I was going to buy this again but the price went up so high within a month. From $41 to $70.. almost 40% increase, ridiculous!Honest assestment as im looking for a good sticker paper for business. consideration of quality & price.1st item i tried is xxx product, its not cheap compare to the price of this product. But quality wise is better.. this product on the cutting part alone, when u remove the paper on a lightgrip mat, backing paper already peel/tear.. excess sticker paper are tear down. It wont affect the design. but its annoying.thanks.. giving 3stars for the product quality.5 stars on the pricesmears a but but does the jobimpressed with the vivid colors I got upon printing on those !
