THIS PRODUCT IS USEFUL

When I first received this product I was very pleased with how easy it was to use. I knew I had to change the Cricut settings to cut out the new material, so I printed and cut out a sheet of possum stickers. The cut wasn't perfect, but I expected that. In any case, I wanted to use the first batch for testing purposes. First I took two stickers and put them on the blue mug that you can see in the photos. I left it on for 24 hours after hearing it and then washed the mug in the dishwasher. This laminate is not waterproof. The ink ran very badly. I contacted the company and they indicated that the laminate should extend past the edge of the sticker but did not respond to follow up requests. I also put a sticker under the UV lamp. He turned yellow like CRAZY. The opposite edge on the left is how the decal should look. The two elephants are comparison stickers - they were left under a UV lamp for two days after the opposite stickers and came out fine. I wanted to see if the laminate had yellowed or if there was a problem with the vinyl I was printing on or maybe the ink used. I was able to remove the laminate without much effort. I'm not sure if this would have been possible if Cricut hadn't hammered on it when checking the cut settings, but it peeled off. In the second photo it is very clear that the cause of the discoloration is the laminate. Overall, I'm not sure what this product could be good for. If your item won't be exposed to UV rays or moisture, why laminate it? I know teachers laminate things so they can be reused but this product is expensive so I doubt it will be useful in an educational setting. Very, very disappointed in both the product and the company. I have a small business and would be disappointed if I actually shipped stickers made out of this material. Thankfully, Revain makes returning easy!
