Review on Bulk Pack Of 60 Holographic Rainbow Sticker Sheets For Inkjet And Laser Printers - Printable, Waterproof Vinyl Stickers In 8.5X11 Inches by Shelly Pearson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice holo sticker paper that works well with laser printers.

• Would I get it again or recommend it to others: Yes, it's a very nice holo sticker paper and a good value.• Why: It works well with laser printers (can be used with ink-jet printers, but laser is likely to work best and last longer than ink-jet printers) to create waterproof (within reason) stickers, decals or signs.• Style, brand and version: Uinkit Holographic sticker paper, 25 sheets in version Holographic Rainbow. (there are several varieties)• Included: 25 sheets of holo sticker paper (there are other size options) with a holo front, sticker back (peel away)• Size: standard letter paper size, 8.5×11 inches• Presentation: It has a nice plastic storage envelope to store them and keep them from getting damaged. (Store them flat.)• Quality, value and how well it works and functions: It's a very nice, thick attractive silver holo sticker paper. You can really see the holo rainbow look (see pictures).• Functions: Works well to make waterproof (within reason, I wouldn't leave an item soaking in water) stickers, labels, signs, decals and decor printed with your laser (or ink-jet) printer.• Pros:-Reasonably priced for the uniqueness and features of the holo sticker paper, the quality and the amount.-High quality, thick waterproof (within reason) full sized (letter sized) sticker paper with a silver holo finish.• Cons:-While it is waterproof, to a degree I wouldn't leave a sticker or item with it soaking in water. It's more designed to hold up to water not sit in it.• Tips & Thoughts:-A laser printer is going to perform much better with this for holding up than an ink-jet. A monochrome or color laser printer will use heat and toner vs ink. Ink can run and fade, even on high quality paper. Laser toner lasts longer and will never run or smear once set. It can be abraded and scratched off on accident though (on any paper). If treated with reasonable care it should last a long time.-However, do note that on every label sheet (of any kind, size and brand) because of the heat of a laser printer, you will get some page curl. It will not come out flat like it goes in, but with some degree of curl, that's normal.-Due to the curl (all laser printers do this on label sheets) it's going to be best used on stickers and labels you cut after use than full sheet sticker use like a sign. It can be easily printed full sheet, and used full sheet, but you'll have some curl to the page after printed vs flat (like unprinted pages).-I've used paper like this (normally had to buy at a specialty paper place online, at a higher price) I've used for custom labels for cleaning spray bottles, shower and hand soap bottles (shampoo, soap, etc, just a set of clear plastic bottles) and they hold up to moisture (even in the shower-but only if laser printed, ink jet would run and make a mess) very well for many years. I get at least 3-5 (sometimes longer) years of use out of a label this way. What eventually happens is the adhesive wears out or I scuff and scratch it during use (the laser print part). But they are very durable.-If you google there are a lot of free printable label designs (for any type of paper or printer). The PDF ones that are fill in (where you can adjust the lettering print to customize them to the word you want, say soap, shampoo vs blank) are available for free on various websites and blogs. Pre-designed ones for various labels are also available if you look. You can design your own with software, but there are pre-made options out there if you search for them and many are free.-The "graphics fairy" website has a lot of lovely free options and vintage graphics. (Some are paid, but there are plenty of free ones and I've never joined or used the paid part as there's so much in the free part.)-Precut your stickers before trying to peel the backing off, it’s a lot easier this way than trying to cut a peeled sticker.-Be sure your printer can handle this type of paper and thickness (many can, some can’t) and know that you likely will not be able to load it like you do normal printer paper, you’ll have to figure out where it can be loaded manually vs auto feed. If you’re not used to doing this on your printer it can be a learning curve on loading it and also which side goes up in loading. Check your printer’s manual or website before ordering. If it can handle photo paper or card-stock, it can likely handle sticker paper as well.• Impressions: This is a very nice laser holo sticker paper that's high quality and should last a long time. If you're using a laser printer, expect page curl (all sticker paper does this). If you're using an ink jet printer- you may have ink running, ink fading and don't expect the ink to be waterproof like a laser printer will be.
