This is the 5th or 6th review of these papers I've watched and was EASILY the most helpful. Thank you!
thank you so much!
110% agreed, this was so helpful
@@milkteafirst what you use on your iPad for drawing your stickers?
100% agree. Same story for me. This was the most helpful by far.

Brava! You used the scientific method! Each variable, such as printer, paper and color preference, all affect the final quality. I love this video and your calm presentation.❤️
Hah yes! public school education hasn't failed me yet! Thanks so much :)
This is super helpful!!! And your stickers are so cute!!
thanks so much!
Wow, this looks so cool! I'm learning to make an Etsy shop myself and I feel nervous! But learning so much is great! Although I'm never sure where to start with sticker printers, packaging and shipping, etc. So I'm hoping it goes okay. 😆❤
Just found your channel. Love the taco bell sauce at the beginning :D. Love testing the sticker labels as well. I plan on creating stickers in the next few months and so enjoy watching everyone's journey who is a few steps ahead of me. Thanks for sharing your behind-the-scenes so generously! PS: Loved the clear matte personally.
hahah yes hot sauceee!
Hi! Just wanted to say thanks for making such a comprehensive guide. I was really worried about investing money into making stickers at home, but this was really helpful. :) Your stickers are super cute too!
Thanks so much! It's definitely an investment and you might not see returns for a while. However, if you keep at it, you'll be lucky you started when you did! Best of luck!
Girl! Thank you so much for this video! I've been stressing out over sticker paper. This saved me so much time and money. Thank you!
First off, thanks for the tip on requesting samples. I learned that when in school for graphic design and just forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me. Enjoyed your video.
Honestly getting our printer settings fixed is what’s killing us!!! Makes me want to pull my hair out. It’s either got lines in it and it’s the right color. Or it’s super dark saturated but has no lines 😫
Girl how do u not have more subscribers!?!? This was so helpful! I subbed 😁👍
that makes me so happy! thank you so much for your support
Thank you for making this video! I did take notes thanks again! 😃👍 you do save a lot of money knowing which one you like the best! 😄
definitely saves money! I should have gotten samples instead of just buying what I saw most youtube sticker makers bought!
I am trying to figure out my new printer and needed a resource exactly like this. Thank you. :)
The first several stickers I made with OL177WR removable matte sticker paper were disappointing -- very washed out and/or oversaturated, the text was fuzzy, et cetera. I was thinking because the sticker paper was really smooth I should be setting the printer for matte photo paper, but the extra ink being laid down just got muddy. Once I changed to plain paper at highest quality, the stickers came out crisp and vibrant. Always test your printer with a variety of settings even if you think you know what's best.
your music choice is heaven
This was so helpful! Thanks for the video. I loved the look of the matte clear from online labels. The paper bag sticker is so cute!!
thank you! I love the matte too! so glad I found it through this sample haul
I want to thank you so much for taking the time film this. I DID NOT test and actually have 100 gloss paper sitting in my mailbox not knowing how well they will do! ✨😵💫👏🏽🤌🏽
This was very helpful Kim ! I'll take your consideration when I make my sticker shop !
fantastic! make sure to order some samples from both shops so you can make an informed decision! links to order form are in the description fyi :)
waaaaah wah wah! this video is *so* good! i have a short span of attention and get distracted from videos a lot because of adhd, but i was so intrigued this whole video because you went so in depth! i have been thinking about changing my paper for my shop, and this video helped me a ton! :D thank you so so much for doing the research for us.
That shirt gave me whiplash
Hahahha!!
This video was extremely helpful thank you!
Omg thank you for this video! Also love your channel 🖤🖤
Thank you so much for this video!!!! I just found you on YT and subscribed immediately ☺️
1st video of yours I watched...I love your approach, aesthetics & Vibes...SUBSCRIBED!! ❣️✨
The clear matte has a vellum feel to it. Really nice.
Do you have a recommendation for a printer?
Best review video I've found! Thanks so much for your help! ^^
Thank you for putting this video out. This was very helpful. Appreciate the links below.
I have been watching paper reviews and ordering samples willy-nilly because of it. You're video did everything I had hoped the others had done. I now have specific thoughts on what to look for now when I get the samples (I have to order a few I thought I didn't need). New subbie. Really thorough and informative video 😍
I just placed an order from your shop! Those rainbows are so freaking awesome and the colors feed my love of non primary colored rainbows😃
THANK YOU!
great video kimeih!
This was an absolutely fantastically done video. Well organized and excellent comparisons. Thank you so much! You have saved me time and money and I am so grateful to you for that. Have you done a comparison video for printers?? I am looking for the best inkjet for product label printing.
I've been watching a handful of sticker paper videos as I'm looking to add bookish stickers to my shop. This video was so helpful! Thanks you from a fellow Kimberly & a lover of coffee and taco bell! :D
Nice being able to get samples is amazing
Thank you so much for this video, it was absolutely eye opening.
Did you make that calendar yourself? I would love to see a video on how you made that custom calendar or where you get it printed? Or is it simply customized with your stickers on it? Either way, it's cute!
It's customized with my stickers on it :)
This is so helpful! Thank you so much for doing this.
Came across this video at the perfect time. Just started to wonder about different papers. Both companies got back to me quickly and are sending me samples!
How did you make them send you it? How do you contact the companies?
@@bluperbipb7824 I went to the websites and emailed them directly. Let them know I was interested in starting a sticker shop. They got back to me pretty quickly with links to pick out the samples. They've both followed up to see how I like the paper bit I haven't been able to use them yet
Could you tell me the websites?
Found this super helpful, thank u so much ☺️
Thanks for doing this video-it’s so helpful! I want to try this with my laser printer now 😊
SO useful! Thank you so much.
The sheetlabels premium matte is nice. The texture of the print feels nicer on it 😅😅😅
I really love how it prints on it! Is that the paper you use?
@@milkteafirst yes for my sticker sheets. It feels softer than the other sheets, the texture ☺️☺️☺️
Hello! I can’t seem to find premium matte on sl. only spectacle. is that the name?
TYSM. I’m making notes for my future shop plans
wonderful! best of luck on your future shop! if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask
Thank you so much for sharing this paper review! It was very helpful.
Hii! Im Dani from Etsy that messaged you and I loved this video! Very helpful!
I love online labels paper!
Wonderful review of the paper, thank you so much!
I love your sticker sheets!
Thank you for this video. It is super helpful! 😊
you are very welcome friend!
How were you printing it and have the stickers cut already ? Does the printer have settings to cut the stickers?
I'm using a Cricut machine to print and cut the stickers :0)
This was so helpful! I needed this thank you!
This was so helpful. Thank you!!! Subscribed :)
Thank you thank you! :)
I went to try and get samples at Online Labels lol, and I think maybe too many people were requesting because the only thing I can't find samples of now are the stickers sheets... OOF!
I have a question. How do people make sticker sheets where the stickers are already precut and ready to be taken off once they are purchased? I see people use the circuit machine to cut out the stickers entirely but does the machine also cut enough that it stays on the page but the stickers on it are ready to be peeled like what you have at 9:34
Yes, it’s called the “kiss cut” method. The Cricut blade setting can be adjusted to just cut a selected area from the top layer of sticker paper.
@@shannonjaye6004 thank you so much! That makes sense!
The ink from the online labels clear gloss never dries for me no matter how long I wait for it to dry and it leaves awful fingerprints if you use your bare hands. Did you notice something similar with the online labels clear matte? Thank you for this video it's always great to hear feedback on different sticker paper :)
The clear matte is OK to touch immediately after printing so it dries pretty quickly. I didn't have that issue with clear gloss actually - I realize I wasn't being patient enough. If I leave it for about 30 minutes or so, it'll be completely dry even if I try my hardest to smudge it. My printer is a Canon Inkjet and I set it to best quality + glossy. Do you think it could be your printer settings? Nonetheless, I am switching over to clear matte because my cricut is having a hard time reading the glossy and it's just NOT worth the time and effort to baby the black cut lines. Hope anything I said helps - please reach out if you'd still like to discuss :)
@@milkteafirst I have the same issue on clear gloss label, and I tried clear matte which turned better, but still a little bit smudge problem. I think it might because I have super sweaty hand... I like the clear matte's texture, but I still feel is a risk to use it as my products...
May I know what do you use for cutting the angle of your sticker sheet that you did at 6:06? Please let me know. Thanks
absolutely!

super helpful video thank you
Thank you for making this!
Your video was super helpfully! Subscribed🙋🏽♀️
This was so helpful OMG thanks so so much !!!
Thank you so much for this! So glad I saw this before I bought more sticker paper. I tried paper from Cricut but I don’t like it and it discouraged me.
this review was super helpful thank you so much! the first time i purchased from onlinelabels, i bought $100 worth of the weatherproof gloss, but my cricut would not for the LIFE OF ME read the registration marks and was super frustrating. had the same issue for the glossy inkjet but made it work with paper tape and a sharpie lol. i’m looking into the weatherproof matte this time to avoid the registration mark issue! did the cricut read the WP matte without any issues?
I know exactly what you mean! It's soo frustrating. WP matte reads 99.9% of the time. In a couple rare instances, it didn't work but I think my cricut was just throwing a tantrum so I gave it a water break and a quick power nap. I've had no issues recently - I just make sure the top lid is closed and there is sufficient light in the room - but none shining directly at the sensor.
Best of luck!
i've seen people apply scotch tape over the gloss paper registrations to get rid of the shine
Very very helpful video. Saved me a LOT of money :)
What setting do you use to cut your sticker sheets. Im using online glossy sticker paper. My Cricut is cutting all the way through.
Hey!! I made a video on finding the perfect pressure settings! Best of luck and hope this helps you! ua-cam.com/video/4i2gHtXFZOw/v-deo.html
Thanks so much!
Love this video!!! so helpful. How can I order the samples?

Thank you so much. Such a value for us!🌷
wondering why there is no clear matte or an equivalent for sheet labels.
I seriously appreciate this video!!
Thanks soo much!!!
This is super helpful! Also I love your freckles ;o
thank you thank you!
Love this!
Kim thank you I love your art and the video is super instructional! 😘😘😘❤️
the online labels clear matte resembles a washi tape look
Such a helpful video! Thanks!!
Thank you for inspiring me to do sticker tests! How did you get your Mattes to match the color of your design on screen? I'm unbelievably embarrassed to say how much matte paper I've wasted on testing, the colors just don't come out right! My Sticker design test has a lot of green and for some reason, it comes out blue when I set it to "Matte Paper". I don't think it's because my Canon printer is dirty because I cleaned it a lot and when I tested glossy paper, the colors come out so well. Also I made a matte sticker gift for my 2 friends last August and when I played with Matte paper then, the colors were perfect, I just honestly don't remember the settings for it. This current round of testing is failing terribly, and I don't know what to do. I feel like I've tried almost every setting permutation.
that is really strange. I can tell you I thought something was wrong with my printer and I was on the phone with Canon for quite some time - they guided me to download another app to print my images from. in the end, I found that printing on "plain paper" actually works best with my designs. this being said, I'm using a Pro9000 Mark II and use plain setting - whereas when I used my 8520, I used matte. I know it's a headache to waste so much paper but if you watch my video re:sticker pressure settings, you can use that method of organizing your images on design space to print on one sheet of paper, multiple times. hope this helps!
You need to download new ICC printer profiles for darker color. Matte paper takes more ink to look brighter. So you have to pick a good ICC profile for that
Very helpful. Thank you 😊
Just ordered your coffee sticker sheet 😍
Thank you, thank you! Love how thorough you are. Side question: what white pen were you using on the black paper?
you're very welcome! I'm using Gelly Roll (size 10) in the video! I find that if you go any lower than 10 (08 MIGHT be acceptable.. but not really) then the ink hardly comes out and it's scratchy - I definitely recommend size 10. I have about 4 of them! You can find them at Michael's if you have one near you. Amazon works too but it might send you an assortment of of sizes.
Wonderful,@@milkteafirst !
@@milkteafirst Too funny! I just checked and I ordered a 6/8/10 pack a couple days ago. :^D
@@visualthinking ahhah! ooooh well, you might have a different experience! let me know what you think of it, I hope it works better for you!
Thanks for this video. Helped out alot. Looking into adding stickers to my shop. Any recommendations on printers? Have you tried making any waterproof stickers?
great video! a ton of useful info!
thank you! if you ever have any one-off questions, I'm an open book! please feel free to reach out :)
I love this video so much thank you ❤️
Hi! what printer settings would you print out the matte clear from online labels? I keep getting a white line through the writing on mine. :(
Hi can u make a tutorial on how you make the sheet size go short and end it it like that ?
Wonderful review and test. so helpful, and I only am a personal user
Great video
Thank you for this video your awesome
Hey so this is a really strange question but I need answers..lol Why do you have your books on your bookshelf with the paper side out? I know you probably have a really good reason. If no answer, I will assume its because you really like paper..like...a lot. 😄 🤣
hahah! well yes, i do like paper but that’s not the only reason. i have 2 bookshelves, that one holds older books from my childhood ie babysitters club, goosebumps, and the like and the other, books i’ve purchased in my adulthood and reference often. i only use my smaller bookshelf now.
re: the larger one in the video - the color was too noisy for my taste (right below the tv) so i flipped them around to see if i’d like it. turns out, i do! because i haven’t turned them back yet.
hope that helps!
Thank you. Haha that makes sense! 😊 Also, thanks for making this video. Super helpful!! Happy Holidays!!🎄
@@annawittekind4363 happy holidays!! :)
Awesome video. Do you mind if I ask which Canon printer that is?
I'm just getting started making stickers and choosing a printer is overwhelming
Thank you!
Sure! In the video I’m using Canon Pixma 8520. I’ve switched printers now and currently use the Pro9000 Mark II
@@milkteafirst Thanks so much!
The epson eco tanks are super good for printing large quantities. I have the et 8500 and the quality is amazing, and each print is only about a penny
I'd like to ask, so that transparent/clear backing is based on the paper where you print it?
Yes! :)
is there such thing as eco friendly sticker paper
I normally use gloss vinyl printable, I'm just curious how are these, do the tear or are the tear proof?
the matte ones tear but the others don't!
You don't seal them with anything?
no, because they are not meant for water bottles but mostly for bullet journals, calendars, and the like. the single one-off stickers I advertise as water-resistant, I seal them with a laminate :)
Hi, thank you for sharing. May I ask, what printer did you use? Thank you!
In this video, I am using Canon PIXMA TR8950 which is a good starter printer. FYI, now I am using Canon Pro9000 Mark II! Hope that helps :)
@@milkteafirst Omg yes it does!! Thank you so much!! Best of luck in everything that you do!!
@@milkteafirst can you share your information that you said about settings?? Right now I’m trying to figure out settings because what I’m printing definitely isn’t coming out like what I had created. It’s like lighter and streaky!
Such a helpful video! Have you tested how waterproof the weatherproof stickers are? I'm wanting to make water bottle stickers but struggling to find paper that doesn't blur or bleed when wet even if it is sold as weather/waterproof.
hey! thanks so much. the trick with weatherproof is in the ink. by nature, inkjet will bleed - so an alternative is to use laser.
however, if you only have/want to use inkjet - a route I've seen a lot of people use is weatherproof paper (like in the video) + inkjet with a cold laminate so the water doesn't actually touch the ink.
I hope this helps!
Thanks for the video! Which printer do you use?
Earlier in the video you said SL’s weatherproof matte wasn’t yellow tinged like OL’s, and that you wished you would have switched sooner... but then later on in the video you said OL’s weatherproof matte was more vibrant?? I’m confused which is which now...
oops did i?! SL's weatherproof matte is more vibrant with the same printing settings! my mistake - apologies fo the confusion !!
I should have watched this video before I bought the paper!! 😭
Hahha yesss I can relate! It's OK, next time :0)
Do you laminate at all? Or just sell them as is with the oaper
When did you get the samples for spectacle matte paper (sheetlabels)?
I've been in contact with them regarding a change in quality, and they told me their supplier changed a paper mill, resulting in another quality. They also told me they would be looking for another supplier to get closer to the old quality, but I haven't heard back from them about that. Do you know if your paper is from an old stash of paper they had, or in fact from the new? If they are from the new, quality is "back to normal" again!
woah! - i had no idea! this batch of paper is from Oct 2020 and I did a full order in November - same quality as samples.
@@milkteafirst Thank you for sharing! I am doing a 1000 sheet order, but wanted to wait to make sure I got the spectacle quality!
Hello! I love your small business so much! I was wondering if you could help me? Do you mind? if not that's okay your a very talented artist and must be very busy💕💕💕
I want to become a small business too! I want to go to Cal arts, and I know its expensive, and since Its just me and my mom. I want to make a shop and make my dreams come true! 😄 If you don't mind, what materials, do you use? Like (printer, paper, ink, envelopes, pins,) Or how do you do shipping?
What tool do you use to print the Address?
or what company do you work with to buy your supplies? Again thank you so much if your read this Or if anyone reads this Thank you!. Hope you have a Wonderful day!
This was such an awesome video! I scrolled through the comments, so I hope this wasn’t asked already, but for the clear stickers, how did you get the outline/offset around each sticker to come out clear?
Use white! You will know if you've purchased a printer with a white ink cartridge (they are VERY expensive - like industrial grade expense) - so the white acts almost like a null. I hope that makes sense. Great question!
@@milkteafirst oh my gosh! Thank you so much yea this makes perfect sense - I already make white outlines for regular sticker paper, but I wasn’t sure if it would show up on clear... but you are totally right I definitely don’t have white ink 😂🤣 you’re the best thank you!
@@MoreofMora you're very welcome!
What printer do you use btw.?
