Question: My printer at home does NOT print in color, just B&W. My printer at my office DOES print in color. Can I print my color images onto the transparency paper at work, and then have Circuit cut the outline? What if I can't print using my Circuit? It seems I need to connect my computer to my Cricuit to do projects, which I do, but it also has to connect to my printer? That's the problem I'm running into. Suggestions??
do you need to upload particular images specifically for clear stickers? or would any image do?
Any images would do! High resolution is best and adjust your printer settings
do you have any clear?. Slightly cloudy and opaque is not what I'm looking for. looking for 100% clear. anyone know where to get from?
Hi
Thanks for your video. Do you overlap matte tape over cut lines? Do you cover the whole page with the laminate sheet? or just up to the lines? What sticker paper and laminate do you prefer using these days? Thanks 😊
Yes for glossy/clear printable vinyl put matte tape over the cut lines. Sometimes you will have to trace a sharpie over as well.
It is easier to laminate over the whole sheet- that’s why they’re 9” x 12” to cover the full page and then some.
We sell all of these materials but we’re currently out of stock. :( on our website you can signup for the waiting list for 10% off discount once we relaunch!
can you print a fully solid color on a transparent vinyl ? while leaving semi transparent other areas of the same sticker?
For example can you fade from fully opaque red to a fully transparent red?
Sure, you can print any color just like you’d print on a regular sheet of paper, except for white- unless your printer specifically has white ink (very uncommon). Also clear stickers work best on white surfaces- everything else will look slightly washed out.
can i do this using waterslide decals?
Yes, absolutely, clear waterslide is thinner and maneuverable, overall more delicate than clear printable vinyl. Some waterslide doesn’t require spray to seal. Will be back in stock in about a week
Can I use my joy xtra to print out a literary clear sticker ? Just like the one you did !!! I don’t want a white surface between the sticker and the picture itself!
If it can print on inkjet paper then yes it should work! You may have to adjust for a thicker, glossy print and use high quality as the setting if it is available
Good afternoon I am trying to cut an out an image in cricut that I printed on clear vinyl sticker paper. When I insert into my cricut it cuts each individual part instead of cutting it as a sticker. Can you please help me
I forget the exact setting but you need to make sure it is set to print then cut rather than the machine tracing the small details and cutting them out like that. Also sometimes setting the image as low/mid quality helps so the machine doesn’t cut out bits of your stickers. Good luck!
How would it look on a clear mug? Do you have any videos on showing that?
Clear stickers on clear/glass surfaces look washed out- better to use white sticker paper!

Thank you
is there a way i can avoid the smudging of ink ? any help is appreciated
Yes it has to do with the type of printable vinyl and ink you use. We wrote an article on how to stop ink from smearing: royalelements.com/ink-smearing-on-printable-vinyl
the printer has been discontinued! any other options?
The HP Deskjet? There may be a newer version of it- I saw it on Amazon a few days ago. Other than that I have been loving the HP color laser jet- more expensive but worth it for quality imo.
Can you also do this for model kits like the testors b2 stealth bomber cause I want to change the waterslide decals to regular clear stickers
Yes you could use clear printable vinyl instead, definitely! It’s more durable but is a little thicker than waterslide.
@@royalelementsofficial thanks but I just don't know how the size of them are for the bomber though
do you have to convert png raster to vector from canva or can you use the images as they are from canva
No you can use them as they are- Canva gives you the option to save it as all kinds of different files
Can you link the two vinyl sticker paper sources?
Currently restocking, but will be able to be found here: royalelements.com/shop - subscribe to our mailing list for 10% off when we’re back so you don’t miss out :)
Can i add a background to transparent stickers if i want to?
Yes but just know if you stick it on anything other than a white surface the printed parts will look less vibrant than if you used glossy/matte white printable vinyl or sticker paper. Good luck on your project!
Hi, how can I make a sticker sheet out of this, peel the background and leave only the stickers? Thank you
Yes print, then cut around your stickers, then cut around the shapes. There are some more details but that’s basically it!
What are the models of both machines?

Cricut Machine - Explore Air 2
