ur stickers are always top notch and thats a pretty neat label printer too, seems very useful, thanks for sharing, poggy, great video as always, top quality stuff
Be careful when making stickers with thermal printer tho. They will eventually fade over time and depending in which paper you choose, it might fade in a couples of months or years. The more expensive paper supposedly the more it will last. I'm not hating tho, I want thermal printers for myself
Omg I literally just launched my stickers on Etsy after watching your old videos hundreds of times for advice 😍 Thanks for all of the fun and helpful content Jel!
It’s really cool to see your process! I’ve made a few die cut stickers through online services-Sticker Mule and Sticker Ninja. One great thing with both services is you can order a sample pack/small quantity of stickers, so you can see how they print out and make sure you’re happy with them. Then you can order larger quantities. I’ve also made sticker sheets with Canva. Your tip about making colors a little brighter is great! I do find with online services that colors come out just a little darker. It hasn’t been much of a difference with my designs, but definitely a good point to keep in mind.
What also work to get your prints less saturated is to look into the printer settings, most printers is set to auto correct colors. You find those settings in Properties; Under media settings, Click on Advanced. there you will get into color controls. There you will have some choices to change gamma, brightness, contrast and saturation. I am nut sure if this is the best but from allot of test prints, just to set down the gamma to 1.8 do help a bunch.. but thats with my set up and printer.. it may differ from your set up. Oh, forgot to also tell you, you dont need to re feed the whole thing again in the cutter on a new setting :).. To the places you want the cutter to cut all the way thru on a sticker sheet just duplicate that layer and the cutter will cut a second time and cut out the whole sticker sheet. Hope that was understandable x)
I received a Cricut Maker3 for my birthday last week, specifically because I want to make and sell stickers. Thank you for all the great info in your video. And of course now I want a thermal printer as well. ;) I'm so very excited to get started.
Thanks for posting, you are a huge insparation that doesn't make me regret my artwork. Some youtubers make me feel like I need to be as good as them, but you've helped me realize what's right. Everyone has their different standards and styles!
Do you add a clear protective coating to your stickers after they print? I've tried a few different sticker papers at home and everyone one of them has a problem with the black ink drying completely, so to keep them from smearing I have to use a spray on protective coating. Have you run into this problem with your stickers?
For the white border you can alt+select the thumbnail of the image and do Select>Modify>Expand and type in how many points. Maybe about 25. Might be faster than hand drawing the outline. Hope that helps! Looking into making stickers for Etsy.
I actually don't know! That's a good question. I also tried to make a label for my travel shampoo/soap bottles and I just taped some paper on with packing tape but the water seeped in and made the ink run... Thermal labels might be a good solution to this 🤔
I love this video so much! Your lil bird is so adorable ☺️ I make homemade soaps, candles and body butters. I recently purchased this cute little thermal printer thingy, but it’s black and white only ☹️ don’t get me wrong, I’m a simple kinda gal, black is my favorite color 😉 however I’d love to be able to make some stickers with a little color to them 😂 Also what’s that device you’re drawing on? I told my husband how I want to get something like that but I have no idea what “that” is haha
I was particularly interested in what you said about converting to CMYK and this throws me, but now I feel like I understand more about how to tweak the colours. 😊
Hi, please design on canva, setting the size to 2*2 inches and save the design to the pdf formate, then you can choose the 2" on the page to get there.
Yes I made stickers before but I draw them in paper after I'm done I put tape in the drawings I made in paper then I start cutting it and then I take what sticker I want to stick and put it in water and take out the paper gently and after all the paper are out of the tape I let it dry after it dry I stick it! Yea your way of making stickers are kinda better
