Print Then Cut - Cutting Laminated Sticker Sheets

[mR_hAnKbOt]

I just wanted to see if people are still having issues cutting laminated sticker sheets so they will kiss cut the outline of the sticker and then fully cut the sticker out of the sheet with a separate offset cut?

I fought my H2C for a while, but I think I finally got it dialed to work fairly reliably for the task. I still want to do some tweaking to see if multi-pass cutting on the outline to cut the sticker out of the sheet makes the cut a little less rough, but the process works as is, and the rough cut is on the discarded edge of the sticker, so it’s not much of an issue.

So, is there any interest from the community for me to put together a detailed how-to on cutting out laminated stickers, or is the reason there isn’t much chatter because most people have already figured it out?

The sticker is kiss cut 1mm from the edge of the image, and then has a 4mm border and is cut out of the sheet using the Basic Cut.

You can imagine that cutting the stickers out this way has some advantages, like ease of peeling off the backer when you’re ready to apply it.

That’s really interesting. I am now experimenting with my own h2c and cutting tool, and custom sticker sets are next on my list. So it is interesting how you get reliable lamination. And would it work to weatherprooof the stickers (like stickers for the bike/car, as yours seems to be, my intent as well)?

…maybe combining with printing on special plastic sheets instead of paper and maybe using laser 2d printer for the image… just a thought.
