Printer Settings For Vinyl Sticker Paper

This has been my favorite vinyl paper for sticker making!

I had been printing shipping labels on sticker paper, which would never line up to the top edge, so I had to cut them out of the middle of the paper. It was a pain and a waste. Now I press print and the QL-1100 is all like, "I got this" and shoots it out in two seconds. It was super easy for me to set it up. I have a Dell computer. I'm not technically savvy and it was a snap. I love, love, love this printer. I had been on the fence about buying a thermal printer, and I'm kicking myself for waiting this long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little printer is a great device for printing joyful memories at home, right from the party or event and share with your friends. The quality and color of the images are superb. It only takes few seconds to print and the printer application is super easy and convenient to use. It even has a lot of cute sticker and fun frame options that you can design your photos with. The package came with two beautiful photo albums and printing paper and another kind of sticker paper. It’s amazing to see how the printer transfers color without using any ink cartridges. It makes it more convenient to use, all you need is to order ink infused paper from their app and you are ready to go. The printer is very smooth, fast and low sound while printing. The battery lasts about 2 hours, which I would say is enough for a little device to print about 20 images in that amount of time. I love that I can print my own photos at home, and love how comfortable and fun the whole experience is with Canon. This is my new favorite personal printer! Everyone should have one.

I've been struggling for years trying to find the right combination of printer, paper, print settings and ICC profiles to create prints that I would consider exhibition quality. Now that I have my workflow tweaked, I am producing 16x20 prints that my clients consider museum quality. There is something very special about the surface of the Epson Exhibition Fiber Paper that immediately evokes a high quality and special feel response. Not quite glossy and certainly not matte, the surface has an unmistakable fine art feel to it, but it does require adhering to a consistent workflow. The paper is not one of the printer default standards bundled with the operating system. I print with the Epson 3800, using a Mac, and downloaded ICC profiles from Epson specifically for this paper (it comes up as SP 3800 EFP_PK2880). In the printer dialog box check Let Photoshop Decide Colors and then select the appropriate ICC profile. In the printer settings box in the print driver, choose Ultra Premium Photo Paper Lustre and set reproduction at 2880x1440. This is critical since there is no setting for Exhibition Fiber Paper and this selection tells the printer to select Glossy Black ink. I have also found the best results with a 360 dpi setting when sizing the prints and also found that nik's Sharpener Pro 3.0 gave just the right amount of sharpening, even to continuous tone areas with smooth bokeh. The paper is expensive and requires a craftsman-like approach but it rewards the diligent.

Great paper. Especially useful if used with a canon printer which has a program that specifically has the settings for this paper

Vinyl backgrounds are so much more durable than paper backdrops. The y can be cleaned easily and don't crease or tear like paper. I have had a white vinyl backdrop for three years now, and it still cleans up as good as new with a Clorox Wipe. The vinyl backdrops have a distinct odor when you first unwrap them. The smell takes a week or so to wear off. Also be prepared with heavy duty stands or mounting hardware - they are heavy. I use mine with Manfrotto wall mounts hung from a ceiling.

Shipped right away as sold. WIsh it would have come with printable sticker paper though

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an advanced printer with loaded features. It has large touch screen that makes changing settings a breeze. It can print both sides of paper and has ADF when scanning bunch of paper documents. There is tray on the bottom and another tray that opens up to allow you to print on longer paper. I print mostly using AirPrint, it is so effortless to print with this printer. Once it is set up and connected it prints surprisingly fast. I am very happy with the print quality in both documents and color prints. What also surprised me is that my lights no longer flicker when printing. With my old laser printer, everytime I printed something the lights in the room flickered. I suspected it is due to large power draw of the printer. However this printer does not have this problem at all, which is fantastic. There were couple of hiccups when first setting up though. First the AirPrint did not work at first. This was fixed by doing printer firmware update and restarting. Once I updated I never had problem doing AirPrint. The other issue was when changing few settings it requires an admin pin. This PIN number is sitting on the toner tray that slides out. I spent maybe 10minutes trying to figure out what the pin was. The manual kind of mentions where it is, but the pin was not there, rather it was on a tray that slides out. It’s a small annoyance and was a one time issue, but wish it was better. Overall I am very happy with this printer, I hope it lasts a long time.

I use this paper for professional quality prints as a student for my portfolio work. As long as all the printer settings are correct, this paper gives excellent prints. It even has a tiny bit of tooth which allows post-print work to be done.

Solid device. Easy set-up. Quality is very good. Enjoy versatility of different size papers up to A3. Use with Canon Professional Print and Layout. Manual was disappointing - was skimpy on details and not well written. Software overall easy to use but has settings without clear instructions on impact of these on print. Overall, wish there was more detailed and instructional information available on use of printer, use of software, use of settings for ink (e.g., when should fine be used?), etc, rather than learning by doing. Ink use has been moderate (wish it had mega-tank instead of cartridges). Found Canon option to have pictures on different paper types printed by PROGRAFF Canon printer sent to me - very helpful to direct choice of paper for different types of pictures but lacked any written information. U-tube somewhat helpful but no where as much detail as on use of cameras, for example. Happy I bought it and enjoy using it.
