Many companies say that their printable vinyl is completely waterproof and it doesn’t need any kind of sealer as long as you use uv inks. And vinyl is a water-resistant material. Hi Sherry! Sorry I missed this question! I was just typing that I had never gotten bubbles when I think I remember that actually happening one time. I don’t recall why though, so I did just do a little digging and found an article that said bubbles happen if the ink isn’t dry and the temperature on the laminator is too high. So you were right! It suggested you make sure it is on the 3 ml if that’s an option because that will be a lower temp than the 5 ml.

Straight up-> you NEED to follow safety precautions (which may include purchasing personal safety equipment) Tips- Again, make sure your surface is clean before you laminate as it is a permanent application. Wait until the machine is ready to use before laminating, or you’ll get inconsistent areas that appear wavy. And I feel like it’s worth it to get a machine with auto shut-off and two rollers. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

My son is in his last year of high school and has done theater. So I’m totally sympathetic to how much time and memories you must have and how important that token is! Let me know if I can help at all, or if you have any more questions about it. However, when I tested printable vinyl with multiple washes, I found that even with printable vinyl, the ink can run. Because these are meant as lamination they are bigger than needed which makes application less stressful Oh my gosh. I can’t believe I missed this. So it should work since you’re using Printable vinyl, I have heard that it works best with the Zicoto printable vinyl though so that’s what I use and recommend. Hope this helps!
