Also, I've found the cricut printable vinyl to be of better quality than the expressions as well as a better price point when getting off Amazon for around $10 for 10 sheets and pairing them with my 50 count single side premium gloss laminate sheets. Overall it's been a better price per sheet completed and better quality. I have the expressions set as well but I did not favor it as much as what I now use.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07028905715967774487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021963321489275438.post-8179338243722273032017-10-25T09:44:32.265-04:002017-10-25T09:44:32.265-04:00Thank you Lauren for the clarifications on the pri...Thank you Lauren for the clarifications on the printable and laminate vinyls. With so many choices it is tough to determine which product to utilize. <br />I'm going to try using the Oracal 651 transparent vinyl over my printable vinyl to see if it provides the necessary durability (unfortunately I had already purchased a roll of this so I'm sort of committed). It seems to have a nice finish but time will tell if it is durable enough.Kristinhttp://mezelmods.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021963321489275438.post-15426642433835505332017-10-05T11:41:40.392-04:002017-10-05T11:41:40.392-04:00I've been doing some reading into using printa...I've been doing some reading into using printable vinyl on outdoor applications, and I wanted to add my two cents for everyone who seems confused about what to buy. I don't think it matters what type of printable vinyl you use for your designs. Cricut, Silhouette... it's all relatively similar. It seems that the author's intention is not to tell you about a particular kind of printable vinyl, but to share information and a link to the actual laminate she buys to apply over the vinyl after printing.<br /><br />Oracal makes a product called ORAGUARD that is essentially a strong laminate film that you apply over your design to protect it from UV damage, water and fading. Sign shops and decal stores use it to protect their outdoor stickers/decals. <br /><br />If you are printing on vinyl and planning on doing anything with your design, you need to protect it. If you search for Oracal ORAGUARD products, you will only find it sold in large rolls. The company she has a link to, Expressions Vinyl, will actually sell you this Oracal vinyl by the sheet in two finishes, economy (matte finish) or premium (gloss finish). Aside from one Etsy seller I found on a Google Shopping Search, who you can message to sell you this ORAGUARD by the sheet, you are not going to find this laminate vinyl by the sheet online.<br /><br />Anytime I use printable vinyl for any design that involves complicated cutting or has an outdoor, glassware or decal application (basically anything but a simple paper sticker) I always use laminate vinyl. It protects the paper finish on the printable vinyl from fading and water. Personally, I'm an Amazon Prime addict, but I order the laminate from Expressions Vinyl, simply because its the only place I can find it in small quantities. No luck on sheets from Amazon or any other vinyl stores.<br /><br />One last thing based on other questions above, my understanding is that you must use an ink-jet printer for printable vinyl. I don't think that there is such a thing as printable vinyl for laser printers. I haven't researched this much, but I did not have much success with my own laser printer. The design did not print well on the vinyl (odd colors, but did just fine on regular paper) and my Cricut could not read it to cut the design.
