PPD Inkjet Creative Media Matte Self Adhesive Vinyl Sticker Paper 8.5x11

Bought these after lots of research on vinyl paper, and couldn't be more impressed with their performance! We are a small soap company that uses this sticker paper on an Epson ET-8550 printer, with absolutely fantastic results! Zero payment or kickbacks for this review! We actually stopped buying stickers because the price per sheet is so much cheaper, and clarity is brilliant. Completely waterproof, smear-proof, even on liquid soap bottles! Think bumper-sticker strength, these stick so well to our products. Worth your money!

I have a son with autism and is very into digital art. We wanted to try out different papers before investing in a cricut machine. This paper did not disappoint. It does not look like vynil on the printable side but once you peel it off you see it is. It is very strong and truly tear resistant.It adheres better on smooth surfaces. Tried to stick it on a painted cement wall and it did not do too well. Overall a very good product. Would definitely buy again.

I use these to make stickers for my business & they’re my fav brand. I’ve had some issues with them over the years but I think it was just a bad batch . A few orders of these had tiny black dots on the paper & so it would ruin a few stickers per page. I haven’t had that issue in awhile tho !

I'm printing on an Epson ET-2550, which uses pigment based inks. Let me start by saying I've been testing a lot of papers for a very specific purpose in printing my own trading card game, and for this process, I need an adhesive paper and a paper that can print on both sides. At least one side needs to be a high quality print. I have also been looking for a very specific feature of being able to easily slide cards against each other without having to do anything extra to them to make that happen, but understandably, no paper is ever going to tell me whether it can do that before I try it. I figured I would try this in hopes that with it being vinyl it might be more slippery and slide against other papers better while printing with the high quality for one side that I need. The print quality is good, certainly better than regular paper, but maybe not quite as good as other photo papers. You can see the vinyl sticker on the left compared to PPD's canvas textured photo paper on the right in my attached photo. The colors and black looks slightly faded in the vinyl sticker in comparison. Ignore the weird black lines that appear out of alignment, one of the printer's nozzles was messing up, so that had nothing to do with the paper. I tested the water resistance by getting my finger wet and gently rubbing the corner of the card a few times. You can see the bottom right corner of the vinyl sticker smudged a bit, so it was less water resistant than expected, especially considering the pigment inks from my printer should be more water resistant. I have produced more water resistant prints on other papers where I have seen others say water washed the ink nearly completely off. So perhaps this product is somehow formulated to be more water resistant with dye based inks rather than pigment based inks. Lastly, in case anyone else out there is looking for sticker paper for making playing card games, my cards using these vinyl stickers did not slide against each other any better than most regular paper. My current method for making them work is rubbing them for a few seconds with the wax paper backing removed from sticker paper, which worked just as well with this product, though I'm not sure if I used its own backing or one of the others I had laying around. In conclusion, I would say this product mostly does what it says it does, and if you are looking for a matte adhesive paper that prints with close to photo paper quality, this could work for you. It just wasn't quite perfect for my project. It's also a bit expensive for my project since I could more or less achieve the same quality of card at a lower cost by using a cheaper matte photo paper for the front with a low quality sticker paper for the back. I'm sure I can use it for some other project though.

This is the only sticker paper I have used and will be using going forward. This is my second purchase. Colors are vibrant and it cuts easily. I use the sticker function on my cricut and use the sticker paper transparent holographic setting for die cuts. I will say, idk if it’s full blown waterproof (haven’t tested over regular use on a tumbler for example) but it is definitely water resistant. I’ve ran it under water multiple times and nothing happens. In my video there is no laminate on top and you can see the ink is not going anywhere. I use an Epson printer. Love it!

The print quality of this paper is really poor. The contrast is weak and the colors are just off, even when using the recommended settings. The coating also seems to flake off when scratched, which looks terrible. It also means it doesn't cut super well in a cutting machine.

I absolutely love this sticker paper. I have purchased 3 packages so far and I plan to buy much more. The stickers come out vibrant. The ink dries immediately. I laminate my stickers so I don’t know if this material is waterproof. But I love using this to make stickers for my Etsy shop.

I purchased 4 kinds of printable vinyl to find the right one. This one was recommended by various crafters, so I got it. First try, the printer got jammed. Second try, it took a few goes, but eventually printed. It printed with so many lines, and looked faded. The cheaper products worked far better, both in the compatibility with the printer (I use an HP Envy 6000 series), and the print quality. One positive, is the Cricut did cut them very well. I may try adjusting settings to get it to work better when I run out of my other printable vinyl, but I am not spending any time on it right now, since I have various other products that did not give me so much trouble!
