Printed Stickers versus Vinyl Cut Stickers

When you order custom stickers from The Art of Stickers, you get the choice of having it printed or vinyl cut, but which one is right for you? Well here’s a handy little guide to help you when getting custom stickers and decals made.

Sweetnys-cakes-vinyl-cut-decal If you aren’t trying for anything overly fancy, vinyl cut decals are for you. Vinyl cut decals are usually a single colour, or up to 3 colours when layered. This means vinyl cut decals tend to be more simplistic than printed decals, such as lettering and silhouettes. However, this does not mean that they cannot be intricate in design. For example, we have a leopard design available through our site here. Even without clicking the link, the word ‘leopard’ gives off the impression of intricacy, but this design was professionally produced specifically for vinyl cutting. Therefore, unless your intricate design is specifically made for vinyl cutting, it is unlikely we’d be able to produce your more intricate design as vinyl cut.

Sweetnys-cakes-printed-decalPrinted stickers are usually ordered by those who need something that 3 colours and under cannot cover. This is usually true for business logos and images that contain details such as gradients and complex patterns that cannot be replicated by a cutter alone. One instance could be if you need lettering, usually made as vinyl cut, but the letters are under 5mm high. Due to machinery not being the most delicate inventions, and vinyl not being the easiest material to work with when working smaller, this would be nearly impossible to produce. Instead, the letters would be printed onto vinyl with an outline larger than the letters themselves to ensure the cutter doesn’t tear them.

So to summarize:

Vinyl Cut:
-Lettering
-Simpler designs
-Can be layered up to 3 colours

Printed:
-Intricate designs
-Shading, gradient, complex patterns
-Small lettering and other details

If you’re still unsure where your design falls, you can always ask us when you send in your custom decal request email. We can’t wait to hear from you.

Custom Reverse Print Stickers

Custom-Reverse-printed-stickersReverse stickers are an amazing idea should you want to put your sticker on the inside of any clear surface, such as on the inside of your business window. This keeps the sticker safe from hands that are aiming to peel up your decals and wreck them, as well as protecting them from the elements. Making reverse print stickers is a tricky business, however, due to the sticky side also needing to be the side showing the image. With The Art of Stickers, you don’t have to worry about this as we have first hand experience in making and supplying these kinds of stickers to satisfied customers. Not only can we supply reverse print stickers, but we also use high quality European vinyl as well as one of the latest and greatest printers on the market to ensure the highest quality print possible.Custom-Reverse Printed-stickers-1

Large Format Printing

Large-Wide-Format-Printer-Printing

Large format printing (also known as wide format printing) has been dubbed one of the most popular up and coming revolutions in graphic technology. This innovative technology, as the name suggests, allows for products to be made on a much larger scale. Printers capable of printing on media with a width of between 45 centimeters and 2.5 meters are dubbed wide format printers, whilst a printers able to exceed 2.5 metres in printable width gain the classification of super-wide, or grand format. The technology to create prints of such sizes is quickly becoming more readily available as the technology progresses to become more efficient whilst still maintaining the same level of quality. Not only has progress been made in the size of printing recently, but also in the range of different inks available. These include Aqueous, water based inks, and Solvent, petroleum based inks, with the new-comer, Eco-Solve which is glycol ester based to be more friendly to the environment like Aqueous, whilst offering the waterproof result that Solvent inks provide. Why mention any of this? Well, at The Art of Stickers we offer large format printing up to 160 centimeters wide, and even larger in length, using the brilliantly crafted Eco-Solve inks that come in nine different colours, all with our state of the art Roland Soljet Pro4 XR-640 printer/cutter. We use this printer knowing we wanted to offer a broader range of services as well as cater to the ever growing demand for larger, and better quality prints. So when you order through us, know you’re getting some of the best quality printed products out there.
