Cricut Sticker Paper

AskingBard93116 — Sun, 27 Mar 2022 06:53:08 GMT

Okay, I have a TR4520 Canon printer and have loved it. I just recently got a Cricut Explore Air 2 for the sole purpose of printing stickers. I purchased the white Cricut sticker paper, and so far have not had a successful print with my printer. I believe I should use different settings but what settings?

TR4520; Windows 10; using Design Space, also tried printing from Adobe PDF (to be able to change paper type), yet the paper got stuck, and printer continued to pint...

I also tried the clear sticker paper, but the printer was not able to grab hold of it to feed into the printer.

Will I need to purchase another brand printer? I'm loathe to do so, as this printer has been really great till now.

I don't use that media, but I have read that some folks will tape a few inch long piece of copy paper to the leading edge of the sticker paper to give the printer something more substantial to grab on to.

The white Cricut sticker paper is thick enough to be feed through, but gets jammed.

Thanks for the tip on how to (maybe) get the clear sticker paper through. Will have to do some experimenting to see if it works.
