Scope of Application

This process is used to produce waterproof transparent stickers, such as phone-case decals, notebook decorations, and other clear stickers that can be applied to a variety of surfaces.

Working Principle

Film A has a high-adhesion surface. After being laminated with Film B, it lifts the printed pattern and adhesive layer together, completing the transfer.

Operating Steps

1. Prepare Film A
        Tear off the protective layer of Film A to expose its adhesive surface.
   

2. UV printing on Film A
          In Ink Mode, select Sticker.

• • Sticker Mode cannot be used together with other print modes.

  • All elements in the print job must be set to Sticker before sending it for printing.

3. Install and Preheat Film B
Install Film B on the laminating machine and complete the preheating    process.

Please refer to the article and video of the Laminator Usage Guide.

4. Laminate the Films
          Insert the printed Film A into the inlet of the laminating machine. The film will feed automatically.

5. Trim the Stickers
         After lamination is finished, use a cutter to trim the sheet to the required sticker size.

6. Peel and Transfer

Tear off Film B. The printed pattern will separate from Film A and adhere to Film B.

7. Apply the Sticker

Attach the design from Film B to the target surface, press it firmly, and then remove Film B to leave the sticker in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: The status light flashes red during startup or lamination.

• This indicates the device has entered protection mode.

• If the preheat light also flashes red, the roller may be overheating. Turn off the machine and restart after it has cooled naturally.

• If a film jam occurs:

• Press Forward to eject the film.

• Open the baffle.

• Remove the jammed Film B.

• Restart the device.

Q2: The status light flashes red when Film A is inserted before self-test completes.

• After powering on, the machine will perform an automatic self-check. Wait for the beep prompt before operation.

• If the sensor is blocked during self-check, the device may misidentify it as an error and enter protection mode. Recover using the steps described in Q1.

Q3: The pattern does not fully transfer after peeling Film B.

Possible causes:

• Films A and B were installed in the wrong orientation, or printing direction was incorrect.

Lamination pressure or contact was insufficient.

•  Check that:

• The printing surface is the adhesive side on the back of Film A.

• The film combination is correct.

• Lamination pressure and duration are adequate.

Q4: The gold/silver stamping transfer is incomplete or contaminated.

• If the transfer is incomplete or the edges are damaged:

• Confirm that Soft White Ink printing is complete.

• Extend hot-pressing time if necessary.

• Peel the film only after it has cooled completely.

• If metallic adhesion appears in non-patterned areas:

• Check that white-ink output is normal and that the pattern edges are clean.

• Perform a nozzle test if needed.
