Why Choose the PixCut S1 for Sticker Printing?
- Compact design fits any workspace.
- Supports dye‑sublimation printing for vibrant colors.
- Creates a clear protective coating that resists water, mild scratches, and wear.
The Dye‑Sublimation Process Explained
The process is built in three color layers: a yellow layer, a magenta layer, and finally a cyan layer. After the image is built, the printer laminates the paper with a clear protective coating, making the final product durable enough for water bottles, electronics, and other everyday surfaces.
Step‑by‑Step Guide to Making Your Own Stickers
- Prepare your design in the Liene app – add photos, stock images, text, or graphic elements.
- Select the PixCut S1 as your printer and choose the dye‑sublimation mode.
- Print the image; the printer will automatically apply the protective coating.
- Cut the stickers to size or use pre‑cut templates.
- Apply to your chosen surface – they stay vibrant and resistant to moisture.
