but i won't put a bumper sticker on my car's paint or plastic......will your machine handle a transparent film instead of a paper strip .... to do a window sticker?

You can flip the item face down so the adhesive side gets put on the face.

Ideally, you should use adhesive-only cartridges for that since you don't need the laminate, but I have plenty of 15 foot adhesive/laminate cartridges and only the small 'sample' adhesive-only cartridge that came with the 'kit' that I had to buy because Michaels didn't sell the ()*&)(*& machine by itself.

The adhesive is only slightly opaque and the laminate is clear, so if you make a sign on clear plastic it would work as a window sticker.

I'm keeping the sample cartridges, which include laminate/magnet laminate/perm adhesive, and adhesive-only to myself. I use the Adhesive-only for photos.

If we do this, I'll use Michaels %40 off coupons to restock and hope that they don't put the item on sale because the coupons do not apply to sale items.

BTW, bring extra copies of your work in case something goes wrong with the machine.

The cartridges available for the machine are:

Acid-Free Permanent Adhesive
Acid-Free Repositionable Adhesive
Laminate/Permanent Adhesive Combination
Laminate/Repositionable Adhesive Combination
Two-Sided Laminate
Laminate/Magnet Combination

If you want to go to Michaels and buy your own cartridge and bring it, you are welcome to use the machine. Cartridges are $18-25 and Michaels usally has the %40 off coupons available. So you could print out 15 feet of 5 inch bumper stickers or 30 feet of 2 1/2 inch bumper stickers for about $11.

BTW, if anyone has a sheet cutter, please bring it so that people can split or trim the stickers if they don't want 5 inch strips.
