When cutting them, I prefer to leave the Papillon Image whole with the background as seen below. Batch Method — I like to batch my stickers because it saves on sticker material. But you need to practice the process because it is a little tricky to leave just enough space between the images.
Once you roll the first image through stop rolling as you see the bottom start to disappear. That is the perfect time to line up the next image as shown below. Here is what it looks like when completed.

Which Xyron to Choose? When deciding which size Xyron to purchase, first consider the maximum anticipated size you'd likely process. If you never use 12 by 12 or 11 by 17 paper, the Xyron is your best choice. No need to use the Xyron unless you anticipate using the larger size items such as menu size paper 11"X17". You could even make a banner size sticker. Or magnet, or laminate. For the kids, or for smaller items, consider the Xyron model. It's very portable and does everything the larger Xyrons do, but only up to five inches wide.
While these only make stickers, they are the perfect low cost sticker machine for kids. Your artwork, photos, scrapbook items etc. Or, change the cartridge and you can safely laminate almost anything without heat! Try the magnet cartridge too.
