Man everybody in the comments big mad about the price of the 100 sheets of sticker paper. You guys do realize online a roll of 100 labels / stickers is $100? If i can put 6 of my business labels on each page i can have over 600! It’s sooo much more affordable!!! Thanks for the video.

People are getting mad about that?! For the gloss sheet of paper right now It's only 55 cents a sheet not including tax! Even if you only put one eight inch sticker on there, that is still much cheaper than buying stickers from someone online! My only problem is that I am not good with cutting and placing images right so that part of it doesn't get cut out. I always mess up when it comes to cutting and placing images. I wish that there was a way to tell before printing if part of an image would get cut out. Actually, this Isn't vinyl paper, so is this paper good for making stickers that you would place on surfaces like a phone, laptop, car, etc?

@tephwilliams 3 жыл бұрын

Awesome video, thanks! I just want to add that it's possible the sticker won't be waterproof if you use an inkjet printer, it's going to depend on the ink your printer uses as they are all different. Buying "weatherproof" sticker paper will help with this, but it still might not make it 100% waterproof without laminating it, so make sure to run some tests before assuming your stickers are waterproof.

@samk8005 2 жыл бұрын

This is a super important comment. I got to the end of the video and I was so confused - your stickers are not going to be waterproof just from printing on top of something that's waterproof.

You can use a Cricut or Silhouette Cameo cutting machine to also cut out the stickers shapes, don't know if you have one of those but thats how a lot of people are making their stickers at home n it can cut out any shape sticker because you adjust it in the software on your computer. I'm buying a Cameo 4 this week and will use it to make stickers. I don't have an answer about Kinkos tho, we don't have those where i live

I forget if I asked this, and can't find my comment, but how do you place your images correctly so that when they print none of the images get cut off or go over onto another sticker? There has to be an easier way than what I'm doing. Shrinking images multiple times until I get the size that I want and all the same size, and having all of them pasted together on a blank image, then test printing on normal paper to see if everything lines up right. Is there a tool or program that makes it easy or easier to have your images lined up right? A way to see how they'll print out before printing?

@alexanderb.9872 3 жыл бұрын

You're thinking of CMYK ink stickers chief. Different industry and expensive machinery at that but a good payoff if you're trying to make way in this market. One way of making similar slaps is to purchase the white matte paper and layering it with laminate. You can cut it by hand or one of those paper cutting thingies you can buy at walmart. It'll last long enough but inkjet inks fade after a while in the sun. CMYK are more resistant but eventually fade too after a little bit longer.
