Title: An evening of boredom, homeprinted vinyl stickers
Post by: SteffanLangholz on December 21, 2015, 09:34:12 PM: Well

Enthused by @nickpain77 and the logo from Blenheim cricket I thought i might just dress up my max grainer.

Spend a couple of hours with paint.net, wanted it to be stylish, but over the top. Bought some sticky laminate at 80p a pop and tossed it tru my laserprinter.

Results are fun - but the printer is obviously for documents, not stickers..

But a few design changes needed

I use a regular laser printer and sticky vinyl. But yes, I think it has to be printable for either inkjet or laser. Then to protect the color, I add another clear vinyl on top.

Well, no one overhere does it.. So I'm branding it to maybe get a bit casual business going.
