| sticker stuff?
Can anyone recomend a good sticker paper that you can print your own stickers. I want to make some stick wraps for some body panels. I think it needs to be vinal sticker so I can get air bubbles out. Thanks |

If you can't get it to work you should try: http://www.callie-graphics.com/ She does amazing work and her stuff holds up really well! She also has very reasonable prices. |

Ink jet printer stuff is fine but the ink will not hold up well. I would contact bowtie if you have s graphic made. or freq e tag or krawler koncepts for some custom stuff. I think the results in the end are worth the money. better than throwing away money for something that will not last ir come out well. | |

Callie is top notch. I have not gotten Bowtie to do any custom stuff but have gotten his tacoma pack, warn pack & instrument dials and all are very good quality for the money. I've used this vendor for viynl sticker paper. the page has some important info like ink jet vs. laser jet. and inks to use for ink jets. I've used these for stickers and my only complaint is that they are a little thick, the paper that is. I use them mainly for signs in my RC ORV park. I've had them out in the weather all summer long & they have held up great. plus you can order by the sheet, which is nice. if you can get access to a laser jet, I would reccomend it. they use toner & heat vs. ink jet which sprays liquid ink. Also, most printers do not print white, so anything white on your image will not come through if you use clear paper. http://www.cistamps.com/sticker_paper.htm |

I'm always happy to support local vendors and Bowtie's work is excellent, but Callie is my sister so I'll always recommend her first!
