Is there a printable vinyl for stickers using a standard printer?

Hi folks,

Just a quickie, is there a printable vinyl around that I can bang through a standard a4 pigment printer or my ricoh 3110 sub printer that will give me a decent sticker, I can't afford a Roland at the minute so just thought id ask the question, if there is, can they be printed and cut through the cameo?

I suppose the main question is - What do you want to use the stickers for? i.e. Where will they be fitted?

The answer is probably no. Vinyl printers use heat to fuse the ink onto the vinyl and it is not the same ink that is used in other types of printer.

If you need a quantity then you can prepare the artwork including the cutting marks for your Cameo (no idea about that machine but assume it has some sort of alignment marks) and get it done by a trade print firm.

If you try and supply the wrong type of stickers for paying customers it is going to come back and bite you.

they were just for car bodywork and windows, i've heard there is printable vinyl that can be fired through inkjets on thin a4 sheets but I could be wrong so thought id ask the question.

Honestly, leave it alone.

Signmakers can knock those out very easily on the proper materials. If you try and do them they will come off with the first wash.

Get a local sign firm to make them for you and add a mark up.
