I don't know, what paper would you have to buy to print it yourself?

This is just one example......it needs to be clear paper, as you would set your printer to print 'Reverse' so that the design shows back to front....

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HIGH-DEF-CLEAR-A4-INKJET-STICKER-LABEL-PAPER-VINYL-Y-/130740037607?pt=UK_Computing_Printer_Paper_Accessories_ET&hash=item1e70b6a7e7

Going by the cost of that, the ridiculous cost of ink, plus the cost of "IF YOUR STICKERS ARE TO BE USED OUTDOORS IN CONSTANT DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMEND THAT YOU LAMINATE THE STICKER USING AN ACRYLIC CLEAR SPRAY LACQUER OR ACRYLIC VARNISH TO PREVENT FADING OF THE IMAGE, AS WITH ALL INKJET VINYL THE LENGTH OF TIME THE IMAGE LASTS IS DEPENDENT ON THE QUALITY OF THE INK USED IN THE PRINTER. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT INTENDED FOR LONG TERM OUTDOOR USE DUE TO THE BLEACHING EFFECT OF U.V. LIGHT ON THE INK."

Plus the wear and tear on someones printer. Surely it's better to get them professionally printed, hardly costs any more, in fact it seems about on par.

With the greatest respect though, I don't think your design is the one, a bit too fiddly, a clearer one that can be seen at a distance would be better. Not that I'm offering, graphic design isn't my forte.

As I said womble, that was just one example that I quickly found on e-bay because someone asked a question..............Obviously there are many other options available out there.....As far as the sticker I whacked up on here, that too, is just an example & was designed to see if anyone thought it was a good idea.........criticism is good.....at least it shows people are reading the thread & giving their input & suggestions.....that all helps.....as I also said, the idea was more intended as a promotional thing, not something that people would have to pay much for......Keep the ideas coming.

There is a much simpler way.......I designed the badge & sticker using Corel Draw, but it's probably available in Photo paint too...i haven't looked yet. Make the design, go to print preview & choose the option to 'mirror' print........this reverses the image.

The 'English' is in my above post sootie...............

Can you do it the other way round so I can just print it and sellotape it to my back window - pretty please

[Deleted]

someone had a mod covered with this aae-c thingy and i want one of them too!
i'd pay for a car window sticker

[chrisjw]

Well.......it doesn't cost me anything to sit here tinkering on my pc.........In fact, as a hobby, it gives me something to keep occupied with, which I enjoy....The only cost involved is putting these designs on the appropriate paper, but seeing as, at least for now, I'm e-mailing the design to whoever wants it, there is no financial outlay, just my time ( which I have a surplus of). However, it would be nice to get the design right, so if anyone has any input into what would improve it, please let me know. The whole idea of this is to promote vaping to the uneducated & broadcasting our forum can't be a bad thing either.

Bolder...............

[Chrissie]

Chris, I think I prefer the version in your opening post

Again, thanks so much for doing this

[chrisjw]

If anyone wants a car sticker, just p.m. me your e-mail address...........I think I may have sourced some decent adhesive paper to print them out on, but for now, all I can do is send the design for you to print off yourselves......If you prefer the bolder print in the pic above, I can send that.

Chris, I'm wondering if you may get even more interest if this thread is moved to either general Vaping or forum help? More than happy for it to stay in members only, but if you would like it moved, please let me know
