Clear sticker printing

[Bbafett]

Does anyone have a good recommendation for printing designed stickers to go on legos?  Looking for some decent sticker paper that will print on a regular home printer.

This would probably be better in the Customisation Forum. Amazon is probably a good place to start for both sticker paper and clear decal paper. A regular home printer will be inkjet though and might need a coat of something to seal it in case it gets wet.

You are right about this needing to be in a different forum.  I always go to the Star War forum and didn't even think before this to it.  If a moderator can move it that would be good.  Thx.

Problem with transparent is that one will often still need to print a backing, that is why more professional printers will allow to print white first. That is how I do it, but not with a desktop printer then of course although Roland does also have desktop size models that support white inks.

Clear stickers can be more challenging depending the color combinations of what's printed on the sticker and the LEGO color.  Red on clear stuck on yellow LEGO, looks ok.  Light yellow on clear stuck on black LEGO, can't see the yellow.  Not having a printer that can print white can limit some combinations. To work around, I used white Avery mailing labels and cut to shape with an X-Acto knife like the Imperial Crest.  Or try to print the LEGO background color on the white sticker to match.  Some times, you just have to experiment to see what works and doesn't.  You can also outsource the printing if your budget permits.
