IT WASP ME ALL *BZZT* ALONG!


I've been printing stickers for a while now on an ink tank type inkjet printer and buying the special vinyl printer sheets off AliEx and I'm happy about the costs.

Bonus stickers too! I'm gonna be a menace with these. Thank you so much!

E: my material costs come to about $0.4 to 1$ per A4 sheet of stickers, depending on the type of sheet- the fancy holographic ones cost more.

A loose female acquaintance of mine calls me at 1:00am today and asks me if I could print something on the computer for her and bring it over in the afternoon. "Hey yeah sure sure, whatever you need I'll help you, I'm all yours," I tell her. She sends me this file and lo and behold I can't open it. It's made in Microsoft Publisher and I don't have that program so I begin panicing, trying to find this program or a way to print the file. Scouring the internet yields no results and I do my usual pacing in my room.

I finally come up with an idea and I tell the girl, if I can proceed with it. The plan was I would carry my printer about 2miles to her house, print out the needed pages, maybe talk to her a bit while I was there. I was hoping for at least a hug out of this ordeal.

By the time I get there, I'm wet all over from sweating in the +90 degree heat outside and carrying a heavy motherfucking HP Deskjet printer. The first thing I see upon entering her room (my first time in a girl's bedroom) are some panties on her bed.

After the initial shock of seeing such a horrific sight for the first time, I setup the printer and get my job done. However, I did consider sniffing the lingere when she left the room once, but with the wuss that I am, I just ended up staring at them the whole while. That was a sarcastic joke for those of you too stupid to realize that

To make a long story short, just as I was finishing up with the printing job (which was hefty), her boyfriend and his gay friend walk in, say hello, and begin hanging out in the room as they waited for the girl to finish this work so they could go to the mall.

This effectively ruins my chances of getting a hug and I walk another 2 miles home with the motherfucking printer in hand. The only thing that I got out of this were some very painful fingers and a "thanks" as I walked out her bedroom door.

So, am I pathetic for doing all these things? It wouldn't be the first time I've pledged my heart and soul to a girl and gotten back almost nothing in return. I would hate turning her or anyone else I knew down or making up some lie.

Don't suppose you could recommend a decent ink tank inkjet printer? What's that cost, a couple hundred clams?

I got a Pixma g540 for about 200$ and still haven't drained a single color tank (20$ per refill bottle) but I can't compare it to anything else since it's my first ink tank.
It absolutely beats my previous cartridge printers+ 3rd party ink since those died quick.

You can get sticker paper for your normal printer and just print on that. You'd have to cut it out yourself unless you buy a machine to cut it for you.

I think just "cutting machine". A couple brands I know are cricut and silhouette.

Cutting plotter (big commercial ones like graphtec or retail ones like crikcut)

Much more important is what media (material) and ink technology you're using for printing

Do you want stickers to be very very temporary? Removable? Outdoor?

It might well be cheaper to order them online for small or medium volume
