Hi Alex, sorry I havnt got back to you in time for Barnsley but I have been very busy with my new job.
There is no point in trying with clear sticky film or paper as computer printer inks are semi-transparent. Professional print shops would be able to do that but not your inkjet, bubblejet or laser printer attached to your home computer. Also white ink is impossible to come by :wink:
If you saw Pain in the Asp at Barnsley - the snake and lettering were done on white self-adhesive glossy photo paper which is cut out by hand. The trick is to design anything so that it is large enough and doesnt need intricate cutting. Thick lettering is much better than fancy lettering and the less number of pieces the better. Another method I use is to print on coated film for inkjet printers but again this is not clear but has a gold or silver base colour.
I have looked on PC Worlds website and they dont do any self-adhesive paper - neither do WH Smith, Staples or Cartridge World for that matter. The only place I have found any is on Ebay
