Inkscape Stickers

Note: we order sticker sheets from Ali Express and you pay about $25 for 100 sheets. Be aware of the size as you need A4 (210x297mm) otherwise you have issues with the printer. They also print better on white matte or gloss rather than clear.

Stickers

Inscape is an excellent tool for making stickers due to the ease at which images can be drawn up or traced. In the Digital Technology we have access to sticker paper that we can print out your images onto.

How to Print

Save your project as a .pdf

In the Save As (Shift+Ctrl+S) menu save your drawings as a .pdf. This will prevent it from being distorted or moved when it is printed.

Load sticker paper into the X Block printer

Load tray 5 on the side of the printer with sticker paper with the printing side down.


If using the D16 or A11 printer put the paper printing side up.

Set up the print settings

Select the printer in X Block from the drop down menu. In the Properties button change the paper options to take paper from the Tray 5 Bypass.

  • If you are using white label sticker paper use the Type > Plain paper settings.

  • If you are using transparent sticker paper then select the Type > Transparency. This will heat up the paper as it is printing and make sure the ink sticks.

Check the other setting make sense. Then print!
