Bit of a weird request, but you never know on farkin.
I'm chasing glossy photo paper, where the back side of the photo is like a sticker. So it has a film over it, that you can peel off.
I tryed google, eBay, local computer stores, but no luck.
If anyone has any idea it would be great!

Thank you!
Exactly what I was after, and 10 times the prices I wanted :eek:
$65 for 25 sheets, thats like $2.50 a sheet! I hope this works.
Anyone know where to find smaller/cheaper packs?

WTF i just clicked on the link and it took me to the homepage. Search 'Photo Paper' and go to the last page[Page 6].

Funnily enough just last night I was looking at japanese sticker photo booths for a pisstake.
Don't bother printing them unless you have enough stars, hearts and glitter to fill every spare space on the pictures.

I gathered something went wrong with the link, but I searched that site until I found what I guess you also found.
I'm still shocked at over $2.50 a piece.
EDIT: Nope, that phix-it stuff is different to what I found. I was looking at glossy paper labels. Anyway, looks good (well actually just cheaper, but its the same thing, good -> cheaper, in this case anyway).
Just unsure how sticky it will be, says you can move it around and what not.

I was after the same thing last year to put a brand on a bike i had come up with for yr12 DT. From what i could find at office works they didnt sell what i wanted.
They only sold clear plasticy paper or sticky paper. I wanted white parts so I ended up printing onto sticky paper and then putting clear sticky paper over the top to protect it and make it shiny.
What are you sticking them on? Spray adhesive (bought from art supplies store) might do the job for you, that way you can print out photos for 50c at the self-serve machines.

Going onto powdercoat.
I have a photo printed so I got that part sorted.
I was hoping sticky photo paper + 3M protective shit over the top would be the go. Spose spray adhesive is cheap/easy to try.
If you're planning on using a protective film over the top then the spray adhesive should be more than ample - it won't damage the finish and is pretty easy to clean up after removal.
You could even be bodgy and use superglue/similar but that won't be much fun when you want to change graphics.

Officeworks definitely has it in store, $30 for 10 A4 sheets. Picked some up just last week, before a night out ;)

That's the thing... what on earth do you do illegally with paper?
EDIT: Stencils??
