Thanks to a client that I support, I am in possession of a 
thermal-transfer vinyl printer and some heavy-duty supplies. 
A bit ago, a few people talked about gopher-related sticker 
designs (some printed examples are in this folder.) I 
offered to print and send example stickers to those 
interested.

I'm extending that offer to whoever wants to contact me and 
give up some of their anonymity (since I'll need a mailing 
address.) You'll end up with my address too, but you can 
already get that from my HAM callsign (KF7MIX), if you 
wanted to stalk me, so it doesn't matter. Rest assured that 
I have absolutely no interest in stalking you.

If you want a few gopher and/or geek stickers, here's what 
you need to know and do:

- The printer is monochrome. The resultant labels are 
  outdoor, chemical and scratch resistant, and rated for 
  years in direct sun.
- I can print up to 4" wide by any length (well, the rolls
  are 150' long.) However, for this project, I'd prefer a 
  max of 2" by about 6", so they will fit in a standard
  1-stamp envelope.
- I'm going to simply drop these in the mail gratis. That 
  means I can probably only send a maximum of about 4 
  stickers to be under the weight for a regular letter.
- I'll need a PNG (or WMF if you want) of your design, 
  monochrome. I'll do my best to make it look good; this
  printer is for industrial safety labeling, so it's not
  perfect, but it does OK. PNG resolution should be suitable
  for 300 DPI printing (higher is OK.)
- Large dark areas aren't necessarily going to turn out 
  well. They might, but it's harder for the printer.
- Very thin lines aren't necessarily going to turn out well.
  They might, but they're harder for the printer.
- I might change your design slightly to help it print 
  better. It's part of the charm of ordering free stuff on
  gopher.
- Keep your sticker designs clean, my kids might be looking
  over my shoulder.
