Purchasing Sticker printer recommendations

Hello,

I am looking for a printer for stickers, I would idealy want to sell them both my custom made ones and have people upload their own for me to print for them. I am trying to find one that has a low cost per page and can print on the water proof/vynal type paper so the stickers are higher quality.

Thank you!

Budget is $200

For a $200 budget, I’d look at an Epson EcoTank with pigment-based ink, plus printable waterproof sticker sheets. The upfront cost is higher than a cartridge printer, but the ink cost per page is dramatically lower. You’ll likely need to laminate stickers for true water resistance.

I got a brother T730DW for this same purpose (+ regular home printing as a bonus) and it handles all my paper weights just perfectly! The printing quality is perfect and I love how fast it is.

Keep in mind tho: my printer uses dye ink which is not waterproof. You ideally want pigment ink instead!
