I ordered my stickers from a website called Stickerapp, it's very convenient and not too pricey!

I go to vograce and stickersapp. Vograce stickers print a little dark tho, and with both you can only order in wholesale

I go to printing stores, as they got way better printers and it's cheaper than doing it at home. If you find a good local one, it can be like 1'5€ an A3, and you can fit so many stickers in there. Then you'll have to cut them manually which is the worst part but we... haha patience! πŸ’•

Oh P.S. photo printers are usually called "inkjet photo printers" and that may help you narrow your selection

The thing about making stickers is that a lot of the time, it is more economical to outsource to a printing company like StickerApp or Sticker Mule. Depends on the kinds of stickers you want to make/sell.

Photo printers work best for sticker printing. Make sure it can print at at least 300 dpi (this info can be found in a Specifications section). Decent photo printers can be upwards of $200. Sticker/adhesive paper is pretty easy to find, just look it up.
The hardest things about stickers is cutting them. If you want to make sheets then you need to kiss-cut them (that means only cutting the front part of the sheet so they stay on the sheet) and that requires a tool like a Cricut or a Silhouette machine.
