Anyone ever use clear inkjet sticker paper for artwork?

[Stobe]

You know what I'm talking about, right?  The inkjet sticker stuff you can get at office depot and cut to size.

I know its not the highest quality, but I was wondering if anyone had ever used it, and how it came out.

The only reason I was thinking of it is because I don't need a lot of side art.  I have it painted the color I want.  And the only logo I would put on the sides is irregularly shaped, so I thought a transparent adhesive material would be better than a vinyl sticker or something.

My concern is that it might (will) look cheap.

Comments?

Thanks,

Doesn't work out. (If we're talking about the same product).

I got what I thought would be clear sticker paper, with the intention of printing black type and images on. Like labels almost. Well the paper isn't really clear. It's kind of frosted. The printing on it isn't as dark as expected and it also rubbed off really easily. (Maybe I need to wait a long time or bake it or something, I dunno).

There is an inkjet product for making iron on transfers for dark coloured t-shirts.
I have used it to make transfers (from scanned comic book covers) and ironed them on to black t-shirts and then washed them many times after spilling curry/beer etc down them and the colours are still bright.  I have often wondered how well it would stand up ironed onto a cabinet, the ink certainly wouldn't rub off.

The "clear" on the iron on transfers isn't really clear either like RayB was sayin.

I wouldn't suggest using the stuff.

If you want to do it on the cheap and try it out though, you might try using a clear poly coat over the top of it to protect it.

I've tried this, with mixed results. It was as RayB said. Although I like the idea of clear poly coat on top. That might make it look better. I made a few "stickers" from images I grabbed from the web. They didn't look too bad, although they were really pix-elated but that had nothing to do with the material. Try it out with some small stuff and see how you like it. I'm thinking the background color of the cab might help out on how much the "frostiness" shows through. I might mess with this some more.
