I ordered a variety of sticker rolls from DHL. Here's details on some of the options, for your reference: A - USA Shipment Stickers (1 roll = 1000pc) 7.7 x 3.8 cm No backing paper, stickers directly on each other on roll B - Return Cheque Stickers (1 roll = 250pc) 7.7 x 3.8 cm No backing paper, stickers directly on each other on roll C - Saturday Delivery Stickers (1 roll = 1000pc) 7.7 x 3.8 cm No backing paper, stickers directly on each other on roll D - DHL Express Stickers (1 roll = 1000pc) 7.7 x 3.8 cm No backing paper, stickers directly on each other on roll E - International Stickers (1 roll = 1000pc) 7.7 x 3.8 cm No backing paper, stickers directly on each other on roll F - 9AM Express Stickers (1 roll = 250pc) 10.1 x 9.6 cm No backing paper, stickers directly on each other on roll G - Dangerous Goods Stickers/"Do Not Ship Via Air" (1 roll = 100pc) 7.5 x 7.5 cm Backing paper Obviously, of these options, the Dangerous Goods stickers are best, since they're the only ones with backing paper. All the stickers have some laminate to the surface, none are flat paper. If anyone else who orders DHLs can document theirs as well, it'd be helpful, thanks.

Any advice on which DHL stickers are best? I was told to try the WebShip ones, so I ordered 500 of the only option with WebShip in the name, and now I have 500 ziploc bags with adhesive backing. Not exactly what I was hoping for.

Before you pump it the first time to saturate the nib, take it out, poke with a pin a bunch of times, squish and smush it around, etc. to soften it up, then it'll fatten out after you write with it a few times.

COTL (COATL)

COATL Yeah, I know I forgot a bit of 3D on the L, but taking out/putting away the camera takes too long. The 3D ended up emphasizing how the letters were a little unbalanced, too.

Thank you, much appreciated. I'll try to post some more, most of those were the result of making good copies of a the best of a couple weeks worth pencil sketches yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, I don't have any decent markers for colouring, so it's going to stay pretty much black/white.

The only feedback I'm going to get is someone asking me what my name is?

Precisely. :)

Yeah, TLALOC, TLALR, etc.

Improvement since link?

A toner cartridge will set you back anywhere from $70 to a couple hundred bucks, plus another ~$10 for a gallon of xylene, plus the cost of the Marsh mop and any additives and dyes, and you've got one damn pricey mop.

have u ever heard of when you make inks, you boil it ? but it makes it thicker and gives off a nasty smell ? i reckon that would be the easiest thing, chuck it in a pot and burn it till you like the consistency .. Quoted post [/b] Thanks. I figured that would be my last resort, seeing as fucking up a good pot and stinking up the kitchen isn't preferable. I think I might do a small side-batch to test mixing a bit of maple syrup or corn starch to thicken the ink.

What would be the most effective method of thickening an ink mix? I've got a mix of Sanford Higgins Eternal, some no-name blue screenprint pigment (thick stuff, but it kind of globulized so I filtered most of it out), a bit of Dot3, some Carolina Blue stain (science lab junk) and some ground & dissolved Kiwi shoe polish. I'm mostly just messing around, but this mix came out kind of strange - it's opaque and fine on cardboard, wood, non-glossy painted surfaces, etc. but on glossy painted surfaces, plastic, and whatnot, it kind of evaporates/recedes into itself leaving a bit of a stain. Kind of looks like when you spill an alcohol or a solvent and it evaporates very quickly. Can anyone explain what might have caused this, or what I might be able to add to thicken the mix up a bit. On the cheap I was thinking maybe a few spoons of corn syrup?

New from yesterday, should've widened out the bottom of the K.
