What kind of vinyl and ink do I need to screen my own stickers? Also, where is a good place to order this from? I've looked at the cutters and plotters, but I'm not sure if I want to jump into that kind cost if we are just doing small stickers.

Thanks.

You can screen print stickers. You want to use a matte vinyl and a solvent ink. There are many brands out there that make a general purpose ink. Call your supplier and see what they have for that purpose.

The places I order from for my shirt/print supplies do not stock any vinyl. Where do you order from?

There are a few places online to look. I like Wellington House or Ritrama.

Am I looking for the same type of adhesive vinyl rolls that can be used in some of the plotters and cutters? Is there a place that sells them in sheets instead of rolls? Just looking for options.

I would use standard matte calandared vinyl. Its adhesive is aggressive enough without being overly aggressive. You need to call the supplier to see if they sheet it or just have rolls. Its usually sold y the yard but they may have small sets.
