4 Alternative Uses for Printing

Printers are an indispensable ally in academics and business. Without printers, it would be impossible to produce well-written documents. Printing makes the production of copies easier and faster.

But there are other things that you can do with printing; you can do more with it than just print on paper. Some of these alternative uses for printing can bring your creativity skills to a higher level.

  1. You can create your decals and labels.

In the past, you had to buy a label maker, but with the advancement of technology, you can now use your printer to create labels. You can simply print out the words and then cover the words with packing tape. Lukewarm water can help make the words stick out from the paper. Put your newly-made decals on plastic, glass, metal, ceramics, or wood.

With your inkjet printer, you can print photos and images using the glossy part of stickers. Once printed, you can transfer them to metal or wood. For wood, it is important that the wood is bare so that it fully absorbs the ink and properly shows the image.
