    Minifig sticker generator —Amy Hughes
   I've created a program that'll create minifig clothing stickers in any color combination you'd like... (URL) let me know if it's useful, and if getting them to print the proper size turns out to be a problem. I only have the suit-n-tie pattern right (...)

     (...) That's a great idea, Amy! And it's really easy to use, to boot. Now I HAVE to try printing some out. :) (runs off to print himself up a half dozen "Men in Black" - and 1 Mr. Rogers) Joel J (23 years ago, 25-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

If I just print the page of stickers from my browser I get a tiny (...) (23 years ago, 25-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
    
         Re: Minifig sticker generator —Amy Hughes
      (...) Ugh. Netscape does this, too. Seems they aren't able to save dynamically- generated images. I can't test the printing since I don't have my printer connected now, but I suspect it'll fail, too. A solution isn't volunteering itself tonight, so (...)

          Re: Minifig sticker generator —Amy Hughes
      (...) I have more info now. You can save the individual images from the setup page (including the ones you've changed, which *are* dynamically-generated). I think what's happening is that images generated by sending data via the POST method on a (...) (23 years ago, 26-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

      (...) [Snip] (...) Sounds like you are just saving a link to it. If you right click on the picture and select "Save Picture As..." it should work, it does for me. BTW. Very cool utility, any chance of giving out the information on what to supply to (...) (23 years ago, 26-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
     
          Re: Minifig sticker generator —Amy Hughes
      (...) Thanks. (...) I'd need GIF images sized to 213x180 pixels with very simple color schemes. For example, a tie should be all one color, and not the many similar-but-not-exact colors that a JPG-to-GIF conversion or a scan of a photo would have. (...)

     (...) I've fixed this now. Please let me know if it's working for you, and if you need to do anything special to get them to print the right size. Amy (23 years ago, 26-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

The browser prints a single sticker about 2" square, though, and I can't see a place to tell it to (...) (23 years ago, 26-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
   
        Re: Minifig sticker generator —Adam Murtha
     They print out way too big on my computer to fit a minifig. Has anyone else had this problem? What's a good size to resize the picture to? Adam (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
    
         Re: Minifig sticker generator —Amy Hughes
     (...) They should be 1/2" tall. They're sized to scale well on printers with resolution multiples of 360 dpi, which would be all epson inkjets. The images are 213x180 pixels. Web browsers won't give you control over scaling, so you'll likely have (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
    
         Re: Minifig sticker generator —Adam Murtha
     My computer shows that the resolution of the images are 213x180 pixels, but they still print huge for me, at about 2 inches by 2 inches. Would the resolution I'm running my computer at have anything to do with that? Or my printer, I couldn't find (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
    
         Re: Minifig sticker generator —Amy Hughes
     (...) I think your browser is trying to print the image the same size it appears on screen, and it's assuming your screen is 72 or 100 dpi. The images were designed to print at 360 dpi, so your browser will print them 4-5 times too large. If you (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
