The Printer and Sticker Paper You Need for Stunning Printables

Last updated on July 11th, 2026 at 02:44 pm

One of the questions I receive most often is, “What printer do you use for your Daily Text printables?”

If you’ve ever printed digital downloads only to end up with dull colours, blurry text, or expensive ink replacements, you’re not alone. I remember wondering if there was a better way.

After years of printing Daily Text Stickers, Watchtower study printables, Bible journaling pages, and children’s resources at home, I’ve found a few tools that I return to again and again. They make printing easier, produce consistent results, and have become part of my weekly study routine.

Here are the supplies I use most.

Ecotank Epson Printer

The printer I use is the Epson EcoTank ET-2760, although I would recommend any Epson EcoTank model.

I switched to an EcoTank because I print regularly, and replacing ink cartridges was becoming expensive. The refillable ink tanks have made a big difference. One set of ink has lasted me well over a year, even with frequent printing.

What I appreciate most is the print quality. Colours are vibrant, text is crisp, and everything from journaling pages to stickers comes out clear and sharp. Whether I’m printing Daily Text pages, Bible study worksheets, or activity sheets for children, the results have been consistently reliable.

The initial cost is higher than a basic inkjet printer, but if you print often, the savings on ink add up over time.

My recommendation: If you print every week or enjoy creating your own study resources, an Epson EcoTank is worth considering.

Sticker Paper

A good printer is only part of the process. The paper you choose also makes a difference.

My favourite is white matte printable sticker paper. I use it almost every week to print labels, scripture stickers, decorative elements, and journaling pieces.

I prefer matte paper because it has a soft, natural finish that blends well into journals. It’s also easy to write on, unlike many glossy papers that can smudge.

If you enjoy trying different styles, you can also use clear or glossy sticker paper, but matte remains my everyday choice because it’s practical and versatile.

Cardstock for Cards and Bookmarks

Not every printable is meant to be printed on regular paper. For greeting cards, bookmarks, gift tags, and other projects that need a little more durability, I switch to white cardstock.

Cardstock is thicker than standard printer paper, which helps your finished projects feel more substantial and hold their shape. It’s my preferred choice whenever I’m printing something that will be handled often or given as a gift.

I usually choose 65 lb to 80 lb cardstock because it’s sturdy without being too thick for most home printers. Before buying a heavier cardstock, it’s always a good idea to check your printer’s paper specifications to make sure it can handle the weight.

For everyday worksheets and journaling pages, regular printer paper works perfectly. But when I want a bookmark that lasts or a greeting card that feels more polished, cardstock is always my first choice.

Mini Thermal Printer

Another tool I use regularly is a mini thermal printer.

Whenever I find a meaningful scripture, quote, or photo on my phone, I can print it in a few seconds and add it to my journal.

The setup is quick. It connects through Bluetooth, and because it uses thermal printing technology, there’s no ink to replace. Just load the paper and start printing.

Most mini printers print in black and white, which works well for Bible journaling and gives journal pages a scrapbook-style look. I usually trim it, layer it with a few stickers or labels, and add handwritten notes using the same small collection of tools I reach for every study session.

Final Thoughts

The right supplies won’t make your Bible study more meaningful, but they can make the process more enjoyable and encourage you to spend time using the resources you’ve prepared.

I’ve noticed that when my study area is ready and my printables are easy to use, I’m more likely to slow down, reflect on what I’ve read, and keep a journal that I enjoy returning to.

If you’re just getting started, begin with the basics and add new supplies over time as your needs grow. The goal isn’t to have every journaling tool available. It’s to create a study routine that helps you spend regular time with Jehovah and his Word.
