I have purchased some planner stickers on Etsy. When I print them they are very muted and dark. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to print bright/colorful stickers? Is there a good home printer out there for this or has anyone had them printed at staples?
I have tried different print settings and papers but still get same blah result.

We might be able to help you if you can provide some more info - eg what is the file type Pdf, jpg, png? What software have you tried using? What are you printing on? If you print a photo using the same settings/ software/ paper combos do you get similar results?
The reason I'm asking is that I recently was trying some different cardstock options for printable journal cards and couldn't believe the wildly varying results - one card turned out blue, another grey, and the third was vaguely purplely.

You really have to play with the settings and the DPI to get the look you want. Seems like a lot of printers are different. For example you can set the print setting to Photo Quality but if the DPI is set low it won't as good as if you set the DPI to a higher number.

Do the colors look bright on your monitor? Is it possible that the colors the stickers were designed with are muted? I would experiment with a different file you make yourself with the colors you're looking to get and see if you can get them when you print something you have created. Then you'll know if it's the design that's the issue or the printer itself.
