I have a project that I have been working on for quite some time and I need a little help. I have a computer station that I made from styrene and some display screens I also made. I am wondering how some of you print of the cool, little decals to use with your customs. Sometimes they are computer screens, buttons on displays and other times they are little posters and ads found in a diorama. A quick tutorial to walk me through that a bit would be appreciated.
Making/printing off stickers of displays, screens and the like

I'm sure there is a more tech savy way to do this butI find images on line and copy them into a word document. Once I find one picture I resize it several times and print it out. Then I decide on the one I want to keep and delete the others. I change the viewing size of the document so the picture on the screen is 1:1 from the print out. Then I find/resize as many images as I need and print them out.
I cut them out and and glue with white glue (Wellbond).
There is clear sticker paper so you can make waterslides but I haven't done that.
Downloaded photos can be tweaked using Gimp or other programs.
This pic has various logos, shipping labels, signs and 1:18 food packaging and coke can labels. The windows are covered up with newspaper (Marvel themed, mostly).
More labels and Mary Jane ads. Scale newspaper.
Functional Big Mac containers, cookie boxes and wrappers. Pages from a comic book. I actually have cigarette boxes to scale but not in this pic.
You can find Hasbro/Kenner stickers on line and Diorama workshop has stickers already.
