For a long time I have been staunchly pro-printing, as I still am in regards to constraction lines. However, I have seen that the advantage that stickers have is that they provide a choice-- as to whether apply them or not, to modify them as one wishes. I have recently stopped putting them on sets, because I've seen that many times they can be useful later in creations. Printed pieces, provide you little choice, and if one wishes to utilize the piece for something other than its design, then you must hide that side from view, which is not always possible.
