PacManPlus Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 So I bought these full sheet magnet paper pack and I was thinking what I could do with them (I know, you guys will probably tell me to 'get a life')... But then I thought, "It would be cool to print some Atari Picture Labels (among other arcade-related things) as referigerator magnets!" Of course, I only put them on the small referigerator in my rec room, or my girlfriend would probably think it's silly (and she doesn't even *live* with me yet) What do you guys think? (Sorry about the blurry pic - I am using Auto-Focus on the camera so I don't understand why that is happening) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 They look nice for a rec room. Are you using standard or glossy paper for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cryptik76 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 They look very cool. If you made a Mountain King, Keystone Kapers, or Rampage magnet I'd buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted April 3, 2003 Author Share Posted April 3, 2003 Thanks! @sku_u: It's actually magnet paper, (I don't know if you've seen it before, but it's a matte finish paper, with a thin magnet backing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelerFan Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Lets see that cool KISS stuff! I wish someone would have made a KISS game back in the seventies. Afterall, KISS was on EVERYTHING else! STEELERFAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Those are awesome. What's that magnet paper stuff called? I'd like to order some. I can probably find it online. I'd look for some old atari magnets I had and see if I could redo them, they're worn out from being played with by a kid. 1'st pic, your just holding the camera slightly to close to the picture. Auto focus doesn't work to good inside of 3 feet or so. The second pic looks like slow shutter speed and you moved it while taking the picture (odd, I rarely see that except in the unuseually slow to operate older polaroid cameras) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted April 3, 2003 Author Share Posted April 3, 2003 Thanks everyone! @Video -> Thanks for the camera tips... Unfortunately, I don't remember what that paper is called; I've actually had the paper for a while, there are no markings on it, and I can't remember where I got it. I'm sorry - I will try to find it again and let you know... @Steelerfan - This may make this thread off-topic but here you go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted April 3, 2003 Author Share Posted April 3, 2003 Hello all: I found the maginet paper! This place also has full sheet glossy sticker paper with smaller quantities so you don't have to spend as much! I think I will be buying from this place from now on... http://www.specialty-printer-paper.com/mag...gnet-paper.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 (edited) Thank for the link. I just bought a pack to test it out, but I think my wife's method is probably a lot cheaper. She buys sheets of magnets that are the size of a sheet of paper for around 20 cents a sheet, then prints out her designs on regular paper and spreads a very thin film of glue over the surface of the magnet, glues the sheet to the magnet, a little work with the exacto later, she has a similar product.
