Your thoughts on printing a restored cartridge label?

[towmater]

The label fell off, and it occurred to me that I could scan and recreate it, although now that I'm finished my one-track mind realizes that I don't know the best way to print this. Does anyone have a process they prefer or a service they use to make replacement labels?

I'd put the old label back on, if available.  Just use a thin coat of rubber cement on the label and the cart.  Once both are dry, apply the label to the cart.  Rub off excess cement.

 

Or, I'd print a label on plain paper or glossy paper if available and then use clear packing take to laminate the front, apply rubber cement as described above, allow to dry, apply.

Below is a video I made years ago that shows my favorite method.  While the video is old and no longer public on YT, I posted it here to show you.

I used to enjoy fixing up old labels, here is one before and after for the 5200 that was fun...

While it's not "perfect" it was good enough for me.
