MegomanJess Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Here's how the stickers I just made turned out. (can you guess which ones they are?) They are not exact but look a heck of a lot better with a label than without one. Here's a Mock-up Label I made also. What do ya think?

Mortal Kombat Fanboy Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Where's the AtariAge*com one and the Red VS Blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegomanJess Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 I'm going to make those when I get extra carts. I only had 1 double. But I did print the red vs blue one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flack Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I would guess one of the Combats, just because it looks brand new. Congratulations, whichever ones they are look awesome. How did you technically do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegomanJess Posted September 12, 2004 Author Share Posted September 12, 2004 Blackjack, 01 Combat, Atari 2600 Yep I'm going to try fixing the rounded corner issue. But it makes it easy to tell it's a reproduction the way it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seob Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Is it possible for you to make a little manual about how to make this labels. I think i'm not the only one that is interestet in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flack Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Yeah. I am interested in what kind of printer you used, and what kind of paper. And also if you have a template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegomanJess Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 But be warned. You will need a Program and a printer that can make pictures in at least 300 dpi. Any pictures you get from the internet by copying them are only 72 dpi and will turn out blocky or pixlated. I used Photoshop and a HP 1115 Printer. The printer is not new. If you have a Printer less than 5 years old it will probably work. The trick is finding the correct size. With programs like Photoshop you can tell it to be a certain size. And then you can work in that area. I got the font files from here. After you get the size down and the Fonts all you really need to do is make sure you have a black background and line up your text. When I printed I used Glossy Sticker Paper. The gloss makes a huge difrence in the print. Then all I had to do is wait for the ink to dry. You should wait at least 5 minutes or more. The oil from your skin can cause the ink to smudge if it's not completely dry. Then cut them out carefully. One thing I didn't do my 1st time around was make some bleed off ares for the ink. WHat I mean is for the black back ground make it slightly bigger that you want it so when you cut it out you are not trying to cut it our perfectly. You should be cutting on the black area or you'll have these little white parts you will be trying to trim dowm later. I know some of this might sound be a little complicated but it really isn't. If anyone needs help or want's me to make a label for them you can email me at Megoman@comcast.net I rather make a bunch at once than just a couple. Remember these are not exact. But look really good an a game missing it's labels. Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio F Software Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Megoman, if someone here is able to help me make a few carts of Pineapple2000 to sell and one for me to keep, can you make me a few? (This is saying that someone DOES help me make a cart out of it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
