i set up a 4"x4" 300dpi photoshop file and i use a circle cutter to cut them out. it's a little tricky but i do graphics so i've got it down. then i put the lebel on (both sides) and punch out the hole with a screwdriver.

I like the fact that it's star wars and not star trek being what your name is

Just got the blank 4" labels in the mail today. I'm going 600 DPI. I had posted in this thread over the past few days: scratchlive.net

A quote from the other thread:


Copy of the image I put together here: www.djdazz.com

here's mine:

where do you guys get 4" precut labels?

I got my labels here:
www.planetlabel.com

so how do you get the images to print precisely on the labels?

sorry, I'm a graphic fetus.

measuring carefully, painstakingly ajusting, cussing, testing, cussing more, nugding. Repeat

hehehe, i wasn't as clean about mine. i got some avery paper, printed out the design, cut it out roughly, but i left a black bleed on the edges so it just merges in with the vinyl...applied it, poked the whole with a pencil...voila.

nice

kirk aren't you subjecting yourself to nerd backlash having conflicting names and images


nerd alert

Here it is attached. I think I'll stick with this rendering. Just waiting on some more CVs now. ;-)

Here's one of mine ....This one is going on some black CVs

Here it is on my CV...

Sorry if they suck....I'm a bit of a newbie at Illustrator/Photoshop...

no i like both & i didn't pick my name it was given to me. nerds have the issue, not me.

plus my setup is called the death star and my denali is called the enterprise so i have the 2 most powerful spaceships at my disposal (the nerds can backlash all they like)

also i did not get precut labels i got full sheet labels and trimmed them with the circle cutter. i'm a graphic designer.

So, being that I have absolutely no non-musical artistic talent at all...anybody wanna let me paypal them some cash to do me some stickers? I've been wanting to do this for a while now, but I have no skills in this area at all.

picard oops, i mean kirk, where are you getting your vinyl from?

tip -coat your labels with this tape www.3m.com
that way graphic wont wear off
and this tape feels almost exactly like vinyl
I can only find it 2" wide tho

"picard oops, i mean kirk, where are you getting your vinyl from?"

the vinyl? hmm...you mean the serato records? i get them from guitar center...but maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean. any CV will do since all I am doing is covering the label with nother sticker. I can't advertise on here (rule of the forum i think) but if you would like to discuss this sometime my email is available from my account page.

also instead of using 3m to cover the sticker you could use a spray laminate or art preserver spray (probably also made by 3m) but if you do that you should mask off the vinyl part so you don't get any spray on there. my graphics are heavy duty though. If you print on a docucolor printer (from Xerox) on regular avery or staples sticker paper the image is waterproof and practically indestructible.

"measuring carefully, painstakingly ajusting, cussing, testing, cussing more, nugding. Repeat" - nice

this is how i got started also:)

now i got a fiskars circle cutter

www.kitchen-hills.com

that was not an endorsement, that is the first image i found in a search (in fact, do not buy them from that kitchen-hills site) there i un-endorsed it.

you said the first image was on red vinyl; the second on black vinyl. i was referring to the stickers are they vinyl or paper?

paper stickers

I just created something simple and sweet.

I used Adobe Illustrator. It's in a PDF. Make sure you don't shrink it when you print.

At my day job I got a Color Xerox Laser Printer and some full sheet stickers. So I'll have to cut a perfect circle.

What do you guys think?

you can buy a circle cutter at staples or other places too rob

www.dickblick.com

i guess i already said that like 8 months ago tho...sorry for the repost

Thanks, I'm going to keep that in mind.

I'll try to freehand first and see how it goes.


Why in gods name would somebody name their company "Dick Blick"? That's just wrong.

I make the labels if any of you guys need. Perfect fit for the vinyls!! All I need is your design.

Email me if you would like to purchase any.
