Title: NES cart labels anyone?
Post by: strangersinspace on June 21, 2010, 04:00:27 PM
Hello... new person here :)  I tried searching on this topic but as you can imagine I get a lot of results back relating to printing labels for UGC or other cases.... but what I'm curious to know is if anyone has had luck printing actual NES cartridge labels to put on the cart itself.  If so, I'd like to know the best method... i.e. what type of paper and what dimensions pixel-wise in photoshop, etc.  Anything like that.  I'm new to all this, so I'm not even sure what all the correct questions are.

Heres a label found in our database. Keep it to these dimensions and she'll print out just fine.

Just to be a bit nit-picky, but aren't the corners suppose to be rounded?

Could be but it's much easier to create in a rectangular shape. You could when cutting it out just make the edges roundish yourself. ;)

Hey it's my label YEAH!!!
but like badchad said it's much easier to do it rectagular, and afterall once you've print it you can do whatever you want with it. For paper I use normal sticky paper, it's not glossy but it works perfectly fine. If you want a label ask me I could do one, just tell me if you want an original or custom. And BTW that label of zelda 2 just like zelda 1 look's a lot better on a grey cartridge.
