N64 Top Label idea... (THE 100% ORIGINAL TOPIC)

[mrbigreddog]

Were do you put those on Jaguar carts? Afair those have a rounded kind of end...

That's what makes my labels so great! They are designed to contour with curves AND STAY!

Let me tell you though, it sure was alot of "fun" trying to scan the top of the cartridge, kind of rolling the cartridge as the scanner passed. And I had to go through quite a few test prints and die cuts to get this to look right!!

Okay, also more information on the printing of these labels..

Printer: HP Designjet 9000 54"
Vinyl: 3M IJ35 with Air Agress adhesive (which helps with application, no bubbles because of micro channels in the adhesive)
Lamination: 54" Hot/Cold laminator and 3M lamination
Die Cut: 54" Graphtec Plotter (part of the printing process is crop marks, where this plotter reads the crop marks and diecuts all decals perfectly)

Wow.  With the prices you are charging, shouldn't you be using a cast vinyl (IJ180C-10 v2)?
Also, is it the 8519 laminant?
Also, does the HP use full solvent or mild solvent ink?
Is it 6 or 8 color?

[mrbigreddog]

IJ35C with 8509 laminate.
Full solvent I believe.
6 color process

I just looked up the product bulletin for the IJ35C-10.  I didn't realize 3M was giving it a 5 year warranty!  Nice! 

Does it use the version 1 comply system (is the cross-hatching visible)?  Just professionally curious because I'm considering getting a couple of rolls for the shop

So what is the ETA that some full sets will be available either here on the forums or on the site itself?

I honestly like shenske's style of N64 ones but it will all boil down to whatever label covers the majority of my games. Now I have to get out goo gone to get rid of the sticker/marker residue off my games!

No it's the micro air aggress, no cross-hatching! I love this stuff, we do vehicle wraps with it!

I love this idea!!

so, if this project continues, what do you guys think about making a template or something for SFC games?
Have some of them here loose, and it will be very very great to see they with endlabels

[juan0tron]

I'd be up for any and all endlabels. Glad to have you on the site as well

Believe it or not, but Axe Body Spray works wonders on those pesky marker marks.

Axe Body Spray?  Any specific scent? lol

I'll give it a try when I get home and see how it works.

[mrbigreddog]

At my work we use "Rapid Remover" which is a heavy citric spray, all you have to do is spray it on the excess adhesive, leave it for a few min. Come back and it scrapes right off easily! Then just a little rubbing alcohol to remove the Remover! hehe...

Doesn't matter. Haha. Regardless, it works, and your games will smell good. Haha.

[thesubcon3]

That's too funny. I still haven't gotten around that this... gotta try it tonight

[Staf]

I'm quite interested in this. It'll be way cheaper to put stickers on them in the meantime until I buy UGCs for them.
