Online Atari 2600 Label Maker : Now with Silver Labels

[KevinMos3]

Cool thx...now I just need insight into what label, e.g. Avery label people are using

Ah, I think I understand your question now. I've been wanting to get some inkjet sticker paper myself, but the kind I've gotten in the past did not stick well. I replaced the label on a couple of bare carts, but they fell off after a few years.

 

I too would like to know what brand of sticker paper people have had the best results with. I didn't want to drop another $10-$12 on a few sheets from Wal-Mart or Office Max without them being better quality than what I've gotten in the past.

These home brew folks should be able to help us out...

Office Depot Photo Gloss Print & Stick Paper (Item #652-051) yields excellent results.

 

I have never seen it on their website - only on the store shelves.

even if you consider the criminal he was

it is a bit tasteless

 

 

Nah, It's good to go IMO. It's the same as making anything similar with any opressive tyrant, you pretty much have the go ahead to make fun of them in all ways. They earned the shame they are given and it also lets us never forget why a free world can never have men like this trying to run things.

I have to admit I found this hysterical...

Is there anyway to make Activision labels using this creator? That would be awesome if you could set that up. Btw...the label maker is awesome!!!!

I'm not good at doing picture labels right now. Truth be told, I suck with PhotoShop. Can anyone tell me which tools I'd use to resize the pics so they'd fit? Is it possible to do with MS Paint?

 

At any rate, here's my latest effort.

No sizing abilities in MS Paint. You can download a freeware photo editor that has common functions like crop, resize, and brightness adjustment.

So cropping and resizing are the things I need to learn. Thanks.

Love the labels, TI99Kitty!!

Love the labels, TI99Kitty!!

 

Thanks! When I get some more pics ready, I'll experiment with the other label styles. For now, though, here's another:

Sorry about the double post, but the "Edit" button seems to have gotten lost down the sofa cushions or something...

 

 

[TI99Kitty]

Since my Photobucket links are all broken (and the edit button still hasn't turned up (maybe it fell behind the fridge?), I've uploaded my pics to my gallery (now with the labels on cartridges, woo-hoo!). I was going to post all of them here, but I realized that's a lot of pics... So I'll put my favorite one here

 

 

and just link to the gallery: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?app=gallery&module=user&user=24935&do=view_album&album=459

 

Edit: Look! I found the edit button! Turns out it had fallen behind the toilet!

 

Anyway, ETA, thanks for making this tool, Cropsy! It's loads of fun! And when I get some extra money, I'm going to buy a bunch of cheap 2600 carts, so I can put these labels on them and put them on display! ^_^

Added some TI games to the 2600 cart gallery. ^_^

This thread kicks ass

I am working on a local fundraiser and will be giving away custom labeled atari carts. I suck with computers. I can make a label, but how do I copy and save the right size to fit an atari cart? The ones I print are way too big. I need some help.

The small labels fit correctly when printed at 150 DPI and the large labels at 360DPI. If your image software doesn't support setting the DPI for printing just set the printed width to 2.733 inches or 6.94 centimetres.

 

If the software you are using doesn't support custom printed sizes the image viewer IrfanView is free and does. It's available at http://www.irfanview.com/

So much for keeping the topic clean-rated...

If a picture of a woman in her underwear is offensive, I can always remove it. (shrugs)

I liked it. I like skittles.
