Best printer and stickers for label making

[the.golden.ax]

I need to be able to make stickers of Al's quality. These actually wouldn't be for homebrew use.

 

Any info on the best printers and label sheets would be greatly appreciated!

No one knows anything?

Albert uses a Xerox Phaser 7700 color laser printer. He's also had them printed on an HP Indigo at a professional print shop.

 

Not sure where he gets his label stock from, but he has it custom die-cut, so it's not an off-the-shelf item.

 

8-bit classics sells sheets of labels for laser or inkjet printers though.

 

The trick with labels is that some laser printers just won't fuse the toner to some types of stock (especially the glossy stuff), so it'll just flake right off.

 

Ink jet printers can be used, but you'd want one that had smudge-proof and water-resistant inks.

 

And practice printing and lining up the labels on paper first - then check to see if they line up with the cuts on the label sheet.

You might try asking Lance at Video 61 as well. I own a few of their 8-bit and 7800 homebrews

and they have another type of label. It's not shiny like Albert's, but it does seem to hold up.

I haven't handled them as much as my Atari Age homebrews, so I'm not sure if they would

hold up for as long as Albert's, but you could call Video 61 and ask Lance. He's very friendly.

 

EDIT: The games I bought from Video 61 were not homebrews, but rather prototypes and reproductions. I hope I didn't cause any confusion.

One of them was Combat 1990 for the 7800, which is probably a prototype since it was finished in 1990 but never released. I wish that the

guy who did Combat 1990 would create some new homebrews for the 7800, as he had some good ideas and skills. Does anyone know him?

8-Bit was out of ink jet labels a month or so ago. If anyone finds good precut label paper, let me know. I need some.
