cjameslv Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 These files are a definite help. Wanted to help out and start making some of the activision labels myself. Just finished beamrider last night and ill post it incase anyone needs it. It's a 300dpi image so file is a few megabytes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephini Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Is there any intention for doing this with PB or Imagic? My qbert and atlantis could use some love. I'm also wondering if you plan on doing kaboom or if you already have if i missed it. Edited November 15, 2015 by stephini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephini Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Yeah, they should read "REPRODUCTION LABEL" with the year 2015 Do you think it is enough to have that in the copyright lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-in-the-Belfry Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'd be interested in a few of them. I love Activision's labels, but the glue's ruined most of mine (except Stampede, for whatever reason my Stampede cartridge looks near-perfect).

hizzy Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Do even NIB Activision carts get this spotting on the label? Is it the glue that creates this effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjameslv Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Do even NIB Activision carts get this spotting on the label? Is it the glue that creates this effect? Yeah a new sealed box wouldn't make a difference. From what i've read, It's an adhesive issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing I noticed about the eBay labels is that the font and letter spacing is off; this is most noticeable in the Spider Fighter and Plaque Attack labels.

spawnshop Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I haven't tried replacing any labels on my Actiplaqued originals, but what's the best procedure to get the old ones off? I'm thinking a combination of naphtha and medium heat if necessary. The easiest and less-messy way i have found is using a simple heat gun....you can get them at lowes/home depot near the paint. Don't need to use it too high, and just about 20 seconds or so over the label, and lift. It softens the adhesive enough to lift it right off, and doesn't damage the cart or plastic (if not too hot). It will leave a residue, but that only helps the new label stick anyway. I do it all the time to repair labels or transfer labels with broken ICs. Works like a charm.

cjameslv Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Seems there's been a bit of interest again Here's another activision label i finished up. Same notes as before 300dpi and about 4mb. Also i looked at soo many carts online, i just couldn't find a dominant color scheme though, they all seemed to vary. So i ended up just going off my own cart for color layout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrokenToken Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 What is the best paper and printer to use to print the PDF's and get high-quality output? I've tried printing on my inkjet and color laser at home, and neither come close to the quality that I think they should and don't feel the same as the original labels. I've tried printing on glossy and matte stock and the matte looks and feels the closest, but still not a match. Are you taking these to a Kinkos or Office Depot and having them printed there? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjameslv Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 That or i find a laserjet on adhesive stickers and then overlaying clear packing tape and cut to fit. It gives them a very nice feel and look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I am waiting on the first shipment of labels from a new label company I'm using. If that goes well, I can use them to produce these labels, and they should look fantastic. Just wondering if there are any updates to share. I just received some relatively common Activision games with badly mottled labels, and it made me think of how much better they'd look with new labels. (I know that reproduction labels have become controversial in certain circles because of counterfeit games, so if that's still a sticking point, I'm sure most potential buyers would be fine with a small AtariAge band or some other identifying mark in a corner.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I think there is a greater need for repro labels than just the discussion in this thread. I know several people entirely outside of AtariAge that would purchase them. As our equipment, carts, consoles, and paraphernalia age, it stands to reason labels are going to need replacing. This also applies to floppy disks, though I don't see a market ever evolving for them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hizzy Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I'm handy with photoshop and I have many printing companies in my town that could help with this. I'm going to mess around and see what I can do! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also applies to floppy disks, though I don't see a market ever evolving for them. I agree 100% and I've already done cart labels, floppy labels (& sleeves), overlays, paraphernalia, consoles labels etc (many custom stuff too). I do quite a bit of homebrew overlays for Colecovision and Intellivision as well. (I might be adding 5200 and Jaguar overlays soon). I'm able to reproduce many of these things, in many cases better than the original. I already have a good track record in the Colecovision and Intellivision communities here on AtariAge. I have a good size catalog of ready to print labels/overlays and that catalog is always growing. (and yes, that includes many Atari 2600 cart labels as well). If someone is interested just PM me for details. Edited June 1, 2016 by pboland 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
