Interest Check: IMAGIC Foil backed overlays

[+pboland]

What brand/model number is the cutting plotter?

 

Nothing fancy (Silhouett Cameo). I needed something cheap until I could save up for something better. It's normally used for scrap booking but it seems to work really nicely for odd shaped cart labels (see http://atariage.com/forums/topic/146231-colecovision-labels-thread/?p=3375111). I'm also working/using it for Colecovision (Can I say that here?) super action controller overlays, and INTV/Coleco/5200/2600 video touch pad overlays.

Admittedly I'm taking way too long on this project. It's one I work on in between regular jobs. This entire project was one I really shouldn't have announced as early as I did. It has posed many challenges for me to overcome as far as making certain things. So far I've learned to make foil cart labels, found a better way to cut overlays (and labels), made my laminating process much better, and improved greatly with digital image editing with several different software programs for different purposes. This little project actually made me rethink and retool my entire process with overlays, labels, diskette sleeves, and even small run boxes.

 

This project actually started back in 2014. It will be the last hand cut overlay project I do (extremely time consuming), but it is getting closer to being finished. The majority of the overlays are cut to size as you can see from this image:

 

 

I still need to design/print/make one more overlay and a print/make two special edition foil trending cards. Then it is just a matter of scoring, folding, and assembling each box.

 

It will happen this year.

Many of us would gladly assemble our own boxes. :-) Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update. Just make sure to include me. I don't want to miss out on this one.

Relieved to hear I didn't miss these, saw them listed as a 2015 release on Rev's site just this morning.

[wolfy62]

I am putting aside money now for great projects like this!!! Thank you, Wolfy 62

[Steve Jones]

Yeah i'd be totally fine to assemble my own boxes if you scored them

[BBWW]

Most of us would! Bring 'em on.

Assembling the boxes is not what's holding these up. I should be assembling by mid September and ready to sell by late September.

 

More news to come!

Hurry up and finish or else I'll be forced to... wait longer.

Glad somebody replied to this today. I am definitely interested in a set of these in a pretty box.

[+pboland]

We are getting really close. I would say the week after Thanksgiving I will be ready to go with these (Finally!). Remember I do not take pre orders. Here's a picture to show just how close this is:

Awesome news Phil! Looking good. I assume my standard order of 75 copies is still valid?

[Intymike]

That looks pretty close!

[BBWW]

For each set you buy over two, the price goes up $5 from the last one you bought. You are spending some serious $$ there. I'm proud of you.

Lol! Well it's for charity after all....wait, no, that's the other thing. Damnit!

[+freewheel]

For each set sold, cmart owes more money. I approve of this business practice.

[JasonlikesINTV]

Neat!

Not 77!!!

[+intellivotion]

(why 14? guess the correct answer)
