Double Sided Stickers with Versaworks
Hi,
You may already know how to do this, but I just worked it out so I thought I would share it. Feel free to correct me if there is a better way. I worked this out to make those little service stickers that automotive workshops put on your car to tell you when your next service is due.
First you need two images of the same dimensions, the one that will be facing out can have bleed but not the inside one. You will also need clear digital media and white digital media with a white backing (best if they are the same brand and type)
Load the clear vinyl into the printer, in versaworks open the image that will face outside. in the layout menu, make the quantity as many as you would like and the spacing whatever it needs to be and write it down. At the bottom of the layout area click the mirror button. Add print and cut crop marks, and set it to print only. Print the stickers.
Hang them to dry for a while, then overlaminate the clear with the white digital media. Remove the white vinyl from the area over the alignment marks and load it into the machine. You should make sure it is as straight as possible. Use the cut only mode with the alignment marks still on, and set return to origin after cut.
Once it has finished cutting it should have lined itself up to start again, but you need to move the cut head in a little sometimes to meet up with the point of the aligning arrow thing. Push the basepoint button and you are ready to print the inside.
Make sure you use the same layout settings as you did for the outside (except mirror) and use print only (no cropmarks this time) and there you have double sided stickers for oil service inside window stickers.
If that helps someone, it was worth all the typing.
Cheers
