    I’ve been asked to do some stickers on the PC60, but they want them on plain paper-like labels to match what they have at the moment. Is it worth me running them through the PC60 or should I be using the laser printer? 😕

    If it is worth using the PC60, what type of product would I be looking at buying in?

    Thank you in advance 😀

    Cheers, Dewi

    hi
    if there is no cutting involved i would laser them – cos faster cheeper
    you can use wax ribbons on to smooth paper

    We had the same problem a few weeks back, one of our customers wanted 5000 labels, prior to this we had run off 2 sets of 300 on the edge, which we charged him 20p each for!

    Now he wanted 5000, im thinking definatley not for the edge, so i got in touch with my Local Digital Printer which i have a great relationship with, they did me 5000 for less than £200, there was no way i could have got anywhere near that close on the edge. I added my percentage, im happy, the customer was over the moon, and all i did was mail the artwork!

    They are superb, a 48 hour turn around, everyone’s a winner! It took me ten minutes max, including the phone call and made a lot more profit than i would have if i would have done it myself.

    Thats looking to be the option I think, sub it out… doing it inhouse seems to be difficult.. thank you for the help though Chris, who supplies that particular paper though?

    Cheers, Dewi
