    Hello Everyone haven’t posted for ages just drifted into my own niche and day to day concerns.

    Can see some of the same face. You would think after all this time all the Sign making problems would be well sorted by now?

    A while back I sourced some labels for a piano shop that displayed the vendors details neatly at the corner of the face above the keys.

    They were printed in gold and silver on clear about business card size with small type and now that he wants another 100 of each I can’t remember who did them.

    Ive been round the usual suspects in the area and can only find foil options that are to expensive for such a short run.

    The problem with using my usual printer is the ink is too transparent leaving the text illegible.

    I’m guessing I need someone with white ink to make the text more opaque?

    Tries searching the boards for this sort of thing as I can remember this topic coming up before but I keep getting sucked into reading all the other discussion and don’t get anything done.

    If anyone can do these I can send the file with contours its not an emergency.

    Gerber or p600 machines.

    We sadly sold our gerber, had loads of orders for it after…

    We now screen print onto clear with reg marks, then contour cut on the summa
