Jeff -
I use adobe Illustrator. Whatever you use you it has to be vector graphics, I believe they can take ai or eps formats. The artwork you use has to be vector as well. Greg Re: Label Maker, Which One?

For names I use a cricket cutter machine. I get some graphics vinyl from a local shop and cut names as small as 1/4 inch. Lable makers will probably not ptint in silver, gold or white. Cricket cutters are not that expensive and all that goes on the blank is the letters. Re: Label Maker, Which One?

Jeff,
The label is clear, not cloudy at all. If you tell me what you want on it, I will make you one and you can try it. The reason I stick with the Brother label maker is that I have had bad luck with peel and stick decals. I built a "naked" graphite rod and put the factory peel and stick on as I had always done, and it did not look good. The lettering looked wavy, and was hard to read. I read you needed to put down a layer of epoxy on "naked" graphite, I did that on the second rod. The peel and stick looked even worse than the first one. I ended up pulling it off, and ultimately put one of my Brother labels on it. Just my experience. Brandon, I would be interested in the information on Desktop supplies labels. My email is in my profile. Bert Nagy Re: Label Maker, Which One?

I understand what you want to do yourself, I would either use Decal Connection or practice writing on blanks. Some people can do it with very nice results, Im not one of them though... Re: Label Maker, Which One?

I use Corel Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop with the decal paper from Swampland. That silver holographic paper is amazing. David Dosser Coshocton, OH Re: Label Maker, Which One?
