Roger2005 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Hi there ! I'm looking for a template (ideally a photoshop PSD file) for a full face label like the one you see in this video... Anyone has this here ? I could ask the guy from the video but first i'm not that much into typing my email in a youtube comment, second i don't know if he's around to answer to it... BTW, i'm planning to print a really full faced sticker label, unlike his that has this hole for the sliding piece. Thanks if anybody can help...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger2005 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Hi & thanks for your answer & the links, (i'm french btw ) I since gone ahead and made the template. Here are my first tests, if anyone is interested in getting the template i made for those sticker prints, or even need some details, a tutorial on this, please message me and i'll be happy to do a real post for this as there's a thing or two that are a bit tricky to get this done, but nothing really complicated. To use the template, you'll need photoshop and some basic skills on it. I can explain the whole process as i said. I'll try to post some better quality pictures soon as those don't really do justice to the results, you can see there are a few bubbles here & there on some but those are my first attempts so...

sfbp Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 I love the appearance. But I feel obligated to throw up a flag here. If the (sticky) paper ever got stuck in the very delicate shutter mechanism, it seems to me that one such disk would have the capacity to wreck multiple MD recorders. I've had some problems over the years with sticky labels. This "full paper jacket" approach seems to my (perhaps too fussy) eye to have the possibility of breaking the spring at the very least. Or worse, to jam the disk in the mechanism which is delicate at the best of times. I well recall a unit that had been ruined by someone, probably in a classroom, forcing an MD in the wrong orientation (there are 7 wrong ones and only one right!) and busting the OW head and more. Now if one could 3D-print an entire new MD case that would be another matter :) But perhaps I have misunderstood the nature of the modifications....... Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 I did the same with transparent tape. Till the tape does not cover the shutter mechanism area, it work. My choice is to avoid also the part up to the shutter mechanism area. So wait and see Roger"s work. About your 3D-print Stephen, it would be cool if this the one for storing MD +/- MD box in a CD box or a DVD Box. I have a friend who have a 3D printer.

sfbp Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Sure. But I was referring to "that which Roger stuck paper on to". Not the case for the case..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 There is also the case for the case for the case (MD shelve) ;>) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 A solution to the MD label-full-wrapped that Stephen (sfbp) don't like (sure that the mechanism could be jammed) : Look at the labels here : https://www.bandcds.co.uk/all-others/minidisc-duplication-and-production/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone interested in MD cases like the above one in PhillipeC's post (ie a CD case which will fit an MD) there are 10 going on eBay right now: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Minidisc-Storage-Cases-X10/382791126373?hash=item5920210d65:g:7xsAAOSw5r1cQ3KB:rk:71:pf:0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearBoy Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 I bought some of those CD sized MD cases the other day. I remember seeing them for sale in HMV back in the late 90s early 00s but never picked any up. Not 100% sure what I will do with them yet.

PhilippeC Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 In a sense this is for people who like to have a booklet with each MDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reminiz Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 hey @Roger2005 love your full body labels! Have you thought about using some sort of transfer paper to get the ink directly onto the MD? Like a tattoo transfer paper with a cold peel? I know you’d probably have to spray the MDs with some kind of white paint or coating as most are transparent plastic cases.. but just an idea! Something like this but much cheaper..

I finally have some time to give some news. For your idea reminiz, the problem is that those are for white objets only. This would need a special kind of printing like decals with white available in the printer also. I know some factories that do exactly that, but it's expensive. Sfbp, I understand your fear, but it doesn't seems to be a problem. I haven't really manipulated them enough to be sure of it. I'll go back to it, do some more and make sure it stays ok over time & handling, and if everything's fine, i'll post some detailed steps on how to get them like this, along with a photoshop template if anybody's interested.

Instead of tattoo like transfers, something like vinyl could work. Printable HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl), you can print on these in your inkjet then cut them out of the template then use a iron or heat gun to apply to the MD.. I think the transfers come with heat protective film. Im going to try this myself on a few MDs, just waiting on the sheets to arrive.

PhilippeC Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hi everybody. An easier and cheaper way to print a label is to print it on a standard paper then fix it with large scotch sticker (making sure there are only very tiny air bubbles), doing the same with the thin banner on the side. Just making sure you do not scratch the MD with the cutter. @reminiz rather than your full design vinyl (yes I am myself afraid of using heat gun @Roger2005), you should try drawing pencils like Poscam® which can fulfill your creativity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bbcMYDnOrM A software like IPaint-Machine can help you a lot. This quite difficult to download it now from the web but if you PM me I can send it to you. Photoshop is the best nethertheless... http://img.brothersoft.com/screenshots/softimage/i/ipaint-machine-68143-2.jpeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger2005 Posted August 21 Author Report Share Posted August 21 Hi, i'm a bit late to reply (!) but here's a link to one of the covers as a pdf. If you open it in Photoshop and respect the same size, you can print it on adhesive and have the same result. I just exacto'd the blind by hand after sticking it : https://drive.google.com/file/d/17eTNPtBj7PaBhPCBrv3BBcCd3l1W6owo/view?usp=sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
