Doing it my self with the PRESSIT kit. Printing onto CD stickers and putting them into black CDS

Template to use on indesign to add art work to to print onto the stickers for PRESSIT kit.


Try 5 to get the placement correct to print where needed for stickers.

A design idea. will be looking into this more over the next day to see how different ideas work once printed.

Once printed. Now to buy blank CDS to add them too to be able to see what it looks like and quality of product.

Bellow is one of the best prints on the CD. The paper above is a matt finish which didn’t have the vibrant look i wanted, it felt like ink jet paper and looked cheap. Therefore i went and got a gloss finish paper to work with the PRESSIT kit. The gloss finish looked so much cleaner and professional. I was happy printing was start to come together in a way i have pictured it.

RESEARCH FOR PRINTING PHOTOCARDS

Doing it myself editing photos into business card rounded edge style and printing onto photo-paper. Using app COLLAGEABLE. Bellow are some of my experimentation with photo card printing. They are printed on photo paper in the style on a business card, however they do not have the finish i hoped for as you can see the two elements stuck together as i didn’t print doubled sides as i wanted both sides to be on the gloss paper. I need to figure out a way to cut they card cleaner for a higher quality finish.  For the back on the card i used TENS signature and message to the fans.

Ongoing research – will update while i find new ideas and places to print

Update after COVID 19 – no longer printing due to change in hand in.
