Title: Replace side sticker on a TG16 HuCard Game
Post by: grendelrt on July 07, 2006, 10:46:49 AM: I just received some items from ebay and the sticker on the side of the case that say the game title and has a color for genre is ripped off. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to print a new one and stick it on there. Suffice to say I was really pissed to see this was intentionally left out of the auction description and pictures. Heres the auction and seller for future reference

It sucks that they didn't mention the ruined case(s). But if you didn't already own those titles loose, that was still a great deal.

Post by: grendelrt on July 08, 2006, 04:54:24 AM: Yeah I didnt leave negative. I left him neutral. He shipped on time and sent the right items. But he left out the damaged case, the yellow smoke ridden hu card sleeve, and the fact he charged me $8 to ship something for $4. Oh and the bookelts are not in that great of condition either.

Post by: MotherGunner on July 08, 2006, 09:31:01 AM: I make my own labels...

What I do is get two kinds of paper for my printer. Color gloss photo paper and Label paper (one big sticker)

I printe the label on the color gloss paper and use a glue stick to affix it to the label paper, then I cut it out. Works great. Label stays and is nice and thick.

Remember to let the gloss paper dry first.

I'll see if I have the PSD on my server. If I don't, I can email it to you tonight. I use thicker Glossy photo paper. And 3M spray adhesive. Works great!

Post by: cavein2000 on July 12, 2006, 09:38:12 AM: That is awesome, I just picked up a copy of air zonk complete recently - But i do keep the Hucard loose in sleeve and the box separate. I have thought about this before for games like Air Zonk, New Adventure Island and Neutopia 2. The motivation never struck me yet, but this will speed things along. Thanks for providing the template!!

Post by: Joe Redifer on July 15, 2006, 06:34:57 PM: I've had to do this twice now, once for Jackie Chan and the other for Galaga '90. It sucks because I don't have the exact Turbo font and I end up stealing letters from other Turbo spines, and I search around franticly to make sure I use the right color. It's quite the Photoshop job for such a generic-looking spine, but it's gotta be right! I scan other spines in at 400dpi and print out at the same resolution on photo-quality sticker/label paper.

Post by: ShadowStitch on July 20, 2006, 10:57:16 AM: Bizarrely, I came here looking for advice on my busted Duo, but I have had to do this same thing to damaged cases. I found an ALMOST exact font match for the sides, and made a photoshop template for this project. If I can dig it up, I'll try to post it.

Print it on an inkjet label and seal it with semigloss sealant, and it looks almost authentic!

Post by: Joe Redifer on July 20, 2006, 02:57:03 PM: The font style used on the newer cases is simply Arial Black.

Post by: merriman_bk on August 05, 2006, 12:01:50 AM: Don't know if you guys saw, but I have 3 empty turbocases (not sure why I have them but I do). Anyway the thread says $10 shipped but I'd do $8 shipped or something, could make them into whatever you want with this labeling stuff. :wink:

Post by: 2X4 on October 01, 2006, 07:58:16 AM: I tried pming but maybe noone checks their pms. I would love it if Pixeljunkie or whoever has the best template for this could send it to me. I recently unearthed my original turbo collection and everything is in great shape save for the jewel cases. I could really use that template. If someone would be so kind, either reply here, pm me or just email it to me: cstrand69@hotmail.com. I would be forever in your debt!
