One user shared steps using a printer, black ribbon, and colorful holographic label paper to create a bold black effect, including pictures for reference. Others asked for a video or file sharing options, and the original poster offered to make both soon. A few users reported success or similar setups, while one mentioned the ribbon breaking when printing full black across it.
What this discussion establishesOne user reported ribbon breakage during full-width black printing while the original poster had never encountered it
Still openHow to prevent the ribbon from breaking when printing large solid black areas
Nothing here is advice.
A friend inquired about the method behind this big dark print appearance, which led me to compile the process into its own thread. I hope it benefits people looking to experiment with it. First I combined a printer unit, black ribbon, and vibrant holographic sticker material. Then I just looked at the images that follow to replicate it exactly.
You should make a video and link it.
This is fantastic and I'll switch to it later since these holographic stickers are what I'm using at the moment. Thanks so much!
Funny how that lines up exactly, I wondered about the same thing myself. Never figured I'd run across this thread, but your share really sorted it out for me 🙌
Is there any method for passing labels around? We really should build a site to let others access the documents.
When my schedule opens up shortly I'll record a clip to upload in this thread💪
I'm unsure about passing along those label files straight away, though I've come across a convenient method for outputting whatever labels are needed. Hold on a moment while I start another thread to pass this along to the group.
I'm still puzzled by this. Covering the full length of the strip with dark color in that style always makes it snap. What's the right way to handle it?
This isn't something I've come across personally, leaving me uncertain. Their support team after the sale might be able to figure out the root of the problem.
It feels rewarding to know I assisted someone here. Learning my input proved helpful brings me real satisfaction.
Can't wait to see that video you mentioned! I picked up some shiny rainbow sticker sheets not long ago and I'm eager to experiment with them.
Appreciate the info. Planning to experiment with that arrangement on my m2 device as well.
Ha, it feels good knowing my input made a difference!
