i've just asked him: he thought he could get it off in one piece ... we know the result!

he can't, because the cabinet has been fully restored!

Well, the french translation is awful  ;D !

edit : a better translation in my opinion ->

ATTENTION

De hautes tensions sont présentes derrière ce panneau. Il n'y a pas de parties utiles à l'utilisateur à l'intérieur.
Se référer à un personnel qualifié pour toute intervention. Pour prévenir les risques de choc électrique, déconnecter le câble d'alimentation avant toute intervention.

Maybe you should design a red warning label with the following text:
Warning: any attempts trying to remove warning labels on this cabinet will render the labels useless.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D

@JCP, should stay original, bad text or not. You should know how insanely stupid (but thus also insanely funny) the Dutch instruction card on my Berzerk is, but I would never dream of replacing/improving it !!!

can you print those on a white base as well - like the originals?

that is possible, only i dont know the price then, since its a "new" job then, so there are startup costs involved.

however, if the guy from klov wants his also on whit, then there is a higher number of stickers there, and then it could be interesting to calculate that.

Is it paper based, or vinyl based ?

If its paper based, it might be worth a shot to use a color laser printer on sticker paper..
i am at a customer today with a good quality digital color copier, i'll ask if they have sticker paper and if they do, i can give it a try on that to see the results.

if its vinyl based, then its nessecasy to print some higher numbers to justify the costs.

vinyl-based

Okay thanks, so i need to let the profi printer do that.

I have done a test anyway;

the etikets on this A4 sized sheet is 53x70 mm. and has rounded corners.
The original sticker is 50,8x62 mm

I have centered them on the etikets and made the red "overlapping"

I must say that it looks pretty good although its paper based..

I installed one on a "door" from a pc here..

Pretty convincing  :D

the plan i have is to let the profi printers do the vinyl, and i'll add in these as a bonus to your orders ;)

i think they look kickass and they would totally do it for me. where did you have those printed and cut to shape?
Title: Re: Red Warning stickers
Post by: Etienne MacGyver on December 09, 2011, 10:49:38 PM
hehe  ;D

My customer had a box of these etikets, and a digital copier (SHARP MX-4100N with a postscript module) (http://www.sharpusa.com/ForBusiness/DocumentSystems/MFPsPrinters/MX4100N.aspx)

so i just stretched the red part over the precut etikets (http://www.etiketten.nl/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=329) (floppy labels to be precise) and presto  :P

the size is a bit different than the original, and this is the only etikets they had, so i cannot do the other variant that you need like this.

anyway, there is going to be a run on white vinyl, there are enough numbers ordered on klov to justify costs..
