Writting on Blanks

[Jmeyers]

What do you guys use to write on your blanks? I've been trying to use a calligraphy pen with some white ink but having trouble getting it to look nice and not splotchy...

Calligraphy pen and ink. Just takes practice. I took out my personal rods and practiced with them...over and over. Write a name - wipe it off. Write some numbers - wipe it off. You'll get better as you develop the feel for it.

Some use computer to print on adhesive, some use thicker "paint pens". Those didn't work for me so I just practiced, and had to lower my expectations a little until I had more confidence.

I have seen where people write on scotch tape and then tape that to the blank and CP and expoxy over it. Winds up being similar to a decal.

I tried the scotch tape thing but only in a little differant fashion .

I created a image in microsoft word , printed it on scotched tape that I adhered to paper and sent through printer , it is a bit tricky and isnt perfected yet but heres a sample.

I hope I dont get copyright infrindgment Lol

the ink never really dries and needs to be cleared coated after removal from paper before it can be touched in any matter (I smudged it a little) but will not once sprayed with clear laquer.

ive been working on this label thing and have yet to figure it out...gonna try a new way tomorrow and see what happens. but for now....

there is a slot on the front of my wrapper where the threa eyelet slided back and forth, i lay the rod in that to make it more level then write like I would on paper. wait for it to dry and coat with finish.

I use the jelly roll pens, as well as craft paint markers.

They do make a water slide or a peel and stick paper for printers. I found, even though they say it is for inkjet printers it works better with a laser printer. I used both water slide and the peel and stick and they both work fine. The water slide is thinner material than the peel and stick but it only takes one more coat of thinned out finish and it is smooth.

print on tape ,blow dry ink and carefully go over with clear fingernail polish over the ink. peel of paper and stick to rod , finish as normal tape is invisable , however I have not tried and a black/grey blank .

where did you find water slide sheets?

[Smoker]

Decal Connection has the water slide sheets and peel and stick skeets. You can also order just a single name decal also. I will order one on Monday and I will have it on Thursday. They look great to. The nice thing is you can order in white if you want.
