Thanks! It was fun to put together and the family loves it!

I was really impressed with the print quality. The printer also has AirPrint and google cloud print which is convenient.

I started making new labels for my collection a few weeks ago, and it is a bit of a pain. If you're not interested in spending a lot of time and money getting labels perfect, I recommend going to retrogamecases and paying the $5/label there. If you're still interested, here is my process:


There are no good sources for high quality label scans that I know of, so I generally make them myself in photoshop using a heavily modified version of this template. The same guy has a European style template as well, but I cannot vouch for its accuracy. Fortunately there is a good source for cover art, which is the cover project. Generally you can make a decently accurate label using the cover art here. Sometimes you need to fudge around with photoshop to remove logos or other stuff that is sometimes on the cover.


For printing, I use an inkjet printer with high quality glossy sticker paper that I then laminate and cut with a scrap-booking cutting machine. After it is cut I can remove the adhesive backing along with the back layer of laminate, and it looks very close to a real SNES label. This particular sticker paper is very unforgiving, so make sure your sticker is even before touching the cartridge!

If there is anything you would like more detailed information about, let me know and I would be glad to help.

go to amazon. look up cheap printer ink. like this kind. on that page look under "product description" and look at the long list under "compatibility." Look up those printers, like the PIXMA MX922. And then buy that brand of printer with the ink. That printer in particular is only 3.5/5 stars so I probably wouldn't get it, but you can find the one that has both the price and the features you want. If you searched all the compatible printers and don't find one you like, then search for a different generic ink and check out that one's list. I ended up paying $50 for my printer, and $15 for a large set of ink. good luck!

a little late, but certain inkjet printers can print pvc cards with special adapters. you'll need pvc cards designed special for inkjet printers.

 

for example:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AVWKUJS
with
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P25H0BA
and
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072FK4RZD

I wouldn't worry because I doubt this would be permanent without a previous notice. BTW you should buy a printer for yourself. You still get high quality prints and more features, also it's very convenient.

I have this printer and I use this paper and it comes out beautiful.

Thanks Sp3cia1K for doing this!! Also give your boss a big thank you too. <3

Oh man.. Something I REALLY want, and to brag about. That's really hard because I really want a Kitchenaid stand mixer <3 but that's way out of the price. :p

Personal: I need a new pillow asap. You... umm.. should see... my current .. pillow. ^^^it's ^^^yellow

Activity: The other day on Reddit, I read that they found a new planet within our solar system. This made me want to get a Telescope!. My #1 thing I want to do before I die is see the Aurora Northern Lights.

Activity: I used to have an Instant Camera, but that was over 15 years ago. I never knew what happened to it once digital cameras came out. It'd be cool to have one of these again.

College: While I'm still in school (3 years left majoring animation/illustration! :) ), something I really need and will always have a purpose for is a printer. I need a printer that prints in both color and monochrome. I don't really know which printer is better, but here's one and two.

College/Activity: I've never had a tablet before, but maybe this Fire tablet will help me pass the time between classes or even help me finish my classwork with.

Canon or HP are respectable brands if you get a 3-in-1 ink based printer. Just know you'll end up paying more for ink than you did for the printer in the long-run.

These are the two best selling printers on Amazon. Can't be too bad:

Canon, $100: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-MX922-Wireless-Printer-Scanner/dp/B00AVWKUJS/ref=zg_bs_172635_1

HP, $70: http://www.amazon.com/HP-Envy-4500-Wireless-Printer/dp/B00CIDQ470/ref=zg_bs_172646_1

If all you need is black and white printing, though, a Brother laser printer is the way to go.

Not sure what your major is because it matters. As a Psych major, I have been quite happy with my MacBook Pro. Thing thing I like the most is the immediate boot time and compatibility with nearly everyone on campus. I had to laugh out loud during a class that I TA'd for last semester. 80 students in the class and almost every single student had a PC out. 99% of them were some form of Apple notebook. At about $1K each on average, I was staring at about $80,000-$90,000 worth of computers.

As far as printers go, YES, you will want one. Printing at JMU is not cheap. Especially if you have a major/class that requires a lot of research and document printing. Pro tip: Find a printer that they make aftermarket ink for on Amazon, like the Canon MX892 All In One . It's an older printer model but has served me well during school and it works with my Windows PC, my MacBook Pro, and printing PDFs from my Note4. (Note: I looked for it, but they aren't really available anymore. I posted a link to a newer version below.)

Keep in mind that printer failures suck so you'll likely want to go with a good brand. Most of them have gone to chipped cartridges, so finding aftermarket chipped ink on new printer models/ink cartridges may be difficult. For example, the Canon printer that the JMU bookstore sells does not have the aftermarket ink available yet because of a new cartridge design. The cost of the ink for one set is $65+.

The ink from Amazon is about $14 for four full sets of cartridges. It looks just as good and lasts just as long as the Canon name brand for a quarter of the price. It has saved me a ton of money when printing research from home.

Amazon has the Canon Pixma MX992 for $96 with Prime Shipping. HSN.com has it for about $70. I am not sure about the shipping cost.

This printer has aftermarket ink available.

I hope this helps. Good luck in your studies and welcome to JMU.
