Thanks, You Guys,
I appreciated the compliments. I just really enjoy making labels so if you want...., I would be glad to see what I can come up with for you. I'll enjoy the new challenge. Send whatever material you have and what youwould like to have on a label and any details...size, colors, etc. I'll give it a try.....Ramona Edited by: rgecaprock

Peter, jobe,
I'll do labels just for fun.........

Thats it! Your doing my next label Ramona..........
I spent some time on a label that I thought was going to be just perfect for my bottles.
Once they were on the bottles, they looked Horrible!
I should have sized it to wrap around the bottle to look like a front and a back label................
I should add that I printed these on glue stock paper and printed them on a laser printer, so the print and color are much more clear and vivid that what you see here. Very pretty label, just wrong size, shape........ and color of te shrink wraps sucked too...............Edited by: jobe05

Jobe, you did a great job. They are very pretty labels. The colors are very nice. Can you try and resize it. I like the #5168 label size 31/2 x 5 inches. They kind of wrap around the curve of the bottle.
Today my wine buddy who has bought a couple of kts went to office max and plunked down her credit card and bought a HP Laser color printer and said.."here you take it to your house" I have enough printers. She didn't give it to me but it is mine to use for labels. Saturday she is coming over and we are going to bottle and label the Pinot Grigio that she bought....then we will sit down and enjoy the fruits of our labor (fun).
Keep at it jobe...really they are great!!!

Sounds like the exact printer that I got, mine (well.... works) is an HP 6500 color. Rather impressive stack of cartidges in this thing, I know that.....
Those arn't "LabelS.... It's just one label. 1/2 and 1/2, what is suppose to be the front label, and then the more descriptive back label. I made them 4 1/2 inches wide, thinking that would wrap the bottle enough, but no where near enough.......... Live and learn...... I'll have to drink this batch quickly before anyone notices
Edit: Just looked at the picture that I posted above, it looks taller than it really is. Must have changed it when I shrunk the size down to upload it. Size was 4.5 inches wide by 3 inches tallEdited by: jobe05

jobe, I see what you are talking about now. Hey, any excuse to drink wine...I always say!!!
The printer that we got today is a HP 1600 Laserjet with the "stack of cartridges". And they are expensive too. but I guess they last along time...but I don't know with all the labels I want to print. My dad is asking for labels and I want to make a collage of of all the labels I've made...so I'll be busy with this toy!!!!
Yea,....What NW said. Cut it half and glue them on!!!!!

When you print your labels on plain paper, cut them out and glue them on ...then you can make them any size....

Ramona, in my settings, this is what my signature line looks like:
"In water one sees one's own face; But in wine, one beholds the heart of another."
Edit: OOoops.... I thought it would show the tag lines to add. I'll try to type it out:
(COLOR=BLUE) (B)(I) Insert signature line here (/color)(/B)(/I)
Substitute [ ]for all ( ) Won't show up if I used them.
Just add those tags to your signature, and were COLOR=BLUE, you can change BLUE, to the color of your choice. Also note: ALL CAPS
Since we have the same, you can copy past into yours, and just change the "color=Blue, to whatever color you want. The is for bold, the is for italic print.
Thanks for the advise on the labels.
I could not imagine owning a printer like I have at work. It's great and all, but $700 to purchase then $135 for each cartridge (X 5) can get a little hefty for me. Although they are suppose to print up to 60,000 full color pages, I'm sure that may go quicker than I think. I use it for marketing at work and has made a huge impact on the material that I mail out, t was well worth the money spent.Edited by: jobe05

Wow NW! Your wine makes me list without even drinking it! I'm impressed!Northern Winos said:When you print your labels on plain paper, cut them out and glue them on ...then you can make them any size....

Nw I do not remember who used that but I tool thought it was very
clever. I like your Cranberry label, it just goes to show me that
sometimes a little less is a little more. I always go overboard with
stuff but yours just looks professional.

jobe last year my Dell color laser printer which had a built in NIC was affected by the lightning. That blew out just the network connection. The printer was about $400 new, but the cartridges were like you say about 125 each for 4 making replacement about $500 for the toner. Being thrifty, I took it in the house where it works fine as a standalone printer with about 20,000 pages of toner left(plenty for home use. I just bought a new one for the office to keep the network connection without having to share it on the network through a computer. That way I got 2 sets of toner to use, a network connection, a newer model which is faster, and an extra printer for the house-all cheaper than a set of toner cartridges.
