[Jukebox-list] Copying jukebox interior labels?

[Don]

Assuming you can't already buy the labels you want from a vendor.
As a printer, I would use a program like CorelDRAW or Illustrator to 
recreate the label and print a few hundred and be done with it.
TIP:  If you can use one of these art programs, make two labels side by 
side. One for one type of juke, the other label for your second juke.
Ask your printer to take your "two-up" art work and step it for his print 
master and bingo, for almost the price of printing labels for one juke, you 
get labels for two jukes.

But, if you get your own printed, you get to pick exactly the paper you want 
them on.... for that nice new look..... and.... if you have them left in 8.5 
by 11" sheets you can run them through your home laser printer (with 
practise lining them up) and get gorgeous crisp black lettering in your 
choice of font.
Oh yea, ask for them to do a proper old fashioned press run, not use the 
colour copier to print them. That way you get real ink, not colour toner. I 
figure the ink will last longer without fading in the flourescent juke 
lighting.
Have fun.
Don
