Author Topic: Vinyl player 1-4 stickers $1.45 shipped (USA) and arcade sheet (Read 86137 times)

MikeDeuce · « **on:** January 29, 2006, 11:14:32 pm »

Any interest? I'm not really trying to make a living off these, but if I can afford to buy another roll of vinyl thanks to sales, my beater autox/track car will appreciate it

The price is $1.45 ea. (specifically, 1 set = vinyl stickers for player 1 through player 4 on one piece of transfer tape), shipped to the United States. Will ship anywhere, assuming you will compensate for higher postage.

If you would like to order more than one at a time, see pricing below (all prices are for US shipping only):

1 set: $1.45 shipped
2 sets: $2.25 shipped
3 sets: $3 shipped

Currently have in stock:
5 white sets, 1 red set, 6 black sets

To apply these, just cut them apart from one another (seperate player 1 sticker from player 2, etc.). Clean the surface of the button with rubbing alcohol and allow to dry. Next, peel the backing paper off, align decal and apply with moderate pressure. Then remove transparent transfer tape slowly.

I prefer paypal but will accept other methods of payment (might be a little weird to deposit a $1.45 check, but whatever

).

Please email me for fastest response at dage@pixelstorm.net with "Vinyl decals" in the subject.

I can also cut most shapes to about 250mm wide (9.84 inches) if you have something custom... please email me for pricing.

Thanks!

Did a test cut and it looks like I can whip these up, too:

based on:

I have only two available, both white. One is "weeded" and the other is raw off the cutter, meaning the buyer will have to peel the waste vinyl themselves (and save a few bucks at the same time).

This site: http://www.willyliliana.com/Mame%20Cabinet/Button%20Stickers.htm has great directions, but if you do the full sheet, be prepared to spend around a half hour and end up with tired eyes and neck

Weeded sheet (with transfer tape): $10 shipped (USA). Unweeded (peel yourself and use your own tape): $6 shipped (USA)

Trying to determine if there is any demand for custom vinyl cuts, so I can always cut more sheets... though the price of weeded ones might have to go up a bit in the future for the full sheet, my eyes are killing me!

Thanks
mike

How to: Install your vinyl decals

Step 1) Confirm adhesion of the clear transfer tape on the vinyl decal. Use your finger to push down on it, or burnish with the smooth backside of your fingernail. This is to make sure the vinyl decal will lift off WITH the clear tape for application. This is how weeded decal sheets will arrive... cut in chunks so they fit in an envelope.

Step 2) Work in a clean environment

Step 3) Clean the the surface the decal is intended for. I use rubbing alcohol to remove grease or other contaminants... make sure to test whatever cleaner you are using on the surface to make sure it does not damage it. Do not use anything that will leave a waxy residue.

Step 4) Cut out the portion of the decal you wish to use

Step 5) Remove paper backing (try not to touch the sticker like I appear to be doing

)

Step 6) Align the decal and transfer tape over the target area

Step 7) Lightly apply the tranfer tape to the area, take a step back and make sure it's perfectly aligned, because once it's on, you will destroy the decal if you try to remove it.

Step

Once you're happy, press the sticker down like any other sticker

Step 9) I burnish the decal with my finger, then use the smooth face of my finger nail to make sure all the bits are pressed down and adhered well. Try not to gouge the the decal with your finger nail.

Step 10) Remove the clear transfer tape

Step 11) Er, not really a step, but all done

And this is why the weeded sheets are a lot more than not weeded sheets... That's a dime you might recognize there.. and those little bits of red are the waste pieces of vinyl individually picked off the transfer tape one by one.

I'll take the complete weeded set and 1 red player set and 1 white player set. i would perfer blue and/or green but if not the 1 black player set too--weeded.

THX and let me know.

I'd be interested in one of those complete (weeded) sets, although looks like its now gone... any more? I would also take a 1-4p, red set.

Can you do the complete sheet in red?

Will you post international (to the UK)?

whatzcrackn · « **Reply #5 on:** January 30, 2006, 09:13:10 am »

what about these? I took them from the forum (said free use), so it is not my work but would like to some printed.

The last pic, I was wondering if wording like that was possible. ie player one, exit, start, credit and or custom wording. I know I am asking a lot but you did ask if there was an interest and I am interesed

Hi, I have a lot of red, black, and white vinyl still, so I can cut these any time. I can do practically anything within reason in red/white/black, especially if you have an eps or ai file. JPG and GIFs require a lot of manual effort, and I can get you a price quote if you have a custom request.

And I have not shipped to the UK before, but I'm more than willing to. It looks like it will be an additional $0.75 added to the order for "Global Airmail Letter Post" which should take 4-7 days, according to the US Postal Service site.

I think starting feb 1, the pricing of the weeded sheets might have to go up to $10/per... it's really time consuming with these small decals and they appear to be more popular than the unweeded ones... but until then, I'll stick to the above price.

Thanks again
-mike

1 SHEET OF EACH COLOR WATCH FOR PAYPAL $$ THX

MikeDeuce · « **Reply #8 on:** January 31, 2006, 02:15:34 pm »

Thanks guys, a bunch of player decals are in the mail and headed out to you!

I am having a little set back with one of the huge sheets like what is posted in whatzcrackn's response. My machine is having trouble with a few of the smallest characters, as they are rather complex for their size. I should be able to tweak a lot of that sheet to make it work, but also I might have to move into selling portions of that sheet seperately, as the full sheet takes a very very very long time to cut and weed, so please stay tuned.

In the meantime, I have PLENTY of player 1-4 stickers available in red, white, and black. And I will continue to cut the smaller variety sheet as shown above in white (price will have to increase to $10 for the weeded version effective tomorrow, as it is taking a *huge* amount of time to weed these. But I will honor all $8 orders until feb 1, and they will be available in red, white or black as well.) The full sheet will require a little more experimentation to optimize it for my cutter though.

I've got a cutter also, and I find sometimes with those small cuts (I assume on the corners it pulling the vinyl up on you) if you can slow your cutter down, it sometimes helps. Sometimes also if I lower the cutters pressure, and cut twice, it sometimes also helps.

Hope this helps out.

Thanks a lot for the tips -- I will give it a go, although cutting a big sheet twice on my little machine would probably take over an hour, doh

Ah, excellent glad you will post all over!

These things look great.

I don't have anything custom at the moment, but I'll bear it in mind. I'm mainly interested in that sheet you posted a pic of in your second post in this thread.

I'd be after say a set in white and one in red, preferably weeded. How much is that with UK postage?

Thanks!

MikeDeuce · « **Reply #13 on:** February 02, 2006, 12:52:16 pm »

Yep, I just had to figure out postage and pick up the appropriate stamps

UK shipping is an additional $0.75 US to the total price.

Chris · « **Reply #28 on:** February 23, 2006, 08:24:51 am »

I think the better solution to the "big sheet" problem is to separate them into small sheets. The big ones have jukebox labels, DDR labels, convertible joystick labels, arcade labels... and are those Transformers icons? The odds of someone actually needing all the labels on the sheet are pretty low.

I'd like to see, for example, a set JUST for jukebox labels (gee, wonder why)), a set for the common arcade icons, and then the special-purpose ones on sets of their own.

I would like to second this! I think you have a great thing going here. If I could buy a sheet that had arcade control specific items I would be in. In particular I would be looking for labels for a lot of the admin buttons like coin up, exit, pause (see that in one of the sheets), etc.

I can't speak for Mike, but my guess is that he could accomodate those possibilities mentioned above. You guys (or somebody) should come up with some 'smaller sheet' files and post them here to see if he can do them.

MikeDeuce · « **Reply #37 on:** March 06, 2006, 12:58:03 am »

Purple wasn't on the list, but I'll see if the funds allow for it!

I'm investigating one more line of vinyl, as well as a local supplier (it seems to take forever and costs a bit to get it shipped directly from the manufacturer).

Other than that, I am expecting Blue/Green/Red/Pink/White/Black/Yellow and now, hopefully purple. Any other colors? I'll revamp the thread when stuff comes in with the new designs and everything.

Thanks!

MikeDeuce · « **Reply #38 on:** March 07, 2006, 02:33:18 pm »

Just an update, new vinyl has been shipped. I ended up adding purple to the list, so I hope a few more of you folks can use that color.

So to confirm, in about a week (or whenever it decides to arrive) I will stock:

White, black, red, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink and purple.

I'll have all the new decal sets up before the vinyl arrives, as well.

Thanks folks!

MikeDeuce · « **Reply #39 on:** March 14, 2006, 10:50:24 pm »

Got the new colors in!

I have to chop down the yellow/orange/green/purple/blue as they are too big for my cutter, but it will have to wait until this weekend (can't run my saw at night here).

The diet pepsi/red happ button/dollar bill are there so you can reference them when judging the new actual shades of the new colors... tried to find some common objects around the house.

whatzcrackn · « **Reply #40 on:** March 14, 2006, 11:25:07 pm »

Or our we looking at the same ones?

MikeDeuce · « **Reply #41 on:** March 14, 2006, 11:37:40 pm »

Ahh was just about to send you a PM. Still working hard on them, I've broken out the sheets into chunks that make sense, so they can be priced a little lower, and so people only have to buy the ones they like.

Working on all the "reversed" type of button designs for translucent buttons from the other thread.

Adding a few of classic game character vinyls as well (this is taking a little while), most of which will have very modest prices. Not really for cabs specifically, since this isn't side art sized, but for windows, cars, whatever you want to put them on.

Also have the complete PS2 and xbox button sheets (including single color OR color coded ones for the xbox buttons).

And everything should be ready to go this weekend, around the same time the vinyl is cut and ready to use. Sorry about the delays, but I am making some additional changes that I think everyone will enjoy

Thanks!

So do you have anything new Magic Mike? I am still in need of the letter sheet with the labels around the buttons, never heard back on the them, actually it was the whole sheet. (ie the one that was emailed to you from some user)

eccs19 · « **Reply #55 on:** March 31, 2006, 01:48:16 pm »

Mike, just wondering, what is the max size that you can cut? (sheet size) From the sounds of it, you machine is perfect for doing small things like your doing. My machine is a large machine that can do approx 20" rolls. I thought it would be good to mention that if you have a request that is to big for your machine, someone could PM me, and I may be able to help out. If someone has small stuff they want done, ask Mike, as I'm sure his machine is MUCH more suited for it. Mine is better suited for large stuff.

MikeDeuce · « **Reply #56 on:** March 31, 2006, 04:07:30 pm »

Thanks NiteWalker and tahnok100!

I surely do hope to keep everyone satisfied

Hey whatzcrackn, I can do an underwrap set like this for $5 shipped:

For the *huge* sheet I think I have to ask $25 shipped fully weeded. It really is a looooong job with a lot of small, complex pieces. When it is broken up into chunks its a lot better because it's really the two sets of under-button wrapped decals and the two lift and turn 4/8 way decals that drive the time up on that sheet. PM coming, too.

Yep, you're 100% correct, I can't cut anything larger than 10"x39" at a time. So you are definitely the man for the big jobs!

Just do me a favor and don't let the ladies know you have a bigger one than me

I'm actually suprised. I didn't think your machine would do sheets as big as that. It's not nearly as bad as I would have guessed. That should keeep you going for a while I expect.

I don't think there are that many ladies on this site, so you should be OK.

I surely do hope to keep everyone satisfied

Hey whatzcrackn, I can do an underwrap set like this for $5 shipped:

For the *huge* sheet I think I have to ask $25 shipped fully weeded. It really is a looooong job with a lot of small, complex pieces. When it is broken up into chunks its a lot better because it's really the two sets of under-button wrapped decals and the two lift and turn 4/8 way decals that drive the time up on that sheet. PM coming, too.

Mike, just wondering, what is the max size that you can cut? (sheet size)

Yep, you're 100% correct, I can't cut anything larger than 10"x39" at a time. So you are definitely the man for the big jobs!

Just do me a favor and don't let the ladies know you have a bigger one than me

hey mike, I am looking for button labels like the ones above, I need various ones (26 in all) raning from fire 1 to exit, volume, pause and so on. Please let me know how much and what other info you need. thanks

Mike sent me some underwraps and I applied them to my cocktail cabinet's administrative buttons. This was on wood with multiple polyurethane coats. They went on easily and look professional. I hope this inspires more to do the same.

Transaction was smooth, quick, and exactly what I wanted was shipped to me. Thanks Mike!

I got a set of4/8 way stickers for my t-stick+ dust washers and they look great. If you get any go with white as I ordered black and you would not be able to see them so I painted the dust washers white and it turned out great. Thanks Mike You da man

MikeDeuce · « **Reply #67 on:** June 06, 2006, 11:58:00 pm »

Looks great! Sure is easy to read.

Also a minor update:

Got some more supplies in today (needed more red, white and black vinyl), including "chrome silver"

Usually chrome vinyl is said to only last about a year, outdoors IIRC, but this stuff is supposed to be fade resistant for 5 years. Sad part is the stuff costs 2x as much for 1/2 the amount of material, so this is a special option material and the price will be higher for items using this stuff. But I'll base that on the amount of chrome vinyl used per jobbie, so feel free to PM or email me for quotes.

thanks!
mike

OK, looks like this thread is EXACTLY what I'm looking for... anyway, I need 16 different stickers for my cocktail cab... each player's control panel has 4 admin buttons and I want to label them. There are two "player 1" panels and two "player 2" panels - they will be identical except for the start buttons. This is I guess what I'm going for but I haven't worked out every detail yet (this was just a quick mock-up done in MS Paint!):

Any opinions? THANKS!!

MikeDeuce · « **Reply #70 on:** July 18, 2006, 05:51:51 pm »

Hmm... when it comes to icons/text labels, I usually like to stay consistent when it's in/on the same region/plane, but that is a tricky situation with the small buttons. And "Player 1 Start" or something similar wouldn't work with the space, either. Maybe "Start", but the little guy shape is hard to top.

Well, I'm no help, hah.

leapinlew · « **Reply #71 on:** August 08, 2006, 12:25:02 pm »

Mike,

You still doing these? If so - how much for a weeded set of stickers?

MikeDeuce · « **Reply #72 on:** August 08, 2006, 03:58:00 pm »

Hey hey, yep, still makin' em. Prices are the same from day 1, and are listed on this post:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=49291.msg479699#msg479699

P1-4 set is $1.45 shipped and the variety set is $10 shipped (for a weeded sheet).

thanks!

MikeDeuce · « **Reply #74 on:** August 14, 2006, 04:17:44 pm »

I'll do pretty much anything the machine is capable of

I've done a bunch of sets with straight text in custom fonts as well, so if you have one in mind let me know and I'll get you a quote (for easy stuff like text, prices are usually close to the default set).

Do you sell the single player CP's? I've been looking for a simple CP with plexi glass. No Paint, no artwork. I would drill my own button holes and mount the joystick myself. (Undecided about what arcade parts to use)

Thanks.

Mike,

I think it may be time for a summary...hard to weed through all the information on this thread.

Can you list all the sheets you are doing now with pricing? Maybe pics would be easier. Or would you rather us send you a list of what we need and you tell us what the best way is to get it?

It might be best just to update the first message in this thread to keep it current.

Anyway...just a thought...you can tell me to "Take a flying leap" if you like. I'm just finishing up my cab so I will be ordering shortly...

Darren

MikeDeuce · « **Reply #92 on:** December 11, 2006, 06:59:50 pm »

Frank: I can't apologize enough for missing your earlier request. Please feel free to PM me in the future, or email me at dage@pixelstorm.net if I have another lapse. PM is on its way.

And if anyone has had trouble contacting me in the past couple weeks, my computer had gone down in a most inconvenient manner, requiring the replacement of several components that I wasn't planning on replacing for some time. :\

I'm finally back up and running, though, so sorry for the inconvenience!

And Darren, no flying leaps necessary -- I'm really horrible with keeping all this organized. That, and most orders these days are custom, so it's really hard to keep track. In short, I offer anything my vinyl cutter is capable of producing.

I have a couple directories on my web site that display some of the custom sets folks have ordered (if anyone doesn't want theirs so public, let me know):

http://www.ironvulva.com/vinyl/
http://www.ironvulva.com/vinyl/discs/

But I really do need to make a basic catalog of decals to keep it simple for those that are new to the thread/forum/hobby. Now, just to find the time

Hoopz · « **Reply #100 on:** February 21, 2007, 10:12:09 am »

I don't know if it would help or not, but I have an extra sheet from an order I placed awhile ago. I can check to see what exactly is on it after work.

I do know that I had asked for white text with the following labels:

Power, mouse, exit, pause, coin, coin, coin, coin. Maybe something else too.

If anyone would want them, I can send it out for no charge. In the link Mike posted with proofs of his work, mine is listed there under my user name if anyone wants to look at it.

May not be the best for all but someone may want em. And it may be a solution until Mike is back. He was great to deal with and I don't want to take business away from him at all.

Good news (for me... hopefully you all don't disagree), I'm still alive.

Bad news, I suck (or something more profane) at keeping everyone updated when I get slammed at work and home.

Feeble excuse: It was one of those everything happening at once moments... too busy at work, cars breaking (yes plural, yes rustbuckets, yes simultaneously) at home, and it all totally snowballed. I kept thinking after each week it would return to normal, but you know how those things go (or can understand, I hope).

In short, I really should have *at least* stopped in here to let everyone know that I hit a really hairy patch (ew?) and might need to take a short break. So if you hate me forever, I'll understand

I'm not sure when things will get back to normal as I'm still going a bit nutso here, but this busy streak won't last forever. It's been so long since I've even been able to do a fun project

And I have a ton of unanswered email (and an agressive spam filter set), so if you don't hear back from me soon, please do me a favor and send me some hate mail to let me know I missed you.

Thanks, you have my most sincere apology!

P.S. Thanks for letting them know I'm not too big of a scumbucket, NW and L42!

Thanks!

Anyway, I sent you an email a few days ago finalizing my order from a few months ago. My cabinet is coming down the stretch and I'm ready to hit the send button from my PayPal account - just let me know where to send the money!

Thanks a lot!

Has anyone heard if Mike's schedule has gotten back online? I sent him an email, still a little early for him to respond but curious if anyone else has heard from him since he posted his "I'm still alive" post a few weeks back. Doesn't look like he's logged on since then.

If not, does anyone know anywhere else to have this kind of thing printed or any other good solutions to labeling buttons? We're finishing a cabinet here and really need something clear for the function buttons.

javeryh · « **Reply #114 on:** March 27, 2007, 05:57:33 pm »

I heard from him on the 14th via email. He said he was finishing up a project and would be able to get my order out soon. I'm just being patient - I'm happy he does this at all and I imagine he is constantly getting swamped with orders. I'm nearing the end of my cabinet construction (just have to paint it) but I can always add the button labels down the road... hopefully he will free up!
