Laser Warning Labels: A How-To Guide

[CrazyMonkey]

I did the exact same thing
However using gloss photo paper will make it look much better.
there is no grain, and the tape has no gaps, make it look perfect.
Now only if there was foil labels for inkjet printers somewhere...

Great tutorial.

However, I would like to point out that there is a spelling error on your label :shhh:

I'll post my labels here as well.

These are professional alterations. I took the original concept and modified the signs to reflect the colour of the beam.

enjoy. These are vector files and can be scaled to full placard size or small for flashlights.

These are infinitely sizeable.

I see what you did there. >.>

I've still got SVG support on my list of updates for the label generator. Just a matter of finding the time to do it.

I don't use gloss paper since it tends to be much thicker than regular paper, and thus doesn't stick to curves as well. That foil looks cool though.

here's an alternative for foil labels, in silver or gold. I use the silver, downside is that there just a little thicker than a real foil label.

I wanna thank RA_pierce for this idea!.

When i read this thread a year ago by the time it was posted i told to myself this would be one of the first things i would do once i start to buy my lasers

And finally not long ago i finally could... didnt do it before cuz i was missing a decent printer with color ink LoL, and i was lazy to go a computer rent place.

Anyways i pretty much did the same of what RA suggests except i didnt want to pay like $20+ for a spray adhesive so i used some sort of autoadhesive paper u can print on (dunno the proper name) and here are the results!:

Warning label designs are pretty general but until i come up with something better, these will do :yh:

Thanks again RA! :thanks::topic:

I printed a label from a google image and tapet it on my keychain-laserpointer with tesa. I dont mind if the informations on it are wrong. I just did it because i think the laserpointers looks more dangerous with it. No matter how dangerous a cheap keychain laser for example really is, it only looks so dangerous because of the warning label. and also a laserpointer without one looks like if there is something missing. like they forgot it. kinda uncompleted
