Hello all,
Sorry I have not been on here for a while but I have been looking in from time to time! I guess that's stalking in a way!!
Anyway, I could use some of your worldly advice please.
I have 'dabbled' in Keyrings in the past but now I am looking at going into producing them on a slightly larger scale.
The keyrings I mean are the acrylic ones where you print the insert.
Historically I have used my Inkjet Printer with CIS to print the inserts and inserted two identical prints 'back to back' in the Keyring, not ideal, but works!
As I am now looking at going into this a little more professionally I am considering purchasing a Laser Duplex Printer and printing both sides of a slightly heavier paper thus only having to cut the one insert. I hope you are keeping up here!
My questions are:
Is it worth upgrading to a Laser Printer, am I going to gain anything by doing so?
Does anybody use Photo Paper for Keyrings does this stuff provide a better printed result?
Is anyone using any special software for Keyring production? What would you recommend?
Where is the best (cheapest!) place to buy Blank Acrylic Keyrings?
I look forward to your kind advice.
Phil
