scoopet Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Does anybody have a George case paper label loitering in a workshop drawer that I could buy? All the best , Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIN Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 If you Google "George case concertina label" you will get a picture of one that you can edit and size yourself, I have done it with lachenal then laminated it and stuck it it the little window and it looks fine, I have also blown it up to almost A4 size and had it printed on a t shirt (yes it is sad), Vin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrtle's cook Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi Scoopet There are a good range of source images for the approach Vin suggests to be found amongst the Concertina Museum's photos of George Case instruments at http://www.concertinamuseum.com/CM00183.htm Incidentally there is an excellent paper on George Case and the English Concertina in the latest Proceedings of the International Concertina Association, available either by subscription (which is good value) or online at: http://www.concertina.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/PICA-10-Final.pdf Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLucas Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thank you but I don,t have a printer!!!!!!....... Don't you at least have a friend or neighbor who does have one? At worst, one of our other members who lives in Devon might be able to print one for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopet Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 My experience with printed labels is that they don,t look very good as the contrast isn't,t good enough. This is based on some Wheatstone labels I saw a few years ago.... I,m sure technology has much improved.... But is it possible to produce one now that is identical to an original? If anyone wants to take on this challenge with their tech skills........I,ll happily donate a tenner to the RNLI if one is produced!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDF Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 If you down load the image onto a memory card /stick,cd or such like and take it to a print shop/ photo shop/library or any one with a reasonable laser printer I think you'll find the results can be pretty good and can be sealed for even more durability.But it does need to be a laser printer not inkjet.With ordinary paper inkjet printing tends to dye the paper whereas laser lays the printing medium on top of the paper more like a proper print.Not great for photos but not bad for labels etc. I drew some bellows papers last year and laser printed them in an office laser printer and was very pleased with the results.David.
