Thanks for this app. Works great. Hopefully one day I'll be ready to print my labels; however, a lot of work to do on my 100B before that day comes.

larrypinck - My 100B is a wooden box and a load of components at the moment, so I have a lot of work to do too! But glad you think this will be useful

PatrikD - Can you send me a sample of the file you're trying to upload? I'll pm you my email address, just send it over so I can see what's going on.

Cheers,
Phill

Very cool you made this title strip program. I have looked for a reference to paper weight to do this on. I saw a comment that the 175g stuff was probably too thick for the backlit jukeboxes, which I have.

Any advice or does anyone know the weight of the stock perforated paper that is available out there.

Edited: After a thorough internet search I am going to go with 28 lb paper for my title strips. I found a company which sold pre-printed title strips and actually listed the weights of their paper and had 2 available. They recommended if you had a backlit jukebox to use the 28 lb.

My Wurlitzer has smoked glass in addition to being backlit, so I really wanted them to stand out better.

I've used 175gsm on my Wurlitzer, but it's a combination (part backlit, from below and part front lit, from above). I suspect if your machine is completely backlit that it may be a bit heavy - especially with your smoked glass.

Copier paper is horrible - never use it! - but please let me know how you get on with the 28lb paper. That's about 105gsm, so it's heavier than most premium papers but doesn't really qualify as card (copier paper is usually between 70-90gsm depending on how much you spend). It should light well but not curl/deform.

Good luck!

I will keep you posted. I was glad to find at least a company addressing the situation I have. The paper I ordered is acid free too. My jukebox is new to me and you really can't see the insalled title strips, which most were a perforated hand typed.

Phil I also had some 48 lb  matte honestly I got plenty of light, the 28 lb is just too thin and didn't really let more light through.

Are you planning to offer more Font/police choice ?
And possibility to choose font for title and font for Singer.
Any way to upload our personal background ?

[robbytherobot]

And paper size, in Europe main paper size is A4 21 mm x 29.7 mm.

Hi Robby,

Adding A4 paper is simple, so I can do that for you easily. Selecting different fonts shouldn't be too complex either.

I'm interested, what backgrounds would you like to be able to select? Is there a design I'm missing, or are you adding your own custom art?

Thanks,
Phill

[phillg]

OK, I've added A4 paper now, so that should work - please test and let me know if it works for you. Remember to print with zoom set to 100%!

If you can tell me what you're trying to do with a custom background, I can see what I can do for you!

Cheers,
Phill

A4 works fine, thanks.

For background, I sometimes do my own, but is it possible to use a photo/image instead of the basic background ?

I mean if I gave you a scan of original title strip with not plain background, can you had it ?

[phillg]

Sure, DM me and I'll send you over my email address. Send me a copy of what you're after and I'll see what I can do for you!

Cheers,

Great little program! Thanks for designing it and offering it up for us. I like it better than some of the other ones I've tried. It's easy to use. The RETRO font looks really similar to the labels that came in my Rowe R-86, that I think has been out of service since the early 90s. I like how the titles (especially with parentheses) wrap to a second line when needed. One thing that might be cool to add in the future is the option for the publisher and publisher ID in the bottom right corner. Might make the strips look a little more authentic. Either way, it does what it's supposed to do, and it does it well!
Cheers!

Glad it's useful for you! It shouldn't be hard to add the publisher and ID - let me find some examples online and I'll see about adding it.
