Beer labels

I am going to use masking tape, or grogtags.com for the one's worthwhile ... because I use a laser printer, not an inkjet (and I hate inkjets, and inkjet ink) ...
 
It's like $20 for 24x bottle sets ... I figure I'll order them when I make and name the recipe, I guess ...
 
There is no aspect of computers I deplore more than printers/printing ...

Boss had recommended onlinelabels.com when someone was asking for hot sauce labels. I bot some and love them. They are waterproof and I use them for both hot sauce and beer bottles.

Print with laser, or inkfuct?

Is there a program or anything that goes with it?

Yes. It is ok, nothing special. I have a different graphics program that I use, but would not recommend. These labels are good with an inkjet printer.
 
We have photoshop, so I would assume I can import the pic from there and drop it on the label program to print it out?

I have to run XP SP2 for my CAM package and the hardware locks/dongles, so there's a ton of software I can't install, and I especially don't install software that thinks about touching anything related to the LPT ports (where the locks and/or my lock bypass \m/ do their magic) ...
 
I'll pay the $20 to grogtags to avoid printing for any of my beers worth labeling, LOL ...
 
Maintaining a 12 year old software stack is a fucking nightmare =( ...

Lol we still use some old accounting software and have to set up a virtual machine on one of the computers.

Yeah, I wish I could just run it in a VM, but CAD/CAM is graphics intensive ...
 
It fucking sucks.
 
I still have XP on my OC at out office. It was for our old CAD printer. We bought a new printer, but I don't feel like dealing with the horrors of upgrading or clean installing new OS.
 
It's worse than that, too ...
 
Even if I could take the perf hit for running with the virtualized graphics, I can't get the kind of access to the LPT1 and USB that I need in the VM to run the dongle software ...
 
It's a true computing nightmare, having to buy old computers off eBay and shit to have motherboards old enough to have the right chipsets for the old CNC machines ...
 
I'm like a specialist in the old ways of computing at this point.
 
For instance ... I still install DOS off diskettes for one of the CNC's ... do you know how hard it is to even find diskettes now, let alone have them work ...
 
Bah ...
