If you think he ahs too much time on his hands, I designed wraps for every NCAA division 1 team, some Division 2 teams, and all of the NBA, NHL, NFL, and Major league baseball teams!!!!!!!!!

It' s OK, real men can use pink, David Mill told me so!:D

the colors come right out of the drawing progam used.

A 6 inch long wrap 1 and 1/4 inches wide weights 13.8 grains using the bumper sticker paper. At least mine do. ;)

Rack I think they look good.... go tear up those spots...

RE: My First Crest Job
 

Rack; Thanks for sharing the photos with us. What a great Idea. I would of never thought of doing crest on the printer. Way to go!!!! ;) I have found that the color ink in my printer will run if the paper gets wet, is there a special color ink that you used? Are your crests water proof? Did you have to use any other adhesive to appy the bumper sticker material to the arrow or was the sticker material sufficiant to stick to the arrow?
I would shoot them PINK and all;) The guys tell me I shoot like a girl all the time anyways[:-]

UpNorth- I am using a HP 2110 inket Printer. I do not clean the crest before I glue. That goat-tuff seems to sink into the wrap and really hold well -(disclaimer - I han' t shot them yet so they may all fall off on my first leg:D)

reylamb - that alot of wraps there[:o][:-]

Thanks, I feel better now, If David said its O.K. Then it is O.K.[:-]

Lady - I use regular ink, and the Matte vinyl bumper sticker paper is water " resistant" . I am going to spray them a clear laminant made for inkjet photos that is supposed to greatly increase durability and water proofing. The self adhesive on the sticker seems sufficiant.

FWIW - I made up some much less " lady-like" wraps last night that really came out great.....but imagestation is down. I hope it did not go the way of Hunting-Pictures.com. When,if, it comes back up I will show you guys my more manly side:D:D

RE: My First Crest Job
 

Thanks for the info:), Im gonna try and make some when I have time.

RE: My First Crest Job
 

Lady,

If you do a search on crest wraps (can' t remember which forum) I posted this info last year sometime. Then again, the info may not be in the archives any longer, so go here to see what I did:

I used the bumper sticker paper and they adhere well, and as ong as you allow the ink to dry they are fairly waterproof.

A couple of my sample custom jobs:

RE: New " Non-Pink" Crest
 

Yup, alot of wraps, but there is a reason for it still have to work some things out first. truth be tols once you have the basic design it only takes a couple of minutes to change the entire wrap from one design to another. I work in layers with Paint Shop Pro and it really makes it quick to change everything from one wrap to another.

RE: New " Non-Pink" Crest
 

Those are awesome! Jeeze if my husband sees yours I can see it now he will have me on this puter all day making them for him, he has just got his first wraps on his arrows ( A/C Kinetics II with Photo Fusion Camo, that I got him for Valentines Day). I wasnt able to find a big selection of colors or designs on the market, they all seemed just kindof generic ,Ho Hum looking, not like yours,but I guess you solved that problem. Hey thanks for the info and the link, I appreciate it.:)

RE: New " Non-Pink" Crest
 

As I have never used the wraps before....I have a quick question. Do you just overlap the edges when you wrap them or do you cut them??

I might have to look into these!!
