Keyring Equipment

jamesdublin12

Hi there.
I am looking to get a printer for printing the keyrings and all teh supplies in all that... Can anyone recommend where i get all this from or any experiences they have??
I have a digital SLR and studio lighting, but Im doing keyring photos for charity and want to get the printer and the keyrings etc... like what you see in nighclubs (only a bit more profession). So equipement needs to be portable.

Can anyone help???

Do you know where I get the stuff for cutting the paper up. they look a bit unrealiable to be honest.
Think business venture. - think them sheets will be expensive to reknew.. and god knows where to get them.

When I did keyrings I printed on my normal printer, I just used a rotary cutter to cut. So say you get an a4 good photo inkjet then set up a template sheet where you can put your picture in to be printed. This can be done through photoshop or indesign. Indesign would allow you to just drag from bridge into the placeholder on your template. A good eye and a good rotary cutter makes cutting easy.

As for the keyrings, is it a once off where you can buy keyrings through ebay cheap enough or will you be looking for regular supplies? Do you know what size keyring to go for? You dont want them to be so big people wont want them or so expensive you will make a loss. I used to use just plain plastick 39mm x 32mm if I remember correctly.

if they images are passport sized you can buy a passport photo cutter

True as Steve says, also if you go on ebay many keyring suppliers will list photocutters too, like a punch on a handle, dont know how good they are though.

Do you need a software package for printing
