HighInTheMtns Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Nice work Jaycamm!I do have a question though. Is there anything I need to know about printer settings for this? I took the .jpg file on a USB stick to Kinko's and it came out the full 8 1/2 x 11 size. I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to make it fit better on an old Weller 12 bottle.Thanks!It would be cool if you could make this a vector image.

jonhalter Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I copied it into a word doc. Double click on the pic and then grab a corner and shrunk it down. Dont remember specifically how much I shrunk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I needed to make some adjustments to reflect my ratio, but I saved a copy, made my tweaks, and then in Paint went to Page Setup (before printing) and played with adjusting the scale down to where it would fit on an empty ETL bottle (don't recall what the ratio was, but just good ol' fashioned trial and error got it done!)

Virus_Of_Life Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I hope those using the site's name have cleared that with The Boss. I kind of doubt this has been done, so I'd highly suggest everyone cease using the name straightbourbon.com unless it has been explicitly approved by the owner of the site, the name is trademarked.

That's probably an important point. It did get Christian to leave the Scotch section for a minute..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weller" is also likely to be trademarked. I would guess that the assorted scoundrels and delinquents using these label are not living in fear over their brazen defiance of copyright laws. :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while you are right, it's likely nothing will come of it, we've held firm all along that the name of this site is not to be used without specific approval, which to my knowledge has only been done once for a bottling. It just comes down to simply thinking things through thoroughly before acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
