webber Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 When Mark and I took over Rixton CPC a little over a year ago we inherited a large box of score cards which looked like they would last for ever. Our clerk has advised that it's time to get some more made; therefore I want to cease the opportunity to redesign the card and improve it if possible. Some time ago I came across a score card that was made from a paper / card that was plasticised. It didn't fall apart when it came into contact with rain water. I've no idea what the stuff is called and would like to find a printer that can produce our replacement cards on the water resistant stock. Any suggestions PW? webber www.astleygunclub.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Print normal card and seal in plastic and wipe off for reuse. Or you could try Alexanders Stationery at Dagfields near Nantwich. All sorts of card and paper there with lots of different finishes. They have more than what shows on the website. http://www.alexanderpapersupplies.co.uk Dagfields is nice for a day out as it has lots of shops and sellers.

100milesaway Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Ring up the CPSA all their score cards are weather and waterproof, i'm sure they wouldn't mind advising you of where they get them printed and cost etc,,... from Auntie.

mick miller Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Honestly, save money and use a laminated card - just run through your regular laminating machine. When they fall apart, laminate some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grrclark Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Have a look at this stuff Webber http://www.aquascribe.co.uk/aql5-a5-aqualaser-printable-paper-250-sheets-120gsm-26-p.asp You can print your own design for the score card with logo's, web addresses, phone numbers, etc and it is 100% waterproof too. I used the same stuff for a Scottish championship shoot at the tail end of July and it worked perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already sorted the design. Hope the printer will handle the material. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kermit the frog Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 You can't print onto plastic paper with your computer printer, a laser printer has a heater and the plastic will melt and stick to it , knackering the printer. Ink jet ink won't stick to the paper. We use a company called 'Hi-Standard Studios', but there a few more, ring round the bigger clubs like 'Grange, Hodnet, Doveridge or Orston and ask who they use hope this helps kermit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Kermit, the link I sent to Webber is specifically water proof paper for laser printers. There is an equivalent for ink jet printers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
