  Printing on Mylar
  Has anyone tried printing on the underside of mylar, if so how do you reverse the print. I want to use wrapping paper as my background and print the words on the Mylar but on the backside. Anyone tried it.

  Hi all, I have an old button maker( at least 10 years old) with no name on it. I can’t remember where I got it.It’s all black cast iron. It has a top die, ring die, crimping die and a base die. on the base it has 2 1/3 stamped on it. I think it might be a badge a mint but not sure. I want to make some badges for Easter but I don’t know what size shell, mylar or back to order. If someone can help me that would be great.

  Mylar: 0.002” vs. 0.003”

  Aside from the obvious thickness difference, what other things are different between 0.002” mylars and 0.003” mylars?

  I’m mainly interested in:

  - The glossy-ness of final product (button)
  - The look of final product: do they look the same? If not, which looks better?
  - Durability: does the thicker mylar protect button design better?

  Basically, I’d like to know if they both produce the indistinguishable buttons.

  BTW, I just registered today but been visiting the forum for awhile. I’d like to thank ABM for creating this forum. I’ve seen many blogs and tutorials before, but this is the first forum I’ve encountered and it’s FANTASTIC!!

  I see a lot of posts about fabric buttons. I’ve never tried to make fabric buttons, but I’m getting interested. Can you list some of the items that is good for fabric buttons? I have a 2.25″ button maker.

  Another question…Would you really want/need to put the mylar over the fabric? Wouldn’t it look nice to have the fabric only sow and not be all glossy?

  Additional information would be great.
