Hello everyone! I'm new to these forums as I am planning on buying my first set of A40's. I was just wondering what finish my custom tags will come in. I have looked through some of your photos of custom tags and I have seen a flat and gloss finish. But I can't seen to find anywhere to select this option in the tag customizer.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

So for the custom tags, anything that's printed on them will result in a paint being applied to that area and add a sort of textured surface. The only parts that are glossy are he original tag finish, so people have achieved a glossy look by utilizing a .png file and using the transparent portions as black. There's a tutorial on how to so this that is sticky'd in his forum, but I can't link it right now cause I'm on my iPod.

The only way to get a full color tag with a glossy overlay is if it was mass printed by Astro (like the mlg tags or mlg location tags). They use a separate printing company that only prints high volume orders of the same tag design.

Hope his answers your questions.
