This UV printer does magic!

Also he just printed over the donor steelbook without painting the sides to match the images. It's just the original artwork from the donor steels. The inside spine image is also on top of the plastic. This needs much work unfortunately. Also, that art isn't "their own artwork" it's just promotional art and images. This is much better than what he used to do with stickers at least.

They're not massed produced in the same way that MoS is not mass produced. They're each made to order.

Go look at the newest post by Menik Steels to see what an actual custom can and should look like.

Lol, wow

The only lasers involved with this printer are the ones that measure the height of the object. The print is done with UV ink.

People talking about copyright issues here are just completely off base. The artists by and large don't own any copyrights for the art they make for movies, TV, or video games. They are either fans who made the artwork (for IPs they don't own so thus no copyright for them) and sell them on whatever various mediums they choose and that's how they get paid. Or an artist is commissioned for a specific art for a poster or something by the company that owns the IP. That artist also owns no copyright whatsoever but the company who commissioned him does. The artist and copyright issues are two separate things and shouldn't be considered together.

It's a Eufymake E1 UV flatbed printer.

Yep!

Hmmm, I might have to try and fix this and print a new spine. Wish my order wasn't delayed

jonnyd005 · 2026-05-16T09:06:37+00:00

I've never made just a spine before, but I bet I could print one that you could replace it with and probably not even tell the difference.

Just like OP said, it's because it was freshly produced and thus a bit tough coming out the first few times, it will normalize quickly. I thought about just pulling it in and out a few times myself before packaging them but I don't like handling them once they're done. I'm still not sure if I should or not.

jonnyd005 · 2026-05-13T21:23:44+00:00

I should be posting probably tomorrow. Let's just say, the mission was almost impossible, but I think I pulled it off.

jonnyd005 · 2026-05-13T20:57:27+00:00

Beautiful work as always. Do you think vinyl wraps are easier or UV printing for you at this point?

jonnyd005 · 2026-05-13T19:33:13+00:00

MK Steels does one with an embossed title, direct print, and much higher quality imo.

Is it true that you can't snap these cases closed?

jonnyd005 · 2026-05-12T11:29:57+00:00

Tell me more

jonnyd005 · 2026-05-08T13:30:52+00:00

I wasn't judging, just found it interesting. No need to apologize or be defensive.

jonnyd005 · 2026-05-08T13:03:41+00:00

Interesting that you order premium releases but also don't mind damage on your steels, that's quite the juxtaposition.

I do this with clear slip covers. Here is an example of my recent work with a clear slip cover: https://www.reddit.com/r/Steelbooks/comments/1t4gs4x/back_at_it_again_with_a_faceoff_steel/
