Thanks for posting the photos of your variation. Your darker color scheme is starting to grow on me! It enables the lighter "shift" colored labels with good contrast.

That's something I fiddled with quite a bit, which took me down the path of darker shades of green. Might as well just go to the black color, or something very close. I think that would still look OK on the while body of the HP 39gs. Maybe if I expanded the label size a bit more to cover more of the face and extend closer to the edges?

Or as they say, "better" is the enemy of "done" and this could be done enough for now..

Glad to see this was useful for others.

Hello again!

I am resurrecting this old thread because I am revisiting some of this template stuff, in the interest of possibly trying to create my own template for newRPL for the HP Prime.

I just have a question for you on your Cricut machine - which model are you using, and what type of cutter do you use for this type of work? I am looking at purchasing one, but was curious which one you used for your template cutting work.

Thanks!
