How exactly do I print out the case for Link's Crossbow Training with this exact color quality? http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=4270
I printed out on my own printer and although it looks great for the most part, the colors are lighter and you can see small faint red lines.

There are plenty of places. Fedex Kinkos, Office Max's Copymax, Staples... Pretty cheap too. Note that some stores won't let you print them because you don't own the artwork/trademarks etc. on the covers.
-
The only one of those stores around here that I know of is Staples. If I go there, would I have to bring the actual cover art I printed out and ask for a reprint or would I have to use a computer of theirs and reprint it?
-
Put the files on USB flash drive or the like and bring it. Should be about 50 cents a print.
-
I don't have a USB flash drive :-\
Would a regular floppy disk work? Also is there a way I can modify the printing sizes there? Like 8 x 10, 10 x 12, etc?
-
Staples and Fedex Kinkos won't let me because it's "copyrighted." Any other places?

You could try to go on a different shift (unlikely to work since all workers probably got told the same thing) or get The Cover Project's admin, Snowcone to help you out as a last resort. PM him and he might, if you have PayPal or something like that. He did for me a few years ago.

Avoid the BIG stores and try and find a SMALLER PRINT COPY STORE around you. That is what I did after being DENIED/REJECTED at a BIG STORE due to copyright laws.
After being denied, I did hours of research online and found out that if you OWN THE ACTUAL, PHYSICAL GAME OR COMPUTER PROGRAM, then the copyright laws code Section 117 allows you to make ONE backup of your game and associated instructions & materials. Furthermore, if your use is personal only and archival in nature, you are afforded exemption under Sections 107 FAIR USE and some court cases even say Section 108 when doing so for archival purposes only and when another copy of is not readily available in the market place or out of print.
After printing out 200 pages and armed for arguing at the next copy/print store manager, I drove to a small shop local to me and they reprinted a new Game case Artwork cover and manual NO QUESTIONS ASKED and I didn't even have to show them any of my print outs !!
So go SMALL, LOCAL STORES for your best luck ! ;)
