Title: my covers always come out slightly too long and too tall!
Post by: Jason Delaney on July 06, 2009, 01:26:52 PM

I've been following the guide for Photoshop printing, and everytime I try to print a cover in this case a 360 game, I come out about 1/8th of an inch too long and slightly too tall. What am I doing wrong?

First, I would check to make sure that my printer driver (HP in my case) is not stretching the image to fit the paper.
Before you print, be sure to check the printer properties. (In mine, there is a box marked 'scale to fit' - I uncheck this box.)

I have that unchecked as well. I had all settings identical to the FAQ for printing. I'm guessing there's something else in my printer configuration that I'm not sure about.
