Printing on 8.5x11 without borders
AppleQueso:
You aren't gonna get UGC's to print on regular paper at all, so don't even try it.

I never get why people try to skimp on paper. It's arguably the most important part of the process. Even a cheap-ass printer can do a decent job with nice paper.

I tried using legal sized paper and it printed the right size but the colors come out looking faded whenever I print any large images, not just the covers from the site. Red looks more like pink, black like grey, etc. I think the printer does this to conserve ink, but even if I set it to the best quality printing it still does it.
Looking online, this printer (a Samsung CLP-315w) doesn't have good reviews for its print quality. I'm guessing my best option would be to go to a place like Staples and hope whoever is working doesn't have issues with printing copyrighted images.

Nice paper in the proper size is hard to come by. Legal sized paper, as far as I can find, comes in plain white sheets, and plain white sheets that are composed partially of recycled paper. No gloss, semi-gloss, or matte finish that I can find.

With a lack of Paypal and legal paper, I was unable to come across bulk cases. So a simple solution, boxed genesis titles. When an image (Like NES titles) are printed on 8 x 11 in preview with "fit to whole page" unchecked, I managed to use an 8 x 11 sheet to cover the entire genesis cover. I'll post pics soon. :P
