All covers on the site should be print ready (either sized to US DS, EU DS OR 3DS case, see cover description) and will print out 300DPI.
Check the DPI before printing if it says 300 and you paper settings (orientation & margins set correctly, fit page not chosen, scaling at 100%) are correct just hit print in paint.

Cool, I think I have enough color left to print off one as a test. Good thing my printer can do borderless printing. I can use regular 8.5x11 to print covers =p
I ran out of ink doing custom work. I was putting GB games in CD Jewel cases, then ran into an issue of fitting GBC games into them.... This was last summer/fall before.
EDIT***
Had enough ink to do 3 prints at 300dpi.
Beautiful! The paper makes the difference. Truly does.
I'm using HP Brochure Paper 180g glossy on an HP OfficeJet 6100.
Gonna have a lot of fun printing these off!

Hey larryinc6, how's this look for a Zelda 1 cover?

I was actually able to make it on Mac OS X's Preivew app. I don't have Photoshop so it was a bunch of cutting and pasting, but with your template it actually looks alright, a lot better than the thumbnail, actually. Luckily the box arts are the same color, otherwise there's no way I would've been able to make that. It's kind of Frankenstein of your Zelda II boxart and the RAW scans of Zelda 1. I'm gonna see what I can do with Majora's Mask, but I don't think that one is gonna turn out so well.
Thanks again for the other boxarts!

I know this may be the wrong thread. I google and ebay'd to no avail.

So shrinking the covers to fit within your template get the front/back cover closer to their original aspect ratios? Or is still shrinking them, but they still look "ok"?
EDIT: Moved my covers to my post on page 23
