hey guys just wanted to update yalll.

I went and got the rear art inserts printed at fedex/kinkos and they fit very well and look amazing.

---BUT when i set them up next to my other sega CD games the hue of the blue is very different than the originals.  Not just a little, but quite a lot.

Is it possible that fedex/kinkos store uses laser printing and these would look more accurate to the original colors on a ink jet???

Anyone else have this problem with sega CD printing??

I changed the name to "SEGA CD Longbox Cover thread"

I like the title you came up with but this naming is more in line with our other cover threads  :)

They will never be 100% the same. The best solution is for everyone that prints these to take photos so that the cover artists can attempt to create an approximated balance between the retail colours and the newly printed versions.

Evfen if you get the colors exactly right on the template, every printer has a different color mix, so you are right, it will never be 100%. Not even real retail covers are a 100% match.
