Need a little help with a cover...

[dneill]

Ok, so I'm on a Mac, and when I try to print this cover - http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=12944 It comes out giant size.

I usually print these on Legal paper, and change the Scale from 31% to 100% (Or what ever the scale starts out with). For for some reason this particular cover is much larger then the others.

Anyone have an idea?

It all depends on the application you're using.

I use Photoshop CS5 > landscape > scale to fit > print settings for quality

Well I'm just using the "Preview" finder on my Mac. Should I try printing from a different program?

I think it's one of those screwed DPI covers.

Try scaling at 32% while printing.

Got it. I'll give it a try, thanks!

Yep, DPI is 96 so 96/300=32%. Should print perfectly.

Or just change the DPI to 300 and not have to dick around with scaling

This is NOT the way to print at the correct scale. This will just scale it up or down to fit the page, which will be too large in this case

Yep! I changed it to 32%, and it printed out perfectly. Thanks!
