Nuts well I guess matte legal sized paper is my future then. I like the way they come out anyway. I'm sure semi gloss would be sick but luckily matte still works |

Try out printing small samples to see which option is best. Sometimes telling your printer what paper you are using is good enough, but not always. |

What do you mean by "don't use the most print-rich option?" What options exactly are you talking about? I'm sure that information will help me down the road when I get started. |

If I use high quality print with normal paper the paper will be so soaked in ink that it looks awful, thus I use Normal option. Or did when I used normal paper. Now that I use photo paper using normal would cause the image to be nearly invisible due to low ink usage. So I either use high quality print or tell the printer that I use semi-gloss photo paper. For some reason on other covers one gives better result, but on others the other results better quality. |

Those are good tips. Have you guys also modified your UGC's so they fit NES games? I'm doing mine right now and boy do they get messy. It can't really be helped though and i just do the best I can and let the foam inserts raise the NES game up so it fits more snugly. Do you guys have any tips for how to do this modification best? I'm using a dremel and have done 10 so far with another 15 to go. |
