Artist's Corner > Universal Game Case Covers
I need some help with printing these UGC covers (did it wrong at Office Max)
AxelSteelBMX:
I cut out all of the molding in the UGC except for the two straight pieces at the top and bottom; this seems to hold the NES carts just fine for my liking.
I use an Xacto knife very carefully. There's a couple of ways you can do it. The easiest way is to trace around the base of the molding you intend to remove with the cutting edge of the knife multiple times, pressing slightly harder each time until you basically cut the whole thing off like it was warm butter. It ain't the fastest way, but it's the easiest way. After a while, being familiar with it, you should be able to basically just cut it off in one go. I find that there is a minimum of edges left this way, and is pretty smooth.

Wow, so a dremel is not even necessary? And this sounds cleaner. Isn't it harder this way (like say, if you wanted to alter 25 UGC's, that might take awhile)?
AxelSteelBMX:
Yeah, the first few times it'll take a while to become accustomed to (especially separating the rightmost molding from the wall they're connected to). But after getting used to the process, I can cut out around 15 (max) in a little over a half hour. As long as you've got a sharp blade and you're very careful with your hands, it works very well. Just remember to give your hands a rest after a little while to avoid fatigue and accidents.

What do I do if an image is 299 dpi? For whatever reason, the pokemon puzzle league and bio freaks verticals that I have are in 299 dpi. If I want it to print in the correct size, do I have to change any settings?

The print might come out just too large, so try printing at scale of 99%.
But this might make them print out too small.
check which vcomes out better.
