UGC cover size?

[SNES]

Hey guys...

I think I have been a bit stupid. While waiting for my ugs's I decided to print about 20 covers, but they do not fit. Can anybody tell me if the dimensions are off on the site or....? The covers are a bit too long.

Thanks.

New UGCs are bit smaller.

I print in MS Paint, change paper size to legal and margins to .8

Okay, so the cases are only a bit shorter? The hight is fine?

Is it possible to get the measurments in cm?

The sleeve is affixed slightly more inward. Just trim about a half MM extra from each side and you're good to go.

This.

I don't print out UGC covers any different now, I just trim a millimeter or so from the left and right borders.

Alternatively, you could print at a 99% scale.

This is what I do and it works perfectly.

Does the re-scaling affect the image quality in any way?
It's quite annoying that they changed the case properties, perhaps if everybody complains, they will change it back to the original

Thanks guys. I just took 5 mm of the lenght, it works fine.

I do have a couple of additional questions.

Do these cases have a tendency to curve inwards on the back? Because all of mine do. By the back I mean the side where all the plastic parts are located for holding the games. I hope you get what I mean.

And I have noticed that the covers I print tend to "bobble/crumble" on the middle section of the cases. Perhaps I should use a different kind of paper, rather than standard?

All my UGC have the same curve you describe. It's only annoying when you try to fit a thick manual as the slight curve eat a bit of space under the cartridge.

For the paper bobble, I am guessing you are using bubble jet. Perhaps a more glossy paper with different printing settings would help, but I'm not an expert at all. I switched to laser color which is surprisingly cheap nowadays.

Thanks mate.

I have no idea of what you are talking about regarding printers, I am not that rechnical.
I will try a different kind of paper to see if that solves the problem.

I would really like to know if anybody else have that "curve" on their cases?

I think he meant that if you use too thin paper with too high ink setting the paper gets soaked and warps when drying.

Use Semigloss photopaper for good result.

Thanks Arseen, that makes a bit more sense.

Do you have UGC's?

Thanks Arseen, that makes a bit more sense.

3 I think (that have come with boxsets.
So far I have used Doublewide DVD cases, but now I'm holding off for Onioncases or similar.
