Hello all,

looking to make some cases and about to order a case of the UGCs. My question is...I've heard that the UGCs have changed slightly in size. What's the general consensus on scaling the covers on this site to fit the current cases?

No need to scale, just trim a bit after printing.

This is what I do too. Others have also suggested printing at 99% scale.

I was thinking this too but you'll probably notice the difference in spine width if you have old prints.

So if I am just starting out (no previous cases), what do you guys think? Trim or 99%?

I would still say trim, as scaling can make text look bad.

99% scale won't make a noticeable change in the appearance of the text. Still, I'd just trim em short.

So small texts won't get blurry?

At 99%?  Not likely.

OK

And I guess that depends on the sofware how well does the sizing.
And I'm talking about the miniscule legal text BTW.

99% is like nothing. You'd need a microscope to see the difference. ;D
2 + 3 = 23
