Hi guys,

I went to Staples last weekend and printed off 80+ covers, but the only cover that did not work out was the Yoshi's Island NTSC custom cover as seen in this link:

When trying to print the cover balloons in size and prints on several pages. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

How do they print it? Measure the other covers and tell them the dimensions to print it at, or scale to one page, they should be able to change that.

Scale to 24% in the print menu.  It's a wacky resolution issue that many of the covers on the site have.

This cover should be the correct size now. The cover image size was 118.75 cm x 74.08 cm at 72 DPI.

I just made a few small changes to the colour of the cover because I think that the original cover looks too light.

Thank you guys for your help, really appreciate it!  :)

Will go back sometime this week to finish off boxing my SNES collection with this game.

Mel, I really like how you spruced up the cover, will be using your version when printing.

The covers are supposed to be 300 DPI, so if the program can change the DPI, set it to 300, else scale it down to 24% (72/300).  I'd open all covers in a paint program or something to check before having them printed.
