I think I have been struggling a little bit with my covers. I think that my red is not strong enough. I'm not sure if it's supposed to look this way on InkJet or if the retail version will always be so much stronger. But the ink was bought at Office Depot, I put an image of the printer label up. I have the one they said to get at Office Depot. The other thing is getting the sizes right. I used a MacBookPro and almost all of the programs such as PowerPoint ask for a lot of money, so is there any free one I can use? Click here for a Mario Retail Comparison Click here for PS2 Retail Comparison Here is the label of my printer http://alturl.com/d476y I think my Mario cover is bleeding in red a little. what do you think? Would it look better if I got the sizes right? Should I just settle for what it is or do you think it should be better? |

The colors seem washed out. What paper are you using? |

I think that your covers may be lighter due to the type of paper that you are using to print your cover on. I am sure another person on this form can provide you with more information on how to get the best results with printing your own covers. |

''Premium Multipurpose Bright White Color.'' The guy at Office Depot said it's a very good ream quality. Also have you heard of NESCOMPLEX? He's big on the Cover Project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a40Wts21Ucs His NES games seem to look pretty good. He says he uses the cheapest ream of paper and that print quality isn't even that important. If you guys can help me, I would really appreciate it. My first batch of covers was not great, I did them for my shelf, but I'm willing to try again, but it has to be done correctly. |

That Contra cover looks washed out to me. To get around the washed out look, I will adjust the red on the covers, so they're brighter, since reds and blacks stand out the most when colors are washed out. Either that or get better quality paper, which I know can be difficult, since legal sized glossy paper is hard to come by (read: impossible). |
