| OhhNoYouNintenDidnt:
Hello all, I know some of you deal with and have quite a few reproduction SNES games, or repro's in general and you may have seen that recently that I have decided to delve into them for the first time. I had seen pics of the ones the guy I went with had made and they looked great but I just wanted to see if the issues I have with the ones I have had turn up are things that often happen/inherent of getting them made by semi/non-professionals. So, the games play great and the carts are legit donours with nicely made, sized, positioned and stuck on labels.........but then boxes have a lot of what I can only describe as "bubbling". Seems like an ink issue? although surely these would have been laser printed so that doesnt make sense.........so could people who own some of these sorts of things, or perhaps even make their own, have a look at the pics below and tell me what you think before I go back to the guy. My instincts are to have a bit of moan and say they are not up to scratch but again, I just wanted to see what you guys thought and if these kinds of issues are just the way it is with these sorts of things. Cheers!..........ohh, and the first 2 pics looks fine of course, just wanted to show all 3 together but then there are close ups of the issues I have from there. |

First thing that pops to mind is that they are printed on thin paper that is then glued on to card stock... and the gluing is done shitty. That or the cardstock just can't handle the amount of ink the printer is using, ask him to reduce the print quality just a bit or find bit sturdier cardstock (one with thicker white side). |

PM me where you got these. Those boxes are pretty bad. My guess is he is either using a label sheet placed over cardboard or (more likely) he is gluing paper onto cardboard. He either used too much glue, didn't pull it tight enough or the paper he was using wasn't thick enough to properly absorb the ink (probably crappie inkjet). |

Overall lazy job. Look at the "made in japan" legal text. He didn't type that info. It was cut from something and just used the magic wand to get rid of most of the old color. |
