| Printing N64 Covers for UGC's |

| LordXaero:
Hey guys. New guy here. Before I ask my question, I am sorry if this is in the wrong spot. Afterall, I am new. I'm having trouble printing cover art for my N64 cases. I select a cover, download it, and then right click on it, and select print. Go through the print steps, and then finish. The cover fits, but its not filling the case. Like, the art doesn't fit the whole case. What am I doing wrong, and is there an easier way to print so that the cover art meets all corners of the case? Here's a picture: See how the art isn't filling the case? Thanks, and once again, sorry if this is in the wrong spot. :::Jeremy |

sounds to me like the printer isn't printing at the proper dpi. I don't know if I can help much (I'm not too knowlegable about these things), however, I'm sure it'd help anyone else trying to help you if you were to tell us the brand and model of your printer and what size paper you are using. |

It might be resizing the image to fit on the page. Does your printer support printing in the margins? Try with legal paper? |

When you printed the cover did it fit on a normal 8.5" x 11" paper? If so your computer automatically resized it. UGC covers do not fit on "normal sized" paper. --- Quote from: Symptoms0fMercy on October 09, 2008, 08:13:13 PM ---It might be resizing the image to fit on the page.

Make sure when printing that the aspect ratio is 100% |

This has been gone over before but my recoomendations are: Open a word processor like MS Word Import the image into a doc. make sure the paper size matches the paper in the printer and that it is set up for that size Resize the image on the page to 280mm x 180mm [that's the size I printed them at anyways] Print the image. Make sure that the printer isn't set to scale the image Voila ...one correctly sized cover. Save the doc so you can use it as a template and just post the next cover over the top of the first one and reprint. |
