Need some help with a sizing issue on a few covers for the UGC's.  I downloaded the Megaman X2 and Megaman 7 cover for custom case for the SNES.  When going into the page setup to print on a legal size paper i choose Landscape and check both boxes for Centering (horizonal and Vertical) and then for Scaling i check the Adjust to 100% normal.  When doing that the page will not print correctly.  The preview shows the upper left corner and thats it. The size of the picutre is 3366x2100. I Printed the Megaman X custom Cover this way just fine.  Any ideas?

I believe it as easy fix as adjust the margins to minimum.

I think i may have it, i was able to mess with the scaling  and it may fit.  Just weird that some are fine and others arent when they are really the same size.  I've printed a bunch of different ones in b&w and will cut them out later to see what one works

ANd sure enough, none of my test prints worked!  Any idea why they dont size correctly for some and others do?  I tried the margins at 0 and then it automagically adjusts but that also doesnt work

Go to the properties and see what the size is in centimetres (or inches, but I prefer CM).

Post the measurement here.

Also is the DPI definitely 300?

Or try printing from different program.

I found before i seen your post that the issue was the DPI.  The ones that didnt print right were 120.  I changed them to 300 which were really only like 5 outta 70 and they printed good!
