I don't want to have to deal with anyone there if I do not have to. |

That's probably your best bet, Just make sure they're all the same res and dimensions. |

I've had minimal luck at Staples. I've tried their self-serve, and it ALWAYS rescales it. I tried printing just a jpeg by itself, and it will only rescale. WHen I try and "print" it as a pdf then print the PDF, their self-serve machines completely remove all formatting options. Once the girl working there offered to just print my stuff for me at self-serve price, but the other two times the other person working said she wouldn't due to copyright. I just go to the UPS store now for printing. $0.40 a sheet, never any headache (one of the girls working there always like seeing what I've got, and the guy there has a super mario tattoo, so they just don't give a shit about copyright) |

You might be able to trick the formating software. Try putting your cover on a background that fills out the rest of the page. So your "image" fills the entire page. That way nothing should be getting cut off or extended. |

It's based on page size, not content. Unless you know exactly what the machine is trying to do, you've gonna have a hard time "calibrating" the image so to speak. |
