I have a UPS about 2hours away I go to every now and then when I have 30-40 covers saved up. A guy by the name of Travis works there and he is one awesome dude. All I do is bring in my Hard drive with the file that has everything separated by cover size and he does the rest. He even did a double sided print job for me for a PS4 game that had a reversible cover. --- End quote --- I've tried ALL of the shops around me that I can think of; Kinko's, UPS, FedEx, Office Depot, everybody's been real sticklers about it... Is there any place where I could upload my pictures online, so they might get printed automatically without someone in-person noticing??? The problem then might be that it'll print wrong because I probably won't have any input on the DPI settings, etc... |

Unfortunately even if you use their online store and have the correct dimensions someone is required to review every print job prior to printing. I learned that as I tried to do it through office max one time. I guess you really just have to get lucky like I have. Gotta find that passionate person who is into it as much as you are. I even brought back one of the covers he printed for me so her could see how they turned out because he was afraid the art would crack due to the thickness we settled on. |

What's the price per print come out to be where you go, and what all kind of paper did you guys decide on? And since you've had so much success, would you be against including my batch of covers during your next trip..?? |

As a retro gamer who likes his collection on display I stopped paying attention to the price point long ago for prints. We settled on 10 pt cardstock and I print 2 of each cover. I print one on regular cardstock and one on glossy photo quality card stock. I pick which one I like the best and then i file the other one away in an accordion binder that I have sorted by system. I do have to cut them myself which I use an Omnigrid straight edge, a rotary cutter and self healing cutting mat (wife is a sewing, crochet, knitting etc crafter). I currenty have 23 printouts I need to do and am waiting on a few to come through from Arseen for a few of my SFC games. Also waiting on a few Sega Saturn Games to get moddified to have a silver spine like this one: http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=12147 The gold looks phenomenal and the overall design looks much better than what was released in the us: http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=9431 I was hoping to get my brother in law to print them for me and bring them down when they come down for my Son's birthday on the 11th. Depending on how many you have and how much you are willing to pay for shipping and such we could work something out. Like I said I stopped paying attention to the price of prints long ago due to my mentality of a collector. I am going to do it anyway so price topped be an objection for me. |
