Gamecube Printing Width 1/8" Short of OEM Case insert

[schmidt5364]

Hey All,

Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but I'm printing on Legal sized Paper (red river 50lb matte double sided----looks amazing!), Printing out of Microsoft Paint, 100% scaling, smallest margins possible, centering Horizontal and Vertical (Just to be sure).

But when I compare my printout to an OEM Insert from another GameCube game, the height is the same, but the width is an 1/8 " short.

Can anyone think of a reason why this would be?

I've linked some photos for reference below, any assistance is appreciated! (I couldn't attach any photos directly to this post for whatever reason)

Seems to be that cover or template maker has decided that to be the correct size.
Probably so the cover fits to A4 paper.
Difference is 3.2mm, so 1.6mm per side so it should not be noticeable.
Or you can of course increase the width to 101% before printing.

More likely the difference between an official GameCube case and a ‘standard’ dvd case

Yeah, GC art is slightly longer than DVD/PS2 etc art.

Arseen Sheep2001 and marioxb,

Ah very good to know that! Yes I just printed a new cover with 101% width and that fixed the issue the width is exactly the same as an OEM Gamecube Insert. Thanks so much for the insight!
