Quick Question?
IKWYL:
Alright, so this is gonna sound pretty noobish but I figured I'd ask anyways. I've been tempted at purchasing some of the universal game cases, but I'm a little worried towards the price of printing out the cover art for a lot of my games. I have around 80 N64, Genesis and NES games and I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna be able to print all of them on my home printer due to the fact that it's my father's and he's a dick. Where do you guy's print your covers? Just from your house, or do you go to a UPS store or something, and if you do that how much did it cost you?
Doom:
I don't know anyone with a home (inkjet) printer that is suitable for covers. Only a few and you're out of ink.
Staples, Office Max, Kinkos, and local stores have all been recommended for cover printing. IIRC, it was $0.50 per 8.5x11 cover I printed at Staples a few years ago.
(still need to get those cases for said covers. :-\)

I've also managed to mass print covers at the library, only $0.25 per color page too. Not sure if most library printers have paper big enough for UGC's though, but it could be an alternative at the least. So for you that's possibly $20-40 depending on where you go. UGC's go for around $40 IIRC, and that's for a pack of 100.

I always print all my covers at home on my good old inkjet. On glossy paper it looks pretty good.
I can print around 20 to 30 covers on the highest quality setting then at least one of the five tanks goes dry. I've got a Canon IP4200.

Doesn't that prove my point? More economical to print at Staples or whatever.
