Hi, I've always visited and read the forums at TCP, but I only now made an account. Until now I have enough money leftover that I can start fixing up my game collection. I just want to know what I need to get started. How do I print out the stickers for N64/GBA games? Using what? What kind of paper should I use with UGCs? Size? Any recommendation for a good printer to use to print them out? +anything else I might need? Thanks! Any recommendations would be helpful. |

Any recommendations would be helpful. --- End quote --- 1: I'd say semi-glossy sticker paper. Laser printer I think is better for this. If you use Inkjet do laminate the labels so the colors keep. 2: I use Semi-Glossy Photo paper from HP. A4 if you are European, Legal if US. 3: I use cheap Canon printer, quality is good. You don't need anything fancy, I'd say paper qualirty is more important and that your settings match the paper that you use. 4: Research and THINK CAREFULLY and decide will you use UGC's or double wide DVD cases, you are pretty much comitted after picking one. Same goes to CD/DVD/BR games (Full height DVD case or halfsize case or poly case) and DS/GG etc games (US DS cases or EU DS or 3DS or Poly case). |

I searched amazon and the hp website and couldn't find any. |

Thought you were a spammer. Very sorry. --- Quote from: Lilscoy22 ---Hello there! I've been lurking a lot on this board, and finally decide post! First off, amazing job on everything here! This website is so great for collectors and non-collectors alike! Seriously, it's so great to see a community of gamers come together to help each other out for unified hobby! Anyway, I guess my question is for Arseen. I thought I'd post in reply here, as it was relevant. Thanks for posting shots of your collection and the info about using double wide DVD cases for games. I finally decided to starting printing and casing, and chose the DVD cases as my way to go. So I just have two questions for you. Sorry if this has been repeated. I've tried to search the forums but I feel like I see mixed answers from people. Question 1: Which games do the double DVD cases work best for, in terms of fitting the cartridge and not having to modify artwork size? Question 2: Do you think these DVD cases would work? They say 27mm, and look the part. If so, they are pretty cheap at 60 cases for $20. http://www.meritline.com/27mm-6-disc-dvd-case-black-with-2-trays---p-20503.aspx Again, thanks for everyone's help, advice, and artwork on this site! -Lilscoy --- End quote --- |
