Printing Issues

[kytim89]

I had a friend print out a few Wii covers for me and when he printed them the out edge of the cover was cutt off. The Wii logo and about half of the cover is missing. The paper is on a standard 8.5 x 11 paper, so what is the deal? Any solutions?

Perhaps the covers were printed in the landscape format and not the portrait format found in the printing preferences.

The problem is you printed on 8.5 x 11. For something as big as a DVD cover, you want to print on legal sized (8.5 x 14) paper, with borders set to minimum (as well as making sure page orientation is set to landscape, not portrait).  Unless your printer can print borderless, but that you have to specify as well, and most printers can't print borderless.

Why can't people bother read the boards a bit.
 Lazy people.
This question is asked so often and is even mentioned in printing guide at our site.

I have printed Wii covers on 8.5 x 11 before at Staples and had no issues.

I'm sure the printers at Staples can print borderless. If your printer can't, it won't work.
