When I would print at staples the file had to be a pdf, also I had to be sure "fit to page" was NOT checked.

If I brought in a bunch of jpg images to the store on a thumb drive, they would need to convert them to pdf prior to printing.

Check the image resolution. A number of covers on this site were created using pixel dimensions, which makes no sense for anything intended for print.

What you’re looking for is an image that is 72dpi and has massive measured dimensions (as in WAY over 8.5”x11”).  If you find that to be the case, then simply adjust the resolution to 300dpi without resampling it. This will bring the size back to what it should be for print.

Maybe their software is trying to actually print at 72dpi (which would make zero sense, but...).  That would definitely blow up a 300dpi to the point of absurdity.

UPS has printing locations and for the most part they don't care about that whole copyright thing. I even found one who the employees thought it was super cool that I was printing SNES covers to house my games.


I have covers for most Disc based games. Let me know if you need something scanned.

I am not having a problem as I did fix it but because I get charge 70 cents I dont want to waste my money if it is wrong size for the ps vita.

So I was just curious if it stays at 300x300 resolution for vita cases or do I need to manual lower it that's all no issue more of a double check so I don't waste cash on a wrong size cover for the ps vita.

First off, it’s not “300x300”, it’s 300DPI (Dots Pet Inch).

Just make sure to check that  the physical dimensions (mm/in) match an actual Vita cover.
