Dreamcast Cover Printing Settings

[lisalover1]

I just picked up Grandia 2 for the DC today, but it didn't have it's original cover. So, I downloaded the front and back covers for the game, as the game still had its original case. But, I need to know what I should resize the image to so it will fit. What image size should I use for the front cover, and what settings should I use for the back cover [since the back is slightly larger due to the side labels]?

The images should likely be 72, 75, 100, 200, or 300 DPI, depending on how good they are. When setting up to print, see if there's a 'use original size' or 'use original dpi' or something. Make sure you're not sizing to fit the page. The print preview should help you guage if its looks right or not.

There's a lot of free programs out there that will help you do this easily. Most of them are free trials, but a lot of free ones out there. Basic programs that just give you a frame or template to fit your picture to. Then you just hit print and the program sizes it perfectly.

I have an ancient old one that does CDs only. You don't even install it, you just run the exe file, very small program. Newer ones will have templates for more than just CDs. DVD, slims, et cetera.

If you want I can send you the program, it's only 1.5MB, just PM me your email.It only does CDs, but it's so simple to use. I've printed out MANY inserts for Dreamcast, Saturn, PS1, music CDs, et cetera. Works perfectly every time.
