Went to Kinkos to have these printed. My Bluray case sizes are 12.5mm, after printing, I attempted to put them in the cases and they are too big? Did I print these wrong? I told them not to scale. What is the best way to print?
Edit: I did split the PDF before print, could that be why?
I’m not 100% sure - but I think many of the blu ray covers knocking around may be for cases with 14mm spines.
Looks like I’ll have to adjust then lol. But it’s weird because the spine looked center and to fit.
Years ago, to try to make sure my old custom dvd covers were the right size, all aligned up correctly, and the cover itself looked ‘ok’ - I used to do a test print on my old home printer; I’d copy my image file to a MS Word file and then select ‘draft quality’ settings on normal A4 paper, and print it, then cut it out to size and fit it into a dvd case.
Think it saved me a few £££’s on the ink (as well as time and effort) I’d have wasted otherwise 😃
Will actuall try this! Great idea.
Here is the image (orange outline) white she is flip side of a standard blu ray cover. This is how much it over sized.
Oh and the part at top right that looks like it hangs over, it’s just bent up, it’s actually aligned.
Definitely a bit more than 1.5mm in difference on the spine size there mate 😉
I used to have a couple of issues with the size of my dvd covers bring too small when printing off from MS Paint back in the day before my MS Word file ‘trick’ - but never had a problem with it printing too large a cover.
Hopefully it’s just a one-off mistake by the printer lad at Kincos?
