That looks great. I’ll print one of these out and try it in comparison to the other one.
Sure. I should be able to do that tomorrow. Anything in particular you want to see?
just general detail, esp text/logos. also the inner cover for ESB (with the At-AT art) since that seemed like the lowest quality file
Ok, I tried to do this with just my phone camera, but I think I need to pull out my real camera to get you what you need. I’m sending what I came up with so far anyway.

Please do share if you end up doing that. I’ve made several of these, but I’d reprint the covers if there were higher res ones.
Thanks!

Oh shoot, sorry, I misunderstood your question. Yeah, that’s about the DPI I got too. 2395px wide, a little less than 11" = about 220dpi.
Any chance you could post some detail shots of your prints so I can see what the quality looks like?

Oh. I went low tech on that.
In Windows 10 I just did right click, print on the cover image from file explorer (NOT the photos app). Unclick fit picture to frame, set page size 8.5x11. Click options -> printer properties, so now you have access to the full printer properties. Make sure to set borderless off. That seemed to print out the right size for me.
Well sure, I know how to resize it. But usually artwork for printing should be at 300dpi, so I’m just wondering why these are so much lower

Are you talking about the Bluray case covers or the outer box?
The case covers

I’m planning to make a set of these soon, but the files that stealthboy provided seem to be smaller than they should be (about 221 dpi when scaled to the correct cover size). Has anyone had issues printing them or am I doping something wrong?

Wow, those look fanstastic wombat_94! Glad my source files helped. You really executed well on that. Excellent idea on adding the star field to the slipcase!
I’m totally stealing that USB “stolen data tapes” idea 😃.
Ok first of all, fantastic work stealthboy and wombat_94. I’ve been fiddling around with making these myself for several weeks. I’m to the point of building the box, and I used 3x17mm criterion cases and 1x14mm case, because I had to go with the 25GB versions, partially because the download links for 50GB didn’t seem to be working, but also because I think 3 discs per set looks awesome, and also because I went with glossy printable blu-ray discs which look AMAZING, and I could only find them in 25GB.
Anyway, I’m having an issue printing out the box cover, because the spine seems too narrow. Stealthboy, I’m thinking maybe you shared the 4x14mm version, which I think is for the 50GB disc version? Or maybe there are 3 disc 14mm criterion cases that I haven’t been able to find, and that’s why my box set it too wide. Or maybe there was another version of the box images that you didn’t upload to the Google Drive share?
Wombat_94, I really like your starry field version as well (or if anyone can provide those images who got them from him at some point), and it seems clear that you and I are using the same box and case dimensions, so I’m thinking things will fit right. I don’t even need source files, I think the final images would work fine.
Anyway, I’m this close and I’m getting pretty excited, just trying to work out making the boxes right now.
