I need help with printing/replacing

[maxsims]

Ok, so I have two 300dpi (3236 by 2173 pixels) Wii covers that I'd like to print. Is it okay if I just click on print without playing with the printer/printing settings?
And if you have tips on how to replace box arts on Wii cases (or putting them on DVD cases, but I don't have any at the moment), your help would be very appreciated. Thank you so much!

lot of these covers aren’t the correct size for a perfect fit when you save them. BEFORE taking your cover art to be printed, make sure to open your file(s) using some photo editing software such as Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. Irfan View is free and will get the job done. In your photo software, resize the image to about 7.5″ X 10.8″ and 300 dpi. Make sure to deselect any feature that will constrain the proportions of the image and that should give you a nice-looking piece of cover art ready to be printed.


Also, I must stress that you use legal-sized paper on a color laser printer (some places have a nice glossy laser paper that works really well) and make sure that they use a similar photo editing software to print your cover art. The reason I stress this is because most copiers have built in margins and will clip your image even though it should theoretically fit on a letter-sized sheet (8.5″ X 11″) and if they use the bushleague Windows print wizard, it will “automatically center, flip, crop and/or resize your image to fit the media” and you certainly do not want this. Once you print your sweet new artwork, insert it in the appropriately sized and colored case and you’ll be good to go!

Also, my suggestion is to lighten the image a bit before you print it, cos it tends to be a lot darker on paper than it is on the screen, at least in my experience.

This.

As for the printer settings, if you're not using a standard type of paper you need to choose the one you're using in the options. I also recommend that you set the print quality at the highest possible setting, especially if you're printing on glossy paper.
