Your Vgboxart Printables

[Pan]

Have any of you guys tried trading in a game somewhere with your own custom cover on it?

I have. They never really say anything, sometimes they just take the insert and trow it away. Bastards.

[Pleiades]

I unwittingly traded in a game to Amazon without putting the original cover back in its place... they sent it back.

Bastards.

Indeed.

Printed out a (modified) Dark Knight cover. The original doesn't seem to be in the database. I can't find it. \: So I don't know who's it is. Sorry.

My own Batman 89.

Did you take the barcode off the official back and put it on your psd. one? Cause when they scan it, it will pull up the other game's barcode if ya didn't.

I believe I changed all aspects of the cover, template information included, which is why I found it so curious that they returned it.

Need more red cases.

Boxes + Printables

Need more red cases.

Hot damn, they look awesome. Especially all together.

[Bastart]

Awesome series! and yeah I agree, the red case does give it a more naturel look.

Before I start to print more regularly, can anyone recommend the best paper for the job. Sorry if the question is asked before, but i just want an update if any better quality paper is released.

Also, thanks a lot Bastart for the program, it worked perfectly. Although I didn't have good enough paper it get the best quality image.

That depends of your printer, the quality of paper it can accept, the amount of ink you are ready to use.

For example, I have an inkjet Epson Stylus Photo R200. I love it. I can print at 300 dpi on glossed paper, plus it can print directly on printable CD. Since it consumes a lot of inks at high quality, I print only the best covers. Sure, I have refill kits, and even it's a lot cheaper than buying epson cartridge, I avoid printing as much as possible. Then, with a good cutter, a metal ruler and a cutting board I can make flawless box.

I try to avoid buying glossed papers from big brands like Epson or Canon. I prefer to buy generic from Staples for example: same quality, much cheaper. I don't believe when they are saying you must buy their brands only for their printers only to maximize quality. All they want is to maximize their profits. I printed hundreds of pictures, and unless I mess up with the settings (it happened yes), well I was never disappointed with the quality of my generic ink with my generic papers.

^^^ Looks so darn official!

The only small personal nitpick would be, that the spine logo at the bottom looks a bit cramped :/

[Throavium]

I noticed that, but I wasn't willing to use more ink to print out an edited version. Ink is expensive.

I understand. It's just a bummer when you notice such a small thing after printing the cover.

This might be a noob question but whatever..

so I have a Heavy Rain (PS3) video game and I would love to print out this cover to replace the original one. I have a Hp Photosmart C4480 printer with just plain white paper.

Would you recommend getting a glossy paper and printing the cover myself or going to Office Max/Staples and printing the cover there instead?

The kind of paper I always use is glossy text. Regular paper is fine too, but you really notice the difference when they are side by side. Also, related to the topic I just printed this out, it's on plain paper:



Nothing custom about it, I just wanted it with my 3DS collection.
