How do I do it? I have a high res image I made....when I go to print it says cropping may occur.....actually then I accidently made a smaller one and its too small. Can anyone help?
Not a bad idea, it would cost you less in time, that's for sure. Only problem would be copyrighted images (if you have any on the cover) as most of the kinkos type places balk at that. If that's the case, bring an extra 20 bucks for the starving college student manning the print area.Uh, wait... One -thousand- covers? What the hell do you need that many for?
Anyways, if they're all identical, maybe you'd be better off doing a professional small series print run. Most printing companies probably would also cut them down to size for you, I think.
There is no way to print a full sized cover on an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. You'd have to use 8.5 x 14 (legal) paper.
objection!
actually, I do this all of the time with regular dvd case artwork and here's how.
ok, so you say you're using photopaper. so, what you need to do is tape another piece of regular paper to the backside of the photopaper with a small piece of scotch tape (which is adhered mostly to the regular paper), so that it's offset as shown in the crappy ascii art below:
CODEfrontside backside
+-----+ +------+
| | | pp |
| pp | +--##--+
| | | |
+-----+ | rp |
| rp | | |
+-----+ +------+
pp = photopaper
rp = regular paper
## = small piece of tape
