Scale

[Wolperdinger]

Hello there.

I went to the Print shop with some snes and N64 templates but they seem to be in wrong size. The snes Box is now 13 x 18,5 x 3,1 cm.
But the actual size is 12,6 x 18 x 3 even though the 2cm marking line is correct. Do i have to resize it nevertheless?

Hello,
Very weird, all SNES boxes from here are actually 12,5cm x 17,8 x 3,1cm.
The resolution should be 300 dpi.
Did you try different boxes ?
Did you try to print a draft box at home with standard paper, only black ink, to ensure dimensions ?

Hi i was going to ask the same question.
I downloaded Snes Mario Kart and / Zelda and both are too large.

I have tried to resize in photoshop but having trouble.
Please could you advise the exact measurement for the total height and width of the actual flat pack template before building.
I can then use a converter called "undercoverxp" to do resize automatically.

These are the current settings when opened in Photoshop

I think the problem don't come from the file, but imprint parameters.

Here you can see picture of zelda 3 and super mario all stars, they have the same dimension (original and copy) :

I agree.
Measures I can see in the Photoshop dialog box are good.
Not need to auto resize anything.

In your print parameters, do you have something that automaticaly expand the image ?
I yes, you should disable it.

When you print image above through Photoshop, do you get 32,2cm and 27cm in output print ?
If you don't have A3 printer at home try with A4 version.

hi

yoyo and spiral are right.
its just your printshop who suck.
I had the same problem and i made many changes with photoshop(105%,etc...) cause the guy said "its your parametres..."
Finally,i asked the printer to see his parametres :/ , and i figured the proportions were at 95%.

I looked at him with a smile like "just change your job and dont waste ppl time""
I wasted like 10box and 1week just for nothing ^^'

Thanks to agree.
Any box here is at the exact same and real size, since the beginning.
If we had this kind of trouble, we should have been warned before
