Hi, Zesty - thanks for replying to my question. I've spent a little time playing with this again but this time using the double-sized template. I'm able to print it well enough, but the image is just a tad too small for the case - after cutting it you can still see the steel behind it. I've attached my second attempt - could someone take a look at this one to see if they see the size issue I mentioned?

Also, is anyone seeing pixelation as well?

Thanks,
Matt

Your image dimensions are 1,200px × 740px and the dimensions of the double size template that I have are 1566px x 966px. Are you using this for a jumbo size steelbook or regular size? I use the smaller template when printing for regular size steelbooks which is 783px x 483px and when I print, I print with borders and I uncheck Fit Picture To Frame.

If your getting pixelation try resizing the picture using Bicubic Sharper parameters if your decreasing the size and Bicubic Smoother if your increasing the size. I wouldn't increase the size more than about 10% otherwise it won't matter what you do, you'll get pixelation.
