What size do inside art prints need to be if im not touching the spine and just having two separate inserts? Also whats the best way to print them and does anyone have a good site they use?

Finally does anyone have ideas for Hunger Games, In Time, Drive and Rise of Planet of Apes internal art in this way? Cheers

Alright people any thoughts of these images for inside V for Vendetta

Leaning on this one

or, mainly

The only problem with this one is there is the art creaters signature riught where the hidef upload thing is but that would show up in the inside :/

OK, Here is my V for Vendetta. Only my second spine modded steel. Still perfecting the removal of it so I did add a small crease but of well, this had a paint chip or two anyway

While I did like the first image more it just was not working out the way I wanted it to.

Sorry to bump, but any recommendations on the size of prints for each separate side and how to print them? Found images that will improve the steels i have but dont want to attempt the spine

Cheers
 
Nice work mllNY and Munstarz40 :scat:

the templates we use are here just use the sides if you dont want to do the spine ;)

Just print them at 50% for the double or 100% for the standard:)

Cheers man! Thats a small project to try, lets hope i dont destroy my HMV Drive!! No change im trying for the spines on these, may practice on an old one in future but may be safer to not try at all!

Any recommendations on the printing? Good materials etc? I only have my works printer to use :D

Finally decided to get my feet wet and tried out a few. Not as nice as most of what you guys have done but hopefully I can get better over time.

Immortals NL

Cheers ive used the old magic wand tool in photoshop to just have one side and im going to copy the image for left then right separetly on to the template and print at 50%. Should hopefully do the trick for me?

First effort Only printed on normal paper aswell to try it out. Gonna flip an image over and move Mystique to the left. Normal paper looks fine under the plastic tbh but will buy some better quality stuff!

Edit: cant reverse the Xavier image or he'd be using the wrong hand to point to his head and my sad pathetic OCD self will not allow that :D so reversed Mystique so they go from the centre outwards
