Quoted from jackal2001:If you take that 400 dpi image and put it directly into MS Publisher, it is exactly 3" x 5.5". No modification needed to the size. In photoshop it reads 3" x 5.5" at 400 dpi. If it comes out the wrong size for people, too bad. I always design my cards in photoshop and then print from Publisher.
Correct, I didn't re-do the image. I wanted to see if the text portion was better and you said it was.
No one reads the cards anyway, it is about getting rid of the damn ugly yellow card. So I'm not worried about the yellow on yellow issue.
I'm done messing with the cards for now. Like I said there may be an issue as my TRON LE with the metal apron needed different size cards. After I get my game, I work on them again.
I figured out how to resize the 400dpi picture to get the right size for me. I don't have photoshop or MS publisher. Just MS paint and a cheap picture viewing program. The pic downloads as 1600 pixels wide....take that at 400dpi and that figures out to 4" wide. I don't know if that is due to pinsides file limit / compression or what, but as I said...I got it resized correctly.
The image looked fine either way (120dpi or 400dpi) so that was all good. The text did look noticably better on the 400dpi when printed out. Before printing it wasn't noticable, but after the print...the text looked much better and the letters didn't seem to run together like some of them did in the lower dpi version.
I also agree on no one reading the cards. Instruction cards are pretty pointless with the complexities of modern pins. The yellow text also looks great even with the small bit of same color mixing.
I had never heard mention of the cards being different sizes on different Stern aprons. I have a Spider-Man with a metal apron and the cards that came with it are 5 1/2" x 2 15/16". So pretty much right where you have been making them.
Sorry if any of my comments, questions, requests or opinions rubbed you the wrong way. You've done a great job with the cards and think I would have my "keepers" for my Wolvie LE narrowed down to "xmen_team-2.jpg" and "rogue_instructions2.jpg" but it sure would be nice to have that Rogue card with the 400dpi text.
If I were a Mags LE owner I would go with "magneto2.jpg" and "test400.jpg".
