    Help! I Want To Print Custom PS3 Covers But Can't Get The Size Right.

    I have a ps3 cover art image with a front, back and spine that I am trying to print. I messed up 5-6 times already and it's really frustrating me. The image is 72 dpi. My printer quality is 600 by 600 dots per inch. I uncheck the option to "fit picture to frame" like I am supposed to but I am still not doing it right.

    1. What is the proper dimension (width and height) in pixels and in inch for printing ps3 cover art?

    2. What paper size should I use to print? (Legal, A4, envelope 8.5x13in, ect...?)


    Before someone types GOOGLE. Yes I tried googling and hitting up different forums but I'm still messing up. Am I doing something wrong?

    We need to know which PS3 it is. There's been three different dimensions.

      The current one or the most common one.

        I know I'm asking for too much but is there anyone kind enough to tell me what are the proper dimensions in pixels for all 3 ps3 cover arts that bigbob mentioned the ps3 had? I know one of them have to work.

          For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than to Google it for themselves.

            I googled it already like I said on the first post that's why I am came on here for a last resort help, I researched hard into this through google, even tested out some of the dimensions people recommended through various forums but they're still not printing right. Just to be clear I even posted on multiple forums asking for help but no one seems to know or care to help.

              Here is the image I am trying to print. It's a custom cover for Red Dead Redemption. How would you guys print this image? What would you set the pixels and what paper size would you use?

              Dimension:
              Width: 3300
              Height: 2550
              Horizontal resolution: 300 dpi
              Vertical resolution: 300 dpi

                Those dimensions look like it's the right 8.5x11 ratio for a sheet of paper in landscape, just larger, so borderless and fit to page would be my guess.

                  Are you sure those dimensions are right? I'm limited on glossy papers and only have 2 left and I can't afford to waste them so I wan't to know a "for sure" setup that someone would use. Also I tried 8.5x11 but instead I unchecked "fit to page" cause I read somewhere while googling it wasn't recommended.

                    Looking at it again, you probably need to save the file and open it in a decent image editor so it prints at 300 DPI instead of the default like 72 or whatever it is.

                      The image s already set to 300 dpi in photoshop. My printer quality is 600 x 600 dpi is there a way to change printer quality to 300 dpi? Not sure is 600 x 600 dpi printer setting will do.
