My hope would be that someone altered the CE versions to make them include the technical data from the UE versions.

I had some free time today and made a cover for The Hire from BMW Films. However, I do not know how to post it somewhere for everyone can download it. Can anyone help me out with this? I also have American Pie UE, and a Coen Brothers Collection Box design.

DVD Talk Hero
If anyone is interested in an alternate Buffy Season One cover for the 3-DVD cases, there's a nice high-res scan of it on DVD Cover Art.
Here's my question:
I've tried printing the high-res version on 2 different printers on good paper stock, not the cheap laserjet paper (I can actually read the small fine print on the back cover! Great job on the high-res version!):
HP ColorJet 4050 - very good flesh tones, contrast not as good.
Tektronix 850 - okay flesh tones (a little splotchety), but very good contrast.
My only bummage is on the printer's limitation to print cover 10.5" of the 11" of the width of the image in landscape mode. I have that 0.25" on either side that could have been nice to have for the cover to fit just right, as it is now, there's a little bit missing on the right hand side of the front, and a little bit missing on the left hand side of the back.
How do you get a printer to use the full 11" in landscape mode? Is this possible? Or am I relegate to try and find printers that do 11"x17"?

2. Tape a 3" strip of cheap paper to the trailing end of the 11" and tell the software you're printing legal size. Then just make sure you don't run off the end.

This is great, I had no idea so many people had put so much work into this stuff. I can finally dump all those horrid snappers! Does anyone have art for Falling Down, Almost Famous-Bootleg Cut, The Negotiator and Unbreakable? What can I say, cardboard makes me nervous.
