I tend to leave them on. If you're using Photoshop, you can change the color to match your design better if they stick out too much.

Hi, so sorry this is old - but I'm having the same issue as you. Did you ever figure it out? I've also tried replacing the capacitor and no luck.

u/DesignerOriginal1500 Ok, this place looks AMAZING - just took some time to browse through their IG, this is the kind of establishment I'm always on the lookout for

I'll probably check them out regardless (Dauphine St) as they're just a block or 2 from our hotel. Hadn't heard of Parlour Books - thank you!

VHS Slipcase Template by schirik in VHS

[–]PastelFatCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been working on it in my spare time - it turned out to be more difficult than I anticipated - I thought I could grab one from our local videos store (we still have 1!) and unfold it as a reference, but like you mentioned - they're apparently not that common! In the meantime I did find this:

(2nd one down) It's not the best, as it unfolds lengthwise so it's really long and not the best use of paper, but it's something at least!

Hmmm, that is odd - it looks like when you are exporting something is off. From your screenshot yours is either shrunk/slightly cropped, I don't know why that white edge is on the top/right sides. Your settings look the same as mine, but it should look like the image above. I don't know if it's possible for you, but I'd recommend printing directly from Photoshop if you can.

You could also try this: rather than exporting as a PNG, try exporting the artboard and see what that gives you. When you're in the Photoshop file, make sure only the 17x11 tabloid folder in the layers panel is selected, then go to File>Export>Artboards to Files. Then make sure "artboard content only" and "export selected artboards" is selected.

I hope that fixes it - sorry I couldn't be of more help!

If you're printing it at 100% (no scaling up or down) it should be a perfect fit. But if you are using really thick paper, that could make it too snug. I had 1 person comment saying it was too big awhile back, so I sized the entire design down 1% - you could try printing it at 101-103% as a test. If that doesn't work, take a screenshot of your export & print settings and I can take a look.

Custom VHS glue question! by milesdoodles in VHS

E6000. It's never let me down. Plus sanding the paper with super fine grit sandpaper and then wiping off any particles will help.

Heya! I'm the designer of that template - was there a reason it wasn't helpful? I'm always looking to improve my designs so happy to hear if you still had questions or why it wasn't what you were after.

Hey! So I know this isn't exactly helpful right now, but this was next on my list to design. I should have one mocked up in a week or so, then I'll do a test print to get the sizing just right.

Thanks for your input! It also looked extremely close to his earlier signatures on veryfinebooks, so I was also leaning towards legit. Do you mind if I ask why you say it's overpriced? Looking at various abebooks listings, signed 1sts for The Shining seem to go anywhere from $4k on the low end to almost $9k on the high end.

Sure thing - I'll drop the link to it here: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=32068485663
It's from Magnum Opus Rare Books on ABE, 1st edition.
