Deep space nine complete series packaging

[yosh]

I'm looking into buying a complete boxset of DS9. The one on amazon.com has lots of different images and I was wondering if anybody knows exactly what the set looks like?

This is one of the images:

I want the boxset that has that artwork on it. This is the link to the item:
http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Spa...ef=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1266635381&sr=8-1

If you look through the photos it seems to be hard to tel if they are all from the same boxset. Anybody know?

IIRC, the special box art in that photo is a fabrication of a fan, but you can still download them... somewhere... Sorry.

Ta-da!

It's also far, far better than the offficial complete series packaging that Yosh wants. Trust me on this. You may think you want the boxes in that second link, but within six months the boxes will have fallen apart and you'll be swapping them for the fan stuff as fast as you possibly can.

But yes, to clarify:

Fan art. You won't get this from Amazon.

This is the official one you will get if you order that set - I did it myself about a year ago.

Ta-da!

That's nice, but I prefer the Ships of the Line Collection, because you can add the other shows if you want (but it still works for DS9 only).

There's also his Captains Collection set. Click on the DS9 section of the pic to get that part of the set.

Wow, after seeing the full ships of the line collection it makes me want to buy all of the shows! I started with Voyager last year and am half way through DS9 (which is awesome so far) and then I'll watch TNG. I know it's backwards, but my friend got me into Star Trek by introducing me to Voyager. Since then I have just worked my way back, silly really!

Does anybody know if I would be able to order the ships of the line cover artwork from that website? I didn't see an order button. I saw a download link but I just KNOW that if I print them off myself, even on photopaper it will look awful compared to the official covers. If not, anybody have any suggestions of what paper to use and what printer?

 

[Ziz]

Download and print is the only way to go. Any decent printer will work. I just use legal size paper, but if you want to splurge you can buy the large 13x19 photo paper and cut it down to 8 1/2 x 13 sheets, effectively creating legal size photo paper.

Printing is very easy.

File>Open. Load up a cover in Windows Paint.
File>Page Setup. Legal size paper, landscape orientation, horiz & vert centering checked, set all printer margins to "0". Paint will reset them to your printer's minimum defaults.
File>Print. Use your printers "Best", "Highest", "Photo" or whatever it's called setting.

Repeat until you've got them all. As long as you don't shut down Paint and just load the next cover, it will retain the page setup changes. Use a metal straight edge and a razor blade to trim the edges.

Ric's site has links to various sites that sell the 1" spine 6 and 8 disc cases.
