Post tobaccoman guts question
Is the tobaccoman in the 08 Lucky bag a mini? I dloaded the guts from the gargamel site and they're a good bit bigger than the actual tobaccoman. Is it my printer or is it a mini?

there's only one size of tobaccoman as far as I know... Could be your printer... or does the tobaccoman guts roll into a cylinder? I can't remember.

I had a similar deal with dokuroman guts from the Gargamel site, just a tad too big.

I thought I remembered you could download the guts but I couldn't find them when I was looking the other day, could someone post a link.

I had the same problem and then played around with my printer settings - oddly enough, one of the pre-set sizes is something called "Japanese double postcard" - i tried that and it seems to print it at the right size (I don't have the tobaccoman yet to try it with but the height of the insert is now 5 1/2" rather than 8" using the standard print settings).

I've got an HP printer that's a few years old but I'll bet most printers have this japanese size as a default setting.

good luck dudes.

print out the guts from the gargamel site then find a photocopier with a reducing function. keep shrinking the image until it fits right. I wound up having to tinker with my printer settings to get the guts to fit into the tobacco man, once he arrived, but once the guts are placed inside, it looks 1000% better.

I used windows picture viewer first and it printed out way to big. Use a program like photoshop, or GIMP to print and it should be fine.

The first time I tried to print them it was a full page, but I unchecked the scale to fit preset and it seemed to work fine.
