Increase border size to 2mm on claim code PDFs #105

Open gbathree opened 12 years ago

gbathree commented 12 years ago

After some experience trying to print the 1.5 x 1.5'' stickers, a larger border is needed to address normal printer shift that occurs on most printers. A 2mm border should be sufficient to address the issue.

In addition, we should test the smallest possible size for the QR code itself to still work with QR readers - we may be able to further shrink the QR to allow the picture to be bigger.

Alas, the QR codes are about as small as they can get right now. In fact, I probably need to bump them back up in size, because I'm having trouble scanning them in anything but really bright light and perfect distance.

I can tune down the error correction and capacity probably one more notch, which lets it use a coarser dot pattern and less DPI. But, I think leaves about 50 characters of space for an URL - that's really not enough.

Shit - I hope that doesn't cause issues at the Faire... Sorry, I should have tested with a wider variety of phones.

Well, they still work, they're just more fussy the smaller they get. A little bit larger, and I can scan them at about 5" with a dim lamp on. Worst case, the alphanumeric claim code is still usable on the front page.

We may have to provide the option to use 2'' x 2'' avery stickers, they're just more expensive.
