Been a while since I've seen this posted here so I thought I'd do it.

ArtsCow sales customised stuff and prints, this particular deal has been very popular in many places for its $0.99 custom mousepad bargain. I've ordered playing cards, mousepads and photo prints from them in the past and have been happy with all of my purchases.

After you've created your desired mousepad and added it to your cart, simply enter the coupon code during checkout (use the normal checkout rather than the PayPal checkout to enter the code, you'll still be able to use PayPal as payment later).

EDIT: I forgot to note that the coupon works for only one mousepad, each additional one is $3.99. It's also per household so creating many accounts to take advantage of the deal multiple times is not recommended … you'll probably have your orders canceled.

I'll also leave these other coupons in case somebody might want to use them:

Use this coupon code to purchase ornament at only $0.99 with free shipping
Z099ORNAMENT5FWB8

Use this coupon code to purchase cosmetic bag at only $1.99 with free shipping

Use this coupon code to purchase 6"x6" or 7"x5" photo book at only $1.99 with free shipping

    I can vouch for the quality of these mouse pads.

      I will second that! I've got 2 of them now and very happy with the print quality aswell as the actual mouse pad itself.

    • Pacify on 26/08/2014 - 17:27

      Hell yes. These are just great for 99c, my one is still in decent nick months later.

      Haha i just got another, completely for free as I had $1 cash credit from recommending someone else to buy a 99c mousepad

          if you go to your account, there is a refer a friend thing. If you give the person the 99c mousepad copoun, you get the equivalent of $1 worth of credit when they use it

        • Yanoflies on 26/08/2014 - 18:30

          @Pacify:

          I think that's the old system, right now I'm only getting credit for the referrals (10 per registration).

          I can redeem the credit for things, 100 for a mousepad to 1200 for a bikini to 1400 for a skater dress.

        • Pacify on 26/08/2014 - 18:34

    I've been able to make various mouse pads using my PC as well as using my phone via 4g. You may need to make a new account for it to work

  • The Gent on 26/08/2014 - 18:42

    Keep on getting "1 low DPI images!" when I try to checkout. The image is 1920x1080 and I made sure it was 300ppi. When I load the image in, it's shrunk so it's tiny on the mat and I have to stretch it to fit properly.

    Any Advice?

    Also, is it all the mouse mats for 99c or just the first option? When does this coupon expire?

    Thanks ladies and gents.

    Edit: Nevermind - I was having trouble because the choice for backgrounds is a low dpi…very odd. Fortunately my own image fills it and I resized it to correct format of 800x950 and fits beautifully.

    • RefusdClassification on 26/08/2014 - 22:53

      Real 300 dpi means that there is 300 pixels per 1 inch of width or height. There is a setting you can change in the metadata, but you also need to have an image of the right dimensions for the target size. Wallpapers look fine on a standard computer monitor, but print at poorly as A4 size due to lack of pixels.

      • The Gent on 27/08/2014 - 02:16

        I know man - my image was 300 DPI, but I worked out that the issue was the background image they provide on their site - I went with the matte black plain colour - is only 72 DPI, which their system flags as too low…very odd. Anyway, managed to fill it all with the image which has a black background based on my favourite game…

        http://i.imgur.com/rSqOJVf.jpg

        • Duff5000 on 27/08/2014 - 10:47

          dpi is pretty much a meaningless setting on a digital photo (there is no dots and there is no inches). You could have it set to 1 and it will look identical and should work exactly the same.

          If they say they require 300 dpi they really mean they require 300ppi (pixels). If you were printing a 3in x 3in square photo then you would need an image of at least 900x900 pixels. Whether the dpi setting on that 900x900 image is 1 or 1000000 the picture is still the same.

        • The Gent on 27/08/2014 - 11:16

          @Duff5000: I mispoke - I meant PPI. They're nearly interchangeable, but not quite. My understanding is that DPI has to do with the physical printer and PPI is the image file.

          And dude, as I have said, I know that 72ppi is for screens, but around 300 is recommended for printing. I'm a photographer - I get large prints of my work all the time.

          I am telling you, it was the fact that the site had such a small res for their background, that their system spat it back up.

      Anyone got ideas for pics to use? Something safe for work, and cheers you up.

      Surely most peeps would be using an image of someone/ something real in there lives (son/daughter/wife/work-mate/pet etc.) and creating a funny pic derived from it using photo-shop (or one of those zany "distortion" apps on phone these days maybe…). You know, your wife likes whales so you photo-shop up a cool image of her riding a whale, your son likes dinosaurs so you photo-shop him into a landscape with a dinosaur, etc… Otherwise, why bother with the 'customised' part of it, if you're just going to use a generic type image… 99 cents is cheap I suppose, but you may as well personalise the product in some meaningful way. Each to their own of course, I don't mean to be telling others what they should do.

  • cool kid on 26/08/2014 - 21:24

        no read what else the Yanofiles said, you can get other stuff like phones covers. I got an Iphone cover and the coupon worked for it (6.99) But I want to get a watch and it doesn't work? correct me if im wrong, thanks.

    • Yanoflies on 26/08/2014 - 22:22

      I think it's only for these watches: http://www.artscow.com/photo-gifts/photo-watch

      I tried it and it worked for some of these.

      • cool kid on 27/08/2014 - 14:27

        Yes, thanks for that, you are right. I also emailed them and they replied with that link saying that it only applied to some watches. So yea. But thanks for letting me know also. Appreciate it. cheers.

    paypal converts, adds on 12c for the trouble, then your bank charges you an international transaction fee.

    I have a question about copyright. If I send Arts Cow a copyrighted image (like a footy-club logo, a frame from a recent movie, a Disney character etc.) to make me a mouse-pad out of for 99c, and they dutifully do so, am I breaching copyright when I send them the image, or are they breaching it when they sell me the product (i.e. when they make money by selling me something with an image on it that they don't have the rights to use), or are we both?
    I reckon that someone in that scenario must be, otherwise I could just see an expensive limited-edition mouse-pad, make a high definition scan of it, and send it to AC to create me a knock-off, for 99c. Surely that would not be "all good" as far as copyright goes? Or is there maybe something in their TCs that precludes the use of copyrighted images, and throws the onus back on me not to send them one to use? Dudes are apparently getting mouse-pads containing images that would definitely be copyrighted, which is why I'm wondering…
    I'm certainly not suggesting anyone (or AC) is doing anytghing morally wrong here, cause it's just one mouse-pad, and no one (including AC!) would be making any money out of it.
    But how about if you got AC to make a golf umbrella with a few footy players' images from a certain club on it, and the logo smack in the centre, then you sold it on ebay as a "one-of-a-kind" or a "limited edition"? Would the cops bust you for "on-selling" it, or could you claim that actually, the original offense was committed by the person/entity that sold it to you?
    Of course I'm not planning to do this (I don't need the money, or have the time or the inclination, and anyways I like Arts Cow/their stuff/deals), but I'm just interested in the theoretical legalities of it. It'd be great if someone with a bit of actual legal knowledge in this area could offer an opinion… also, experience has taught me that innocent questions such as this often attract a wave of negs on this site from peeps who misinterpret the question as an intention to do the wrong thing, and I just disregard them… so "neg-away", if it makes you feel better, it's water off a duck's back.
