Now before you go "it's twice as much", realize that it's 13x19 size, which means that you get 2 UGCs per sheet when trimmed down plus each sheet will yield 3 DS covers, making it CHEAPER if you're going to do those cases. The stuff on Amazon ends up being ~25 shipped (unless you've got prime or something) and the stuff on adorama is 60 shipped (30 shipped if you consider that it's actually 200 sheets for your purposes). And yes, this is what I use. --- End quote --- do you just trim it with scissors? |

I'm hoping that Epson paper works well with inkjet printers. Ordered myself a pack to test for DS/DVD covers. |

I don't use scissors for cutting straight edges ever. --- Quote from: Blumpkin on April 18, 2013, 12:27:14 PM ---I'm hoping that Epson paper works well with inkjet printers.

It can take awhile to dry and absorb the inks but the outcome of the images are good. I wish it was a little thicker and was printable on both sides but it definitely gets the job done if you are limited by the paper size your printer can output. |
