Well, I've used this site for a while now and I just wanted to thank everyone that runs the site AND everyone who has contributed.

Now, for my stupid question.

I've followed the guides and I use regular legal size paper for my covers... is this what all of you use?

Because I've tried to mess with it so that it would fit on photo paper to look nice, but that results in massive wasting of ink.

Also, I've been thinking about doing my N64 collection in those universal media cases.  Does mediashelving.com only sell them in packs of 100?  That's what it looks like and I only need about 50 (at most).

Well thats my stupid question (err questions... lol).  Thanks again everyone!

Those are Gamecube, not N64 cases.

Pardon me for the the intrusion here, but I believe you're talking about UGC's, or Universal Game Cases, right? There's a topic in here somewhere were you can find out where to buy them from.

yea.

The site provided in the thread only lists them in packs of 100.

I was just making sure about that.

So there aren't any office depots around here... what do the rest of you use to print the covers?

Any office printing type store that prints in color and on legal paper. Office Max, Staples. But it's not guaranteed you'll get prints since technically we don't own the rights to the copyright on the covers so they may not print them. WAYYY back (1+ year ago) Snowcone printed some for me. It cost a lot in comparison to the office places, but they turned out really nice and he cut them for me. He may do the same for you if you PM him.

I've gotten a nice new printer since then too. I print on tabloid/ledger paper (11x17) with a 1px border guide and then cut them with a rotary trimmer.

tabloid/ledger paper (11x17)

is that thicker than regular paper?
