| Printed covers sticking to cases -- Need Advice! |

Hey all -- I've been going through recently and printing out new covers for my games using higher quality paper. The prints looks fantastic; however, when I put them into the cases, I notice that the spines of the covers are sticking to the outer plastic, causing a spotted, wet look to it. Needless to say, this is bothering the hell out of me. My question, has anyone else experienced this, or know a trick to fix it? It's not that I don't give the covers time to dry, the recommended amount of time is 7 days, and in some cases I've let them dry for 14 before inserting them, but I still get the spots. Some of them come out looking fine, but several are having this issue. Any recommendations? Here's the specs on the paper I'm using: DVD Covers - HP Premium Photo Paper -- Glossy -- 10mil, 240g/m2, 64lb GBA Covers - HP Premium Plus Photo Paper -- High Gloss -- 11.5mil. 280g/m2, 75lb |

This might be a stupid question, but does that come in legal size or are you printing that on regular sized sheets? I couldn't find a way to print on letter sized since I couldn't find a way to bypass the 0.12 inches minimum setting for the border. That resulted in a cutoff image. I ended up getting Red River legal sized paper for my Canon i960 and haven't had any issues. Haven't had any issues, wish I could help further. |

Like I said, the covers look beautiful on this paper (I used to use Kodak paper, and the black was more like a dark gray), I just need to figure out what to do about the sticking. |
