What Kind of Paper Should I Print On?

I use this. It's archival (when paired with pigment based, and not dye based inks).

Seems pricey, but 100 sheets gets you 200 UGC covers or 300 DS case covers when trimmed down to 8.5x13.

Here is TDIRunner's paper comparison picture.

Red River 50 lb. Premium Matte Double Sided 8.5x11



The new stuff is on the right (just in case you couldn't tell :P)


The difference in person is about a thousand times better than what the pictures are showing (and I think the pictures show a lot).

So that is good for inkjet. But the one I'm using now is a laser printer. What's the best paper for a laser printer?

I'm very happy I was able to help you, TheAristocrat0! If you decide to have the employees print the covers for you, you can speed things up by inserting all your covers into Word documents before you go. Then, they can print all the pages at once.

Will this work? I'd be printing with a Brother MFC-J475DW.

I was at my local Staples the other day and they have those large cutters where you pull the blade down like a lever. I may get a smaller one since I want to design my own covers.
