Question's pretty self explanatory, I couldn't see any details about PS4 covers specifically, so is it just generally assumed that PS3 & PS4 covers share the same 8.5 x 14" size & quality paper?

I did read the print guides & all the other instructional stuff too but I want to know more in depth details about, if you wanna replicate a cover with the same or better cover case, like the knuckles cover shown, and if money is no object as well what would be the IDEAL paper type, semi or full gloss for PS3 & PS4 cases specifically?

I'm a little confused on that since, for me I'm just trying to replace some damaged covers I have & I'm not sure what would be ideal for doing that. Like will a full gloss have a COMPLETELY different look which is objectively better than the retail? Would it be better just to go semi then if money is not issue & you have acces to both? What's the general consensus I guess is what I'm asking in regards to quality...

I'm sorry if these are n00bish questions or if I'm asking the wrong place but I can't seem to find any decisive answers else where. =\

The two share the same paper type and width but the height is different.

Ok well good to know. Are the PS4 measurements listed on the forums specifically or will I have to measure them myself? I'm traveling at the moment so I don't have my PS4 games at hand. Can anybody tell me what they are so I can grab 2 sets of paper?

I'm really not confident in my cutting abilities. -_-;

I can measure PS4 cover tomorrow when I get home.

Same paper should be good for PS4 printing as for PS3.
Covers are bit different in size but both should fit Letter size paper.

Have you tried printing borderless images on your machine before?

My printer always leaves a small boarder, even if I turn it off in the settings. (At least with DIN A4 / Letter size paper.)
It is also hard to feed in the paper perfectly straight. Often it is a little bit off.

Yeah something like that happens w/me too. I'll probably have to do some test prints before going through with it.
