| Dream paper. I think I found it. |

I have been wasting alot of ink lately trying to find the best paper and print settings to get the best result. I tried brochure paper, photo paper, presentation paper, etc. Brochure paper looked ok, the presentation paper soaked the ink up like a sponge and looked awful, but photo paper looked incredible. It was far too thick though. So thick in fact, it created an arch on each spine because the case and sleeve was not strong enough to force any folding. The arch on the spine caused the sleeve plastic to stress and warp the shape of the case. I bought this: http://www.amazon.com/KODAK-Photo-Paper-Inkjet-Prints/dp/B000EZ0CTU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=office-products&qid=1238523087&sr=8-1 Not quite as flimsy as the paper used in a production run of DVD's or Games, but it approaches it. The level of detail I was able to get is indescribable. So I took a couple of pics. Check it out. Beware, 10+ MP shots... http://www.thepowerbase.com/therookery/Images/ |

Looks great! I'll definitely keep my eye out for this next time I'm around Staples :D |

The only setbeck with this is that I can't find it in anything legal size, so I am pretty much limited to DVD cases. |

I printed 2 labels for 2 N64 cartridges on Kodak Picture Paper - Soft Gloss Wow Soft gloss LOOKS so nice - I barely could tell the difference btw an original and my printout. I'm assuming if it looks great on a label then a Cover would look equally great - Only 8.5x11 as far as I know |

I've posted this a couple times, but I really can't recommend this enough. I've only had good experiences and it's a good paper density: http://www.redrivercatalog.com/browse/50lb-premium-matte-double-sided.html |
