dejimus:
i dont know the name for it, but i use super white legal paper on a thicker than usual stock. the colors actually come out more vibrant than the official cases usually.
Velmeran:
I've discovered recently that most who do custom covers for DVD and Bluray all recommend using Brochure Paper.
Glossy, Semi-Glossy, Matte is up to the individual preference, the Brochure Paper is nearly an identical thickness and weight to actual dvd and bd covers.

...at least if we aren't talking newer ps2 games, which seem to have thinner inserts (and generally cheaper-feeling packaging all around.)
I have brochure paper myself and can vouch for this though, it's the perfect thickness.

Is it the toner or paper style that should be changed for better images. I printed a cover the printed graphic looks more washed and green than the image on screen.
tiggerwalker:
Chazparks: Ink can have a part in it but in my case it was the paper. I have always used the cheapest paper from wal-mart.
I didn't even know that I had a photo printer :P
So if I use brochure paper no-one will be able to tell?
Also can you print these at Office Depot?
