So my DS cases came in yesterday and I went out and bought a printer and everyhting els I needed. The only thing I couldnt find was glossy paper in a legal size so I settled for presentation paper whitch is a little thicker than standard but it has no gloss. Im not entirely satisfied with the quality of the prints on that paper so I want to go with gloss paper like I originally wanted. So far Ive only all my Game Boy games (29 to be exact) and Im thinking if Im gonna go with glossy paper I should probably do that now while im still waitign for my UGC's as I have a over a hundred games for both my NES and SNES and it would be too late (and expensive) to turn back and start all over so I should do it now while I still have the chance.

Does anyone have any suggestion for glossy paper I could use for a nice quality more official looking print?

I hope you like waiting 3 days for glossy prints to dry

I think you're printing wrong if it's taking you three days for them to dry.

If you print with your printer set to glossy paper, they are dry as they finish printing.

Yeah, I've always printed with glossy paper (it just looks about a hundred times better), and I've never had to worry about it smudging or anything after it gets out the printer.

The glossy paper I use is just the 8.5x11 Kodak brand they sell at any old brick-n-mortar store.

Dont you lose a bit on the end when you print with 8 X 11?
