For those of you printing covers at Kinkos

See I have roughly a little over 400 games to case between my NES, SNES and N64 games so going with glossy prints would get quite expensive very fast and therefore would probably take me twice as long and twice as much to case up all my games. So instead I went with legal presentation paper (500 sheets for 20$) which is thicker than standard paper and should cover me for all my covers. Much cheaper and the quality of my covers are still of very nice quality.
But if your only printing out covers for say 20-50 games than sure, why not go with the Semi-Gloss.

I suggest doing them well, so you won't regret later.
BTW: Old picture of my collection:

Missing from image ~150 SNES, ~100 N64 and ~200 NES games, I mean out of UGC cover awaiting games. (Also missing pretty much all newer console games)

What do you mean "the same thing"? If you are talking about printing images then yes they do that. I print at Office Max and Office Depot all the time. Just remember to tell them that there automatic printing program doesn't work (resizes images) so just print them in Photoshop.

Well I went to kinkos but they didn't have semi gloss photo paper, they had another type of semi gloss paper, and wanted to charge me over $3 for each print, will try another kinkos.
