I was planning on getting mine printed off at the local Office Depot, but the cover I'm designing stretches beyond the range of a normal sheet of paper. (It's for a one-inch-thick DVD case.) Do they have longer pieces of glossy paper for stuff like this? Will their printers be able to seamlessly print the whole thing? This is a pretty big wall in my little project here. |

(Hopefully they'll have glossy Legal paper available. This place is the only place I know of where I can do this kind of stuff.) |

I work at an OfficeMax, and we have what's called 80# glossy text, which is the kind of paper that's used in game manuals and magazines. Surely Office Depot should have it since OfficeMax has it, and it comes in Letter (8.5" x 11"), Legal (8.5" x 14"), and A3 (12" x 18") sizes. I think it also comes in 11" x 17" too. If you're working with a cover that has a marginal bleed, it's best to print on something really big to ensure that you're getting everything. |

I'll jot that down to make sure I don't forget it. Very helpful to have a guy on the "inside." |
