Paper
SuperSaiyan005:
Hey guys how's it going? I am new at printing game covers so I was wondering what is the best paper to use? I know I need semi gloss legal sized paper, but I was wondering what brands are the best and what kind of paper do you guys use so I know which one to buy?
Thanks

Depends on your printer, but I use Epson's 3-star glossy photo paper for my covers.

Then again, I have an Epson printer so you may want to go with a different one depending on your manufacturer.

I have Canon printer And I use HP brand semi-gloss paper.
It's pretty much down to personal preference, but I'd say any Semi-gloss paper will do and be best choice.

Where do you guys buy your paper from? Do you perfer to get it from the hp website?
WolfAlmighty:
I buy mine from Epson.com because shipping on paper is free (same with ink). Or I can go into town and get it from OfficeMax but it's usually a little more expensive there. Depends on how badly I need it I guess.
