    Hello,

    Is there any certain type of paper that i can use to print nice looking DVD inserts? [not DVD lables!]

    I know about the regular paper quality and I also know about the gloassy ones....the point is, I don't like the quality of regular DVD insert paper (although it says "Photo Quality paper") and glossy DVD inserts are really hard to find where i live and not to mention they are fairly expensive also.....

    So I m wondering is there any specific type of paper that i can use to print DVD inserts? Light weight paper will be perfect.

    Please advice....

    It's a pain in the ass though to get the print to fit right inside the cut-out lines

    Cd-labels is pretty easy but whenever I print a cover it's always printed too far up or too far to the side.

    hmm...asspie

    for DVD covers use:

    184 mm (width) x 272 mm (height)

    I'll flip them 60° with photoshop and then I make them smaller to fit (I only use HQ covers so their always 2 big )

    good paper for covers/inlays: semi-glossy, one sided.

    I use nero cover designer with a dvd case template from easycomputing,so I always have the correct size.
    It's just a matter of stretching or shrinking the cover in between the cut-out lines.
    But for some reason it never comes out perfectly on the dvd cover paper I use (also from easycomputing)

    It's never a wasted print though,it's just that I still have to cut them out manually with a ruler and knife instead of just ripping off the edges,if you know what I mean.

    I just use ordinary paper (but there's always photo quality), Surething and a paper cutter.

    if you use 184 mm (width) x 274 mm (height) it fits perfect

    just checked the template from easycomputing and they also use the same sizes as me
