Paper for Slim DVD Covers (Inserts)

[nwrigley]

I'm looking to buy inkjet paper for use with my Epson R200 for printing slim DVD case inserts. I was curious what other people used and experiences with various stocks. I was looking at trying this stock:

I don't need a glossy finish, though I wouldn't be against trying glossy. I also don't want a stock that is too thick.

Can you give a link of where to buy it? Why do you recommend this paper?

I use "royal brites matte photo paper" from Sam's club. Dirt cheap (IIRC $10 for 200), looks very good. 8 1/2 x 11 is OK for slim cases. For normal ones, it runs short and 8 1/2 x 14" is better.

I have found that "Premium HP Presentation Paper" 32 lb 150 sheet packs Matte finish gives a bright printout and is only about $12 at Office Depot or Stapples.

I have been using for about 6 months and no complaints.

I use undercoverXP to resize the cover to slim then print it on my R200 using Kirkland(Costco) glossy photopaper. 125 sheets for $18 cdn or so.

I was using Likon Paper (10 sheets for a $1) but thought I'd try the Kirkland out this time around.

For cutting I splurged and spent $2, 1 for a steel ruler and 1 for a X-acto style knife.

I use the Meritline Glossy DVD Paper Inserts,
and just go in a 1/4" on either side to fit the
standard slims, 3/16" in either side for the Verbatim
(sold at Sam Stores) slim cases.

Reason I do this rather than buy the specially made slim insert paper,
is that when I do season sets ( 4 disc, 6 discs) I only
have to stock one insert paper, and can just trim
when I have a single disc/2 disc set I need to do.

That's exactly what I do too. I find it easier to just stock the regular size, and simply cut off a bit if I use a slim case.
