Hello, I am going to buy a new printer. I need a printer for making DVD inserts. Cans omebody suggest a printer that can print decent looking DVD covers, but is not too expensive? Also do you suggest I buy photo paper or print the covers on regular paper? It doesnt have to look identical to an original just as long as it looks nice.
try the epson r200/300 series as can print right onto the cd/dvd as can certain canon & hp printers. use regular paper as photographic paper is expensive
Also if you dont want to print them i have found this great site to save on ink & paper they have & sell original case inserts. I have bought tons & they have new ones all the time. www.dvdreplacementcovers.com
The epson r-200 is a very nice/quality printer.It does a superb job on my semi-gloss photo dvd covers.Around $80.It also does a fine job on my full hub printable media. I get my 6 replacement ink cartridges at privateabacus24-7.com $20 including s&h.Buy more sets and they are even cheaper.Very good quality ink and customer service is great. I prefer a thinner 6.5 mil photo paper.It's hard to tell the difference between the original and my copy. Edit: The dvd on top is my original.Bottom is my copy. The lighter disc covers don't turn out as good as the original,but still look very good.
I use a sharp pair of scerrated scissors.I'd like to get a machete type-table set- paper cutter. I buy the 8x11 inch semi gloss photo paper at staples in 100 packs.I also cut them up to get 3 4x6 inch pics out of each sheet. My album covers and regular camera photos look great off that printer despite my soon to be ex-wife slamming it on the ground!It's got a broken eject tray,but ok other than that.
