Hey everyone,
I was just wondering where to go to get A4 paper for DVD Case Covers? Amazon.com? Where? Also what type of paper should it be (ex. gloss, semi-gloss, etc...) please help! I do thank u for u time.
Side Note: Office Depot, Staples & such general stores do not carry A4 paper.

I use hp semi-gloss paper (A4) to print for my replacements. I don't recommend purchasing gloss paper as it will stick to the plastic.
I purchase mine in Australia from Office Works, an office supply store. However you can always purchase the paper directly online from hp or any of the other companies. You may also have some luck with ebay.

Australia? I am predicting that u are from there...Well, that is a problem cause I am from Florida. Do u know if the states (U.S.) carries it? actually, how much would it be to ship it from Australia to Florida? I would be thinking a week or two am I right or wrong?

Yes I am from Australia. If you don't have any local store you can buy online. I have had a quick look on amazon and found some options:
hp semi-gloss A4 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FHP-Everyday-Photo-Paper-Semi-gloss%2Fdp%2FB0002AGLI8%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Delectron ics%26qid%3D1181017174%26sr%3D1-1&tag=dvdcovfuz-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325)
Canon semi-gloss Letter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fexec%2Fobid os%2Ftg%2Fdetail%2F-%2FB000HZGQTM%3F%255Fencoding%3DUTF8%26m%3DA17MC6H OH9AVE6%26v%3Dglance&tag=dvdcovfuz-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325)
Epson semi-gloss Letter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FEpson-S041331-Premium-Semi-Gloss-8-5x11%2Fdp%2FB000069E2F%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Doffice-products%26qid%3D1181018735%26sr%3D1-21&tag=dvdcovfuz-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325)
Or you can go to the hp shop (http://www.shopping.hp.com/supcat/supplies/printing_supplies/paper/inkjet+and+all-in-one+paper/photo_papers) directly purchase or find a local dealer from Epson (http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/ProductMediaSpec.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&infoType=Overview&oid=-8777&category=Paper+%26+Media).

I want to thank u SilentWarrior for going beyond above on answering my question(s). But the two that are letter how can I use them? there not A4...don't I need A4 paper? cause I have tried letter awhile back but the cover didn't fit on the paper. Am I missing something here? or do I not need A4 paper & I can go with just letter? But if it's letter what size do I get 8 by 11, 13 by 19, or something else?

Yes you can use letter paper. Its slightly shorter in length and slightly wider in width. Standard letter size is 8.5in x 11in.
Hope this helps:)

One last question, will a letter cover look different in size compared to original dvd cover? if so then I will probably try to find A4 paper.

The cover will print out the same size on either paper. You will however need to cut around the edges because it won't print on the entire page.

I'm sorry if this sounds stupid (I don't know a lot about paper) but what exactly is the advantage of using A4 paper? If there is one?

There's no advantage, just a difference in metrics. You can use either letter or A4 for covers.
