Hey everyone, I was wondering what type of paper should I get to use for DVD covers? I have a laser printer so, I know I can't use Epson. I've been told to use A4 size paper but I just don't know what type? It would be greatly appreciated for any kind of help.

I just use epson matte paper. didn't know that lasers have diff papaer:omg:

From my knowledge you can use any paper with laser printers. However you need to beware that the results may be different. For instance I use HP semi-gloss photo paper to print covers with my ink jet printer. The results look great although if used with a laser printer you may find some problems with color quality. Laser printers like paper which has a nice fine finish.

A4 paper is fine for printing covers....however you will need to trim the edges.

Okay, thanks!

But you don't NEED to use A4, standard letter size (8.5 X 11) works just as well.

Agree it does do the trick. The only issues that may come up are 2
Margin settings. If you do not have the margins set appropriatly. you will not print the entire image. Make sure you print w preview to set it up right.
Paper color. You are going to want a vibrant white to make the cover look really good. Some lesser paper quals are not as white as others.

Make that 3
The thickness of the paper does matter as well. Thin paper is going to have a lot of color bleedover.
