What is the best Printer for your DVD Cover Inserts??

[LocoArts]

I have seen some great fan film dvd's I have bought online, and their DVD Covers look so professional!! Crystal Clear.

What is a great printer I can buy to do my dvd cover inserts?

Cost, best options,etc?

Should I buy one or is there a online company that prints cheaply?

Both question being answered would help

thanks

I'd go to your school and use on of their laserjet printers, it wouldn't be smart at all if you spend about $5,000 just to make your cover look nice.

If you want to print directly onto the DVD then the Epson R200/300 etc series of printers are good for that

(This is just a DVD cover, not an actual film.)

I think the main factor that gives you good DVD covers is the software you use. I used adobe photoshop, and the trick is to make the canvas size about four times bigger than the final print size. You can get .psd templates off the net which have guides you can work to.

The printer i use is an HP Photosmart 8150 photo printer. It gets very clear prints...
