ATTN: Revubus[views:1669][posts:17]_____________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 3:14am - sacreligion ""] We're getting our CDs printed and just got a sample of what it would look like tonight, but the guy doing it has matte paper and there's a lot of black so it's sucking up all the ink and it doesn't look as pretty as it should. I've looked online for double-sided gloss paper but am having difficulties on deciding what to get. What would you recommend? |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 9:29am - DreamingInExile ""] how about getting them professionally printed? any printing place should be able to do it, or you can go through a CD duplication place (which I suggest). |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 1:36pm - sacreligion ""] because it costs assloads of money...it'll come out just as good as a professional place if you use the right paper |
| __________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 1:43pm - succubus ""] hmmm just saw this...but it also depends on printer...how many are you looking to print? there are pro places that aren't expensive...tell me appro how many you want to print..i'll see if i can get you a quote |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 1:45pm - sacreligion ""] we were going to do 100 just to keep our costs down, and when we sell them we'll have more money to get more copies the guy is using an epson printer(not sure exactly what model, but he suggested epson paper since it's kinda touchy but i can't find double-sided epson gloss) |
| __________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 1:50pm - succubus ""] thing is...the paper is expensive too...plus the ink what are the dimensions of the paper? |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 1:54pm - sacreligion ""] we could just do it on 8x11 and cut it down to size afterwards we don't have to worry about ink since the guy has a continuous system and 100 copies wouldn't make a dent in the amount of ink that he has(another reason why we'd like to go through him) |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 2:01pm - DreamingInExile ""] http://www.newenglandcd.com/packages/retail-ready-pack.htm probably some of the best local turn-around times and prices. I used to work here, and the stuff that comes out is top notch |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 2:02pm - sacreligion ""] yeah but we're getting 100 cds done for like $175(depending on the cost of the paper) |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 2:02pm - sacreligion ""] and the turn around time is gonna be like...2 days |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 2:04pm - DreamingInExile ""] aight, I'm just trying to help out with what I can |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 2:06pm - sacreligion ""] it's much appreciated...but we worked out a deal with this guy a little while ago and it comes out awesome(the quality was mint except for the paper he used it on) |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 2:08pm - the_reverend ""] cutting down 8x10" paper sucks. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 2:10pm - sacreligion ""] this is true but i'd rather spend time than money we could also just get smaller paper, we're going to staples later today to see what they have but we were told that they probably don't have what we're looking for |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 2:17pm - the_reverend ""] but when it comes down to it, you'll be spending time for one that looks like shit. or spend $$ for something that looks good. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 2:26pm - sacreligion ""] you're gonna have to trust me on this one...it came out fine except for the paper it was on |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 2:37pm - the_reverend ""] ok, then go and get a sampler pack for $5 and try them all. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 2:39pm - sacreligion ""] they have sampler packs? well thank you, this has been worthwhile |
