Replacement inserts - Blu-ray Forum

thepoolhalljunky · 05-12-2008, 08:10 PM

Does anyone know how to obtain replacement inserts for blu-rays? I hate the fact that the insert is slightly torn, and I don't want something from my printer; I want a new insert that would actually come with the movie.

Good luck with that. You won't find it. It's either from your printer, or nothing.

well you could always buy the blu's again ^^ or rent them and do the switcheroo

If you buy the HP semi-gloss paper they come out exactly the same.

and where would you get the image file to print it?

There are various sites across the web that have cover scans and custom cover art. Google Blu-ray cover art and you should get a few hits. There's a thead in the Blu-ray software forum at AVS that has quite a bit of custom art.

I have seen quite a few people who like the custom made covers over the original covers on DVDs and even BDs. They aren't hard to find, just Google.

I do a bit of work on the side making DVD slideshows and Transferring home video to DVD. I make covers for them so they look like regular DVDs, but the problems I encounter is that the ink never seems to truly dry if you use photopaper inserts. It remains tacky years later. Then, it sticks to the inside of the plastic cover. Sometimes it can even pull the ink off the paper.

The best paper to use is HP Brochure & Flyer Paper (gloss or matte) - its the exact same paper used for covers and they offer a slightly heavier bond for inserts. Whats nice about it is it can be printed on both sides for those that like the double sides covers to see through the blu cases!! I print all my custom covers on this and you cant tell the difference! And its totally dry to the touch!

BStecke · 05-14-2008, 10:11 PM

The brochure paper is a much heavier paper than the actual covers. The semi-gloss photo paper is almost exact.

I will have to look into that. Is the size large enough for a DVD cover?
Normally I just buy the paper made for covers, so it is the right size.

Go to your local rental store that does Blu-rays and walk up to case and swap your insert for it.

If you have a gamestop near by that has that copy, even better those numb nuts deserve to get their marketing materials jacked. I always go in there when I need an instruction book or insert for a game I own since they leave everything on the floor.

They deserve it for selling brand new copies of something already opened and not factory sealed usually with a big yellow price tag on it that leaves sticky residue when you remove it, what asses! When I pay for something brand new I shouldn't have to watch some guy open up a drawer pull out my new game in a CD sleeve and then insert it into an already opened case.

Sorry rant there but yes try your local video store ask them for a swap.

Not true, Photo paper is heavy thick, sticky and one sided. Im holding all three (original insert, brochure paper and photo paper) and there is no comparison - the photo paper is just too heavy, and photo paper can crack the ink when on the spine.

8.5"x11" wont fit the DVD covers (prints blu's perfectly) - it will cut off part of the DVD cover due to most printer margins (it's even tight with borderless printing). But I think they make 8.5"x14" that will work perfectly.

Disregard this comment if you have any decency and morales.

There are quite a few places to look..

Here is one on this forum - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...hlight=inserts

I am sure if you ask people, they must might post it for you.

I just printed 100 brochures for my business on the brochure paper, and I also just printed the cover art for the four Die Hard's on the semi-gloss photo paper. The brochure paper is much heavier, almost like a very light card stock, where the semi-gloss (different from their regular photo paper) is almost identical to the real thing. What you're saying may be true if it's the regular HP photo paper, but not the semi-gloss.

The semi-gloss is also what's recommended by those in the AVS thread who make and print the custom art on a regular basis.

gotcha - understand what you mean now. Can you print on both sides?

I guess you could, but the gloss is only on the one side. That's not to say that the other side looks like raw ass, if it's the part that you see through the case it probably wouldn't make any difference.
