Paper for BD / DVD cover print outs

[statikcat]

What kind of paper does everyone use to print out movie covers? Basically I have a damaged movie cover that annoys me.. and I found a hi res picture of it to print out. Is there paper you can order that is presized? Also, the scan is bigger than the actual cover size. What size ratio are movie covers for BD and DVD? Thanks!

If you're printing on an inkjet printer, definitely look for large-sized photo papaer (glossy or matte depending on your preference). If you're printing on a laser printer, your options are more limited, though you can still get "ultra-white" laser paper for better-looking colors.

The best (or at least easiest) thing to do is use something like Nero Cover Designer (if you have Nero) or a similar application that knows the correct size for the cover. Doing Blu-ray covers, you may need to download a BD-sized template for whatever program, or just manually adjust the DVD cover size down to the correct BD size. Then you can import your cover and resize it to match the template so that it prints at the right size.
