Similar to the printer I have (a slightly more beefed up version of that), and it's served me well. I prefer matte paper for my covers, personally, but any standard glossy photo paper will do the trick. Just be aware that it burns through ink fairly quickly.

Many thanks for the replies, can you tell me on average the amount of covers i will get out of the ink before i need to replace it?

I'd say maybe 15-20 ish? It's hard to measure because the cartridges end up getting replaced at different intervals and different covers use different amounts of certain colours.

Thanks for clearing that up for me i really appreciate it. The artwork on the more recent releases of old films (Gremlins, Lost Boys) to name a few are shocking so its about time i replaced them.

Here's a set of covers for Vikings, made to fit 15mm spine cases.

These were commissioned by Vikings fan Harley Christian, who would like to share them with those others who want a cohesive set for the series. Please PM me for download links.

Been planning to do this for a while now but I decided to finally commit some time to a new set of Tarantino covers. I already made a set a few years back using theatrical poster art - this set is based on some of the awesome alternate poster art that some crazy talented graphic artists have put out there over the years. Will also prepare some UHD versions for the titles that have made it to 4K so far (I think it's rumored that Kill Bill will get a 4K release this year!).

May still make a few changes but here's what I have so far guys

Hello.

Has anyone got a decent custom cover (in English) for the Richard Gere thriller 'Final Analysis'?
The film is coming out on bluray in Spain... but the cover is in Spanish.

Thank you.

Kind regards, M.J.

HI guys. I'm doing customs for the Jurassic Park/World movies. I've got the first three half way done; i plan on doing the inside with blue prints, maps, and concept art taken from the Visual History books. If anyone has suggestions or or anything, I'm more than happy to hear it!





This is a mockup of how the spines will look when its done

The only suggestion I have is that the area at the bottom on the back covers where you list the special features is a bit hard to read. It may be worth looking into to add a layer between the text and the background.
