Hey tentoze, thanks for sending me Tookay Three.

Oh, by the way, what kind of paper did you use for the cover art? It looks like photo-quality paper, and that stuff is too expensive to be using for likes of me. I'm always looking for better quality paper but I just haven't found anything ideal. It looks awesome!

Hey, Avatar Boy- not to horn in on your post, but I usually use photo-quality paper for my covers. I try to get 2 covers out of one page, but sometimes it doesn't work that way. Case in point was my Red Hot CP comp, which was one cover per page.

I've figured that after I buy the photo paper, the blank CDs, the jewel cases and put in my time on the cover art and burning the CD, each CD I send out costs around $27.80 (US) to make. I think I'll just start buying the CDs at Tower and send them out to people.

$27 to make a comp? I think mine top out at $30 including my labor charges. Hey, I'm no cheapskate, but you can do a decent job without spending a whole lot of cash, especially with cdrs going for as little as a few cents each. Hell, I spend more for postage than I do creating the cd. As for the cover art, I have an excellent color printer (HP Photosmart 1215), so I get pretty good results even on so-so paper. I've been using Ink Jet 24 weight / 94 brightness paper that's almost like thin cardboard and my covers look pretty good. When I saw the one tentoze sent me, I knew I could do better, but at what price? As for getting two out of one sheet of photo paper, that shouldn't be a problem if you do it right. I have CD Stomper software I bought a few years ago and it still does a decent job of arranging my cover art. I also have the labels I can create to paste right on unbranded cdrs to make a really nice package, but I haven't used them in a long time.
