Custom Cover Test Prints

So today I managed to get into Kinko's to do some test prints and the results were outstanding. They were a lot of work and not very cheap, but the final product looks terrific. We decided on a 32lb paper with no gloss to it, as the laser ink being used adds its own sort of gloss/sheen to the paper.

The one mistake I made was not test fitting in the store, which would have revealed that I needed to take an extra 1-2mm off of the right edge to make these cover fit. Perhaps I'll just use Photoshop to slice this off of the canvas size so that I reduce the number of cuts I have to make. Either way the end result is worth it and I'll become more proficient with this as time progresses.
