I am currently making some CD covers for a CD I am making. I have the right dimensions and everything dealing with design is fine. However, I'm not sure what type of paper/material I should use to print it out on, and when it is printed, how I should cut it out? What have your methods been, I want to make sure it perfect, or pretty close the first time.

Each Time I have delivered game demo's to my teachers was by also making a DVD cover design and then printing it out on Photo paper (it looks nice an shiny grin ). Then when it's in the DVD case it will look almost like a real normal professional cover (depending on the graphics tongue )

BTW I cut them with a cutting pad, steel t-square and a scalpel knife.

I use Walmarts Photo Centre myself for the nice and glossy kind. (Doesn't have a working printer.)
