which paper is best for printing covers?

any ideas?

i've used regular glossy photo paper, but it seems to be too thick...

can anyone recommend a thinner, glossy paper? (hopefully something that can be picked up locally such as at office max or depot).

thanks...

no sure what kind of printer you have, but i use canon high resolution paper. it's 24lb, really bright and has a decent sheen to it. around $10 for 100 sheets and can be found in most stores. if you want something a bit thicker, matte photo paper works well too.

I used to use the HP paper, but it wasn't exactly cheap.

I went over to the local Office Depot and they had a sale on the "store brand" glossy paper (44 lb). Buy 2 get 1 free.

Excellent deal and I'm not complaining about the paper at all.
