I think “Main Feature” sounds better, but that’s just me.

I agree. So that way we can use the existing JMoomer labels for DISC ONE. I just made a new DISC TWO for the documentaries for the 50GB version.

Oh, I didn’t even realize that. Yeah, if that also saves you some work, bonus. 😃

Here are my 50GB labels so far. I decided to make a new one for the main feature so I can keep my discs straight as I start to build out my 50GB nvjc set.

Wow, that X-Wing label is incredible.

Fantastic work, Stealthboy!

Question…i’m printing from a canon mx922. The outer text is being cut off a bit from the stock printing app. How do you guys print your discs? Tips?

I’m on a Mac. I installed the MX922 drivers, but I do NOT use the Canon printing app.

I use Preview to view the disc art, then I print from there. In the print dialog, I select the correct paper size (disc tray) and the correct media (printable disc). I had to create a temp image that has a bit of white at the top of the disc image, so when I print it it all lines up. It took me a few discs to calibrate correctly. So instead of just a square image with the circle disc label, It’s taller than it is wide because I have to put a white band at the top.

I will try that when i get home. Thanks!

Wow. Stellar work, stealthboy, you really have a knack for making stunning covers and labels. Would you ever consider making a Criterion style set for the 35mm Trilogy (SSE and the two Grindhouse films)?

You know, I was considering including them in with my NJVC 50GB set. I have some extra three-disc Criterion cases, so I was contemplating including the SSE/Grindhouse as a third disc for each film…

That could be cool, and save some shelf space.

Ok, finished the six disc labels - two for each film. Disc one is “MAIN FEATURE” and disc two is “DOCUMENTARIES”. This is for the 50 GB version of the NJVC set.

Everything is up here:

Hi stealthboy, gorgeous work on this! I burned all my feature/special features/documentaries spanning two discs per movie for a total of 3-2 disc cases. Will your 50 GB covers work for me?

Yep; I’m also making myself a set of the 50GB versions. I have sub-folders in each of the folders at my Google drive link for 50GB versions of things. The 50GB covers are very similar, just a few changes for SW and ESB for the number of audio options, then more changes for ROJ to include all of the trilogy documentaries found on the 50GB version. Those covers are all done and posted up there on Google drive. You’ll also find 50GB versions of the disc labels (since they just have 2 discs instead of 3 per film).

So, as an example, go into my “Covers” folder, then in there, go to “Covers for 50GB discs”. In there you’ll find the 50GB variants.

The only thing missing is the individual flyer for ROJ that will go inside the case for that film. I hope to have that done tonight.

Stealthboy,

In the other thread on box sets you said that you use the Gimp… and might post your raw Gimp files.

Any chance you could do that?

I am putting together a mega set that I want to have for myself and to give to a couple of friends.

I am not sure what I am going to include when all is said and done, but I know it will be at least 10 discs… njvc’s 50GB versions + docu disc + SSE/Grindhouse disc.

There will be at least 1 BD Rom with additional computer-based materials.

Your covers/discs are exactly the look/feel that I want and I’d love to be able to modify/customize/edit for the remaining disc(s) as I put them together.

Thanks,

Ted

Sure, I’ll add the source XCF files to that google drive folder I linked to. Sorry, I totally forgot to add those files up there.

Funny you mention the “mega” set you’re working on, because that’s exactly what I’m doing - Adding in the SSE/Grindhouse discs as a third disc to each in the 50GB njvc set. I was just organizing all my various Star Wars VHS/DVD/BD and am trying to cut down on shelf space!

Thanks very much!

I’ll look forward to the XCF files on your google drive.

By the way… I found a small typo on the ESB cover. In the blurb/description paragraph at the top left of the back…

“Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) seeks out the ancient Yoda to LEAN the secrets of the Jedi…”

I’m sure you meant learn instead of lean, right?

Thanks again!

Thank you so much!

I did a test print of the ESB disc label and the cover from my new MX922… simply brilliant!

Can’t wait to get my Criterion BD cases that I ordered and build my box. I am planning to create a “clone” of the LOTR Extended Edition Blu-Ray box to hold the discs.

Hopefully, when I’m done, I’ll have something worth sharing back to the community.

I really appreciate the (huge) head start you just gave me by sharing your XCF files.

What size card stock did you use to print out the outer box set?

Is it 8.5 x 11? Or bigger? did you go to a print shop to do this?

I constructed the box first out of black chipboard connected together with paper tape. Then I printed the images on glossy 8.5 x 11 photo paper. I printed the front and back separately. After cutting them out with an X-acto knife, I used a spray adhesive on the back of the paper to attach them to the thick cardboard box.
