Ron, what brand type of Inkjet printable Bluray discs do you use?

I think they were TDKs, but I recently re-ordered and got some Verbatim discs.

I’ll give 'em a shot. Google hasn’t been a whole lot of help - a lot of discussions over the years regarding the ‘best’ to use.

A couple links for anyone interested:
http://www.avsforum.com/forum/106-dvd-recorders-standard-def/1708209-blu-ray-blank-disc-recommendations.html
http://www.avsforum.com/forum/106-dvd-recorders-standard-def/614479-media-deals-week.html

Seems TDK, Verbatim, and Optical Spectrum come up the most and to stay away from “BD-R LTH.”

Hello ronwlim, as far as large inkjet printers go would a Canon iP8720 or Epson Artisan 1430 suffice? These are two large format printers I’ve found that seem to have good reviews, but also more importantly include cd/dvd/bluray printing.

I don’t have much experience with Epsons. My friend who printed mine uses the CANON PIXMA iX6820 Wireless Printer, which for some reason has dropped to $120 on Amazon US…

Thanks for the response. Do you know what type of 13x19 stock/lb paper your friend used for printing out your slipcase?

Canon matte photo paper, but the heavier the stock, the better. Get the heaviest that will feed through.

Thanks man, now it’s a matter of trial and error for my own project. And as has been said, awesome work and thanks for sharing it.

this is some of the most beautiful cover work i have seen, i love it.

i am curious as to your technique for making the box. i am planning on making my own box for each of the trilogies and i would love any and all insight you could lend.

thanx

Use a large inkjet printer and 13 x 19 paper for the slipcases, as heavy a paper stock as your printer will accept.

Harmy's STAR WARS Respecialized Edition '97 - AVCHD and MKV Released

It’s not really clear if there are plans. Since the vast majority of the 97SE films are available in HD quality via 2004/2011 versions, and the very few pre-2004 elements are now available as 35mm, it would make sense to wait until he begins work on the 1080p 3.0 series.

Thanks. Still getting up to speed as I read through about these releases. The 3.0 is a starting pointing for a ‘new’ DeSpecialized though, correct?

Well I apologize for the snark, but the original reply had its own level of that IMO. Being new on here, I did not realize the strict ruling, but its understandable since others (and LucasFilm) did the heavy work.

So in fairness, YES, I have purchased the Bluray once (in 2015), but gave it away (not resale) if that counts - in any case, LucasFilm got my money. At least I’m being honest right? In my possession currently I retained the VHS and DVD sets.

Anyways, thanks for answering the question with ANH being the one for now. Are the other ones being ReSpecalized? If not, I think may just end up trying to convert the VHS I have for ESB and RoTJ in the mean time.

Are there respecialized versions of Empire Strikes Back and Return of The Jedi VHS works as well?

The SW 97 Special Edition is the only VHS set I have left in my media collection. I’ve refrained from purchasing further SW sets, especially the new “official” bluray sets that added such weird changes - it would awesome to simply have the 97 editions on bluray alonside the Despecialized versions. I was going to try straight converting the VHS films to bluray myself, but I’m afraid of ruining it so it would be far more ideal to download these instead.

K, that doesn’t answer my question. A simple Yes or No - as far as I can see, there is only a New Hope at the moment?
