As much as I would like to give the dvds out to people who are willing to cover shipping and materials.... sorry, I can't do that this time. I recently got a new expensive printer that prints super awesomely godly, but the catch is the thing eats up ink really fast and the cartridges are not cheap... I only got enough cartridges to supply the editors as of this moment. No, I don't want deal with SASE or sharpie copies either.
on that, I would either
a) Charge a fee for the dvd that includes these costs in each DVD, or:
b) Use a color copy service such as Kinkos or Staples to make the DVD case inserts, and only use the printer for the actuall labels on the disks, and still charge a fee for the costs of these materials (which would be substantially lower then the first method, and be more permanent since its color laser they use)
I used to distribute fansubs back in the day with full cover art, and this is the method I used to do it. You can't realy tell the quality difference once its in the case.
Those who realy want it will not mind paying extra for these things.
just a suggestion.
