Are there any sites where people have put tracklistings and any artwork for bootlegs?

Thanks Quiff Boy!

they're the only two that have bootleg details & cover scans that i can think of off the top of my head

there's probably more though

I tend to make them. Let me know what you're after and I'll check my archives. I don't have anything online at the moment...

mine has the original

KG demo, WEA Mix & Under the knife, all others are easy enough to get

I do my own covers, usually

That or at Hal's site would be much appreicated.

What kind of paper do you use? Does the printer matter (other than being color)?

I use a Xerox coated 205gsm (I think, might be 190gsm) it's the only thing that will go thru our HP R2D2 look-a-like of a printer.
If I was to print them on the Xerox Docutech downstairs, they are as good as offset litho with gloss inks. They cost 60p a pass tho.

that was nerd talk, wasn't it?

Nope the 205 is probably 190 - that what I would tend to do them on. Xerox is good - I had to make do with a Canon and the offset was a bit iffy at times. But 60p a pass is a bit much...

@ Karst Welcome fellow lazer printer/paper weight nerd!

your nerdynesses on this matter are noted and appreciated

The Boss has caught us Karst run...

Hehehehe.

Btw. the biggest problem I found was doing them double sided through the bypass feed. Some of the ink started to lift when it ran through the Canon 700. On the one hand that added an interesting texture but on the other meant that the font rendering had problems. Certainly when you're using Caslon which is fairly detailed anyway. I found myself having to add some drop shadow to make it come out and take out the grease. I actually had the WEA mixes artwork run through a Xerox recently and it was pitch perfect - I forgotten to take out the shadow from behind the logo and it came out clean as a whistle. Although that was doing B/W.

Nerdy enough QB?

Perhaps adding to Hal's case, I:

a) Understood all that.
b) Found it interesting.

no, I just think you're all mac users with an unhealthy interest in paper. so, can any of you tell me if triple ply is worth it?
