Trying To Create A New DVD Cover with 8.5"x11" Paper?

Hello,

I am trying to create a DVD cover using 8.5"x11" paper. Is there a program that will do this. I have Expressit IT 2.2 but it will only let me print on A4 paper for DVD Covers. A4 paper is hard for me to get a hold of so I want to figure out how to print on 8.5x11.

TIA!!

MD

Hi,

What about just using Word or Open Office.org writer? You'd have to create a template in order to have the right dimensions first, but then you can design the cover any way you like.

I use Acoustica for labeling thin jewel cases as well as direct printing on CD/DVD.
Acoustica is very flexible as to what type of media you want to use and what type of case you want to label.
I have loads of 8.5 x 11 glossy photo paper, so that is what I use and then cut out the labels.

Most DVD case inserts are larger (longer) than your printer margins can print on letter size paper. I use legal size. Letter size will result in roughly 1/4" of unprinted space on one end. Depending on your printer's margins, you'll need to shrink the cover image down to fit, in whatever program you use for this.
