Single-Sided Printing
These instructions are for people who print on one side of the paper and either fold or cut and paste the sides together.
Open the zip file and load the two images into your photo editor. The files should already be at printing quality, but some editors
change the sizes. To check, find your menu option that lets you see the image's information, such as "resize image". When the images are the right size, just print them on your printer's highest quality.
Appropriate Image Dimensions:
Front Cover: 4.75 in. x 4.75 in.
Inside Booklet: 4.75 in. x 4.75 in.
Together: 4.75 in. X 9.5 in.
Back Cover: 4.64 in. x 5.9 in.
Back Insert: 4.64 in. x 5.4 in.
Together: 4.64 in. x 9.28 in.
Inserts Template: Double-Sided Printing
To Use:
Open the two files in your photo editor. Open the zip file of the show and load the two inserts (if there are two). Cut and paste the outer two sections (the two pictures you will see when the cd case is closed) onto the
front template. Be sure to rotate them to match up the TOP. Do the same for the bottom template, except you should stretch the two inner sections (the two pictures you will see when the cd case is open) to fit.
I did this so that there won't be any lines on one side when you cut.
These files are also at 300 dpi, at 100%. That means they are the right quality and size. If your pictures don't come close to fitting, they are not at printing quality so you need to change them (see above dimensions).
To Print:
These files were made to work for double-sided printing. Therefore you need to make sure your printer centers the images instead of left aligned.
Print on your printer's highest quality to get the best printouts. I suggest running a test print on draft quality of the template images first. Hold the paper up to a light and see if the front cover fits inside the back and that the back cover fits inside the inserts. When your images are all printed out, simply cut the smaller pictures out of the bigger ones.
