Printing DVD Jewel Box covers?
Is there any freeware software out there that can do this? Print a front, back and spine cover for a DVD jewel case without having to worry about cutting pieces up? Simply fold and insert and trim away the unprinted on paper?

I use the standard cases and photo paper designed for them from Meritline.com. Meritline has an EZ Label app for free for that paper. It is rather basic, but more complicated than a document template. It does basic text insertion and graphics insertion. I build a graphic in Animation:Master and then put in. It is on Meritline's site if you find the inserts.
I have examples Here Edit = Here is the Meritline page for the inserts I use and the link to templates and the app are there http://www.meritline.com/merdvdcasinp.html And yes, sorry that they are in the US, but you should be able to find a site where you can order without going through customs or such. |

What size paper do you need? I remember I tried a while ago and standard US Letter paper was too small to fit the case.

That now brings me to my next question. Anybody know where to buy A4 size paper in the US? Paper suitable for labels that is. I grew up using A4 paper at school in England, but I haven't seen any available here in the US. Colin
