Cover Printing Software
I need help with a good program for printing DVD covers. I have a good printer and Accoustica Labeler (v. 2.55). They print out fine on legal sized paper but I want to print my covers on regular sized (8.5 x 11) photo paper but the image shrinks and looks terrible as a cover. Any ideas. (I hope this was the right forum to post). Thanks

Go with Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. As for your shrinking problem, it sounds like you have the "scale to fit" option selected - deselect that in your print options. You might also need to employ the famous "paper trick" if your printer is picky. With some printers you can load 8.5 x 11" paper and just select 8.5 x 14" and it won't cry foul. For others you have to tape a 3" strip of paper to the end of your main sheet to create a Frankenstein Legal sheet, and peel the strip off when you're done. You might also need to activate the borderless feature if your printer has it.

Max, have been using Mediaface II from Fellowes for quite a while now. Use to have the same problem as you, but this program prints to a single 8.5x11 without issue. Has an easy to use template. See link.
