Help ID'ing DVD Cases?

Hi all,

My first post here I've just recently got into repairing and remaking covers for my old DVDs and I bought a cheap lot of cases off the net - the trouble is I cannot find a template that will fit them

Was wondering if anyone could help identify them:



On a lighter note, I'm currently working on a new insert to replace my cardboard True Romance case. Next up is a Boiler Room replacement (and the purchase of a Canon i860 printer tomorrow).

If anyone has any requests, I could certainly try to do them - finding good source art is the worst part though.

TIA.

Looks like a Spider type case (I don't like them) They are smaller than amaray cases.

Any idea what template would fit them or am I going to have to break out the ruler and some trial and error?

I agree with you though - I'm not too fond of them either. They're nothing like the website picture and feel rather flimsy, but I guess you can't complain too much when they're $15 for 50.

I don't know, I got rid of all my Spiders. Have you tried the template on dvdgreek.com?

DL the blank template and print it out as an outline so you can see if itll fit without wasting ink.

Thanks Duz - tired it out and they seem to be standard size except the spine is very slightly smaller.

Now I just have to figure out how to print a 10.8" layout on a 11" glossy without it cropping the end off. The new Canon i860 drivers won't turn off borders.

What I do is:
Tape a half sheet of standard paper to the 'tale' of the photo paper.

Then tell the printer that you are using 8.5"X14" Legal paper.

Set/move image to leading edge of print out. how you would do this depends on the image program and printer and printer driver you are using.
I use Photohop and a Lexmark Z45 printer, if I set the leading edge of the image to start printing at 0.173" then the tale edge print flush with the end of the photo paper... this way I only need to trim three sides of the finished cover.
