Correct way to print out a CD cover/insert - Blu-ray Forum

Monterey Jack · 04-03-2012, 02:25 AM

I'm trying to make a custom cover for a burned CD I have, and don't have the slightest idea what dimensions (in pixels) to make them so they'll print out the correct size to fit into a jewel case. Any suggestions?

Anybody?

If I remember correctly 400x400 is the correct size...

Try again; at 300 pixels per inch, the correct dimensions are 1500 x 1500 pixels, or 5" squared.

So 1500 x 1500 is what I should try for the back cover insert?

I didn't know you were asking about the back. According to my measurements on a jewel case's insert, the back measures about 5 & 11/16" wide, with an additional 1/4" on each side, for folding. The height is 4 & 5/8". So, at 300 pixels per inch, that's a total of 1856 x 1388 pixels.

Width: 75 + 1706 + 75 = 1856 pixels horizontal
Height: 1388 pixels vertical
