CD Template
I was looking through some of the templates and found one for CD covers. But when I load it up it is a square and not circle. Can anyone tell me about this template? I am working on a new CD and would like ot give it a go doing the artwork myself. Thanks

I am working on a new CD and would like ot give it a go doing the artwork myself. Thanks That template is for the card insert into a CD jewel box. If you look around (libre/openoffice) there are similar for DVD boxes. For a CD/DVD disk attached the vital dimemensions ![]() and the template I use. ![]() This is sized for 300 ppi printing. It has a layer mask, but to be honest it is usually easier to turn this off and cut off the excess before printing. Turn the circles off as well. The printers I use come with CD/DVD printing software which crops the inner and outer circles anyway. If you are thinking of printing on adhesive labels - not a good idea. There are templates for this as well - repeat, not a good idea. ** https://www.gimp-forum.net/ now answering questions** |

I am using someone elses computer and they do not have the saoftware to the printer they have. I am sure it works ok though. I just need 5 cd's to send off to CD Baby. Thanks again. J. |

RE: CD Template
Never come across CDBaby before.
there are a load of templates here. http://duplication.cdbaby.com/Quoter/Templates.aspx the disk templates are here http://duplication.cdbaby.com/templates/.../UD100.zip Then the first snag. There is a PS .psd file but it is CMYK & no good for Gimp and a weird profile to boot. ![]() There is also an equivalent .ai file that opens in InkScape. Looks like this. ![]() It is 300 dpi but is 2 layers - the one shown and the art-work as a layer underneath. Looks like (can-of-worms) they want cmyk My advice, ask them what format is acceptable. ** https://www.gimp-forum.net/ now answering questions** |
