DVD covers missing the edge

[Tavz]

Hi, I am using the Nero DVD cover program and I have also tried CoverXP. With CoverXP the case covers come out to small in length and with the Nero cover program they print out the whole thing but the right side is missing like a quarter inch. Anyone know how I can fix either of these? Preferably the Nero one. Thanks

Under Print Setup under Paper it says Size: Letter. Does that maybe need to be changed? Im using Photopaper that is the size of a normal sheet off paper.

Try changing it to A4.

Actually, isn't A4 the same as letter size ?

Also try changing the paper size to legal and sometimes the printer will keep printing because it assumes the paper goes farther & some printer's have a sensor and no matter what you set the paper size to it will detect that the paper is ending and will stop printing the whole cover. I used to have to tape 2 piece's of glossy photo paper together for covers because of that problem on acouple of HP printer's.

Edit: Nope, guess A4 is between legal and letter size :P

A4 is 210mm by 297mm, whereas letter is 216mm by 279mm, whereas legal is 216mm × 356mm. I'm not sure how Nero's cover-printer works (whether it prints to the extreme outer edge or not), but it would make sense that the quarter-inch missing is because it thinks the paper is 6mm wider than it actually is ...

On my Epson printer, I have to change settings for DVD covers printed on 8 1/2 X 11 paper.

Under the "paper" tab in "printing properties" there is a "printable area" section. In that I have to choose "maximum" (as opposed to "standard") and also choose "centered".

hmm...thats wierd. I have Epson R200, and use CoverXP for all my covers and they all print out fine?

I use Nero Cover Designer for all my covers and they print perfect on "CD-Stomper" DVD inserts. These have the perforations aprx. 1/4 in on the lead in side and about 1/2 inch on the lead out end.
My first couple were off a little in the spine section so you have to go into the
File/ Preferences/ Printing/ and change the printing offsets, horizontal/vertical. For my inserts (A4) it's is set at 2.0mm "bleeding space", 0.0mm horizontal and -6.0mm vertical. There is a calibration selection that I used to get the adjustments close. But due to having to fold the paper twice and getting out the MM ruler to measure the offsets I mostly selected by results and after about 2 tries had it perfect.
One ofther note. A lot of the pics from a D/L site are not the correct size even after opening them in Nero Cover. and pulling both sides in or one side out a little farther aligns the center spine correctly. I only print the spine though and white out the front and back.
I find Nero works perfect for me after some very minor tweaking of the offsets.
Good luck.
