Subject: RE: CD Cover Art - How?
Hmmmm. We've been creating our own templates on Pagemaker for years and printing the jewel box inserts to an Epson inkjet with reasonably good results; any minor printer hick-up will screw up your copy registration if its two-sided.

We recently acquired a full set of templates for free via the web from Oasis (see their ad in Sing Out!) which I found useful. Note, if you are sending a file out for commercial printing be sure to have your graphics separately included and linked to your copy; sometimes if you transfer them via the clipboard, they look better on your monitor (and print fine on the inkjet) but don't print that way via the commercial printer. Also, if you're using a commercial printer, you may need to be more careful about what type of color you use, Pantone or whatever. The whole process of dealing with Oasis was an eye-openner for me. We are eagerly awaiting our first set of proofs.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
