    Printing on both sides...

    lol, indeed a rediculous question, but how, when making a cd cover, do u print on both sides of the sheet and have it perfectly lined up?

    what can you use to do it?

    simple answer - u can't. not without professional printing equipment pressumably. even if u fed the paper in the other way up, it would never be exactly in the same place - it's an imperfect world!. you could try it, but print them slightly bigger and then trim the edges to the correct size.

    There's some software on the web called 'CoverXP' which is the best i've found.

    Use a duplex printer if u got 4 grand to spare :E otherwise, use manual duplexing software as stated above. Or just search for print manual duplexing on google and get some programs to do it there.

    the only way ive found to do it, is to print off the cover as normal then stick the actuall cover onto the paper aligned with the print then send it back through the printer. its a total botchit job but the easiest way ive done it, those cover programs tend to be crap as they never print where the cover is

    place the images on seperate layers...
    line the layers up with each other...
    hide one of the layers..
